requiring arduous journeys by dog-team in the frozen north and by launch
in the snake-haunted and alligator-filled Everglades of Florida, while
the enumerator whose work lies among the dangerous criminal classes of
the greater cities must take his life in his own hands.

"Every young man should read this story, thereby getting a clear
conception of conditions as they exist to-day, for such knowledge
will have a clean, invigorating and healthy influence on the young
growing and thinking mind."--_Boston Globe_.

THE BOY WITH THE U. S. FISHERIES

[Illustration: The Boy With the U. S. Fisheries]

The book does not lack thrilling scenes. The far Aleutian Islands have
witnessed more desperate sea-fighting than has occurred elsewhere since
the days of the Spanish Buccaneers, and pirate craft, which the U. S.
Fisheries must watch, rifle in hand, are prowling in the Behring Sea
to-day. The fish-farms of the United States are as interesting as they
are immense in their scope.

"One of the best books for boys of all ages, so attractively
written and illustrated as to fascinate the reader into staying up
until all hours to finish it."--_Philadelphia Despatch_.

realize that in giving them to their boys they are providing wholesome
occupations which will encourage self-reliance and resourcefulness, and
discourage tendencies to be extravagant.

Outdoor and indoor pastimes have been given equal attention, and much of
the work is closely allied to the studies of the modern grammar and high
schools, as will be seen by a glance at the following list of subjects,
