ose.

Among other unique features of great value are the following:

In place of names, numbers are printed on these maps; this makes it
possible to do an infinite variety of work.

On the margin of the maps are indicated countries in similar latitude;
this feature can be best appreciated when one considers the difficulty
of making a child appreciate the comparative sizes of the different
countries. For instance, as the maps on which North America, Asia,
Australia appear are necessarily on different scales, the child cannot
understand, indeed never does understand, that India, Australia, and the
United States are of approximately the same size. In this series of
maps, on North America for instance, the pupil sees at a glance that
China and Chinese Tartary correspond almost exactly in latitude with the
United States and Mexico. That the British Isles and Labrador
correspond. That the southern part of Florida and Cuba are in the same
latitude as the Desert of Sahara, and other points of the same kind are
made clear to the student.

The set consists of the following:

NORTH AMERICA 28x40 INS.
CANADA AND BRITISH NORTH AMERICA 28x40 INS.
SOUTH AMERICA 28x40 INS.
EUROPE 28x40 INS.
ASIA 28x40 INS.
AFRICA 28x40 INS.
AUSTRALIA 28x40 INS.
EASTERN HEMISPHERE 28x40 INS.
WESTERN HEMISPHERE 28x40 INS.

In addition to these, a physical and astronomical chart--this for the
purpose of teaching geography--is in itself worth the price of the set.
It contains in picture the different geographical definitions: ocean,
bay, river, town, city, mountain, volcano, cape, promontory, etc., etc.,
etc.

Animal life in different zones is shown in beautiful colored pictures;
life in the ocean in different latitudes is also shown, and also plant
life. The chart of the Solar System also appears on this same sheet.

Schools desiring to examine the set can obtain them for examination by
remitting the amount. If the maps are returned, the charge will be $1.00
covering the expressage both ways; this $1.00, however, will not be lost
to purchaser, but will be credited on other maps, charts, or globes that
may be purchased.
