“The big thing that helps us,” concluded the head of the police, “is
that the government supports us up to the limit. For example, it cost
us two hundred thousand dollars to convict in one famous murder case,
but it was done and the guilty man hanged. Ottawa always tells us that
it is prepared to spend any amount of money rather than have a murderer
go unpunished. It is that policy that enables us to keep order here.”

Millions of Americans have already found Carpenter their ideal fellow
traveller, and have enjoyed visiting with him all the corners of the
globe. He tells his readers what they want to know, shows them what
they want to see, and makes them feel that they are there.
CARPENTER’S WORLD TRAVELS are the only works of their kind. These books
are familiar talks about the countries and peoples of the earth, with
the author on the spot and the reader in his home. No other one man
has visited so much of the globe and written on the ground, in plain
and simple language, the story of what he has found. CARPENTER’S WORLD
TRAVELS are not the casual record of incidents of the journey, but the
painstaking study of a trained observer, devoting his life to the task
of international reporting. Each book is complete in itself; together
they form the most vivid, interesting, and understandable picture of
our modern world ever published. They are the fruit of more than thirty
years of unparalleled success in writing for the American people, and
the capstone of distinguished services to the teaching of geography in
our public schools, which have used some four million copies of the
Carpenter Geographical Readers.
