_Four volumes. Each, cloth, 12mo. Uniform binding,
attractively boxed $5.00 net per set; carriage extra. Each
volume also sold separately._
In this set are included three of Professor Bailey's most
popular books as well as a hitherto unpublished one,--"The
Country-Life Movement." The long and persistent demand for a
uniform edition of these little classics is answered with the
publication of this attractive series.
The Country-Life Movement
_Cloth, 12mo, 220 pages, $1.25 net; by mail, $1.34_
This hitherto unpublished volume deals with the present
movement for the redirection of rural civilization,
discussing the real country-life problem as distinguished
from the city problem, known as the back-to-the-land
movement.
The Outlook to Nature (New and Revised Edition)
_Cloth, 12mo, 195 pages, $1.25 net; by mail, $1.34_
In this alive and bracing book, full of suggestion and
encouragement, Professor Bailey argues the importance of
contact with nature, a sympathetic attitude toward which
"means greater efficiency, hopefulness, and repose."
The State and the Farmer (New Edition)
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net; by mail, $1.34_
It is the relation of the farmer to the government that
Professor Bailey here discusses in its varying aspects. He
deals specifically with the change in agricultural methods,
in the shifting or the geographical centers of farming in the
United States, and in the growth of agricultural
institutions.
The Nature Study Idea (New Edition)
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net; by mail, $1.34_
"It would be well," the critic of _The Tribune Farmer_ once
wrote, "if 'The Nature Study Idea' were in the hands of every
person who favors nature study in the public schools, of
every one who is opposed to it, and, most important, of every
one who teaches it or thinks he does." It has been Professor
Bailey's purpose to interpret the new school movement to put
the young into relation and sympathy with nature,--a purpose
which he has admirably accomplished.
