The author of this series knows children and their interests; schools
and their possibilities; pedagogy and its lessons; nature, literature
and art, and their resources in education. The series has individuality.
Beginning with live phonics and vivid drama, it includes fairy and folk
lore, games, stories of school activities, of primitive life, of nature,
of child life in other lands, dramatizations, and a wealth of standard
literature that appeals to the growing child.
_Bertha M. Bentley, Primary Supervisor, Speyer School, Teachers College,
Columbia University_: I have examined the Haliburton Readers quite
thoroughly and find them very satisfactory. For readers built upon a
phonic scheme they are far ahead of most readers of that sort. The
material is literary in character and interesting to children.
_Ann Beers, Supervising Principal, Jefferson School, Washington, D. C._:
The Haliburton Readers are striking in many ways: in binding, in type,
in paper, in illustration, in arrangement, in subject matter, in
suggestion, in vocabulary, and in many other delightful matters. One can
say most emphatically that these books make an inestimably valuable
acquisition to the reading matter of a school system. I can also report
the very earnest approval of the books by the teachers of some of my
best schools.

WINSLOW'S GEOGRAPHY READERS
_By_ I. O. WINSLOW
_Superintendent of Schools, Providence, R. I._
THIS series occupies a unique position in that it combines the
advantages of the customary text-book with those of the so-called
geographical reader. It is thoroughly modern in placing chief emphasis
on industrial and commercial aspects, yet ample treatment is given to
political geography, which is taught in its relation to economic phases.
I--THE EARTH AND ITS PEOPLE
Covers the introductory course in geography. Here are given the
necessary facts about the soil, atmosphere, earth and waters, and an
industrial survey of the Continents.
Cloth. 191 pages. 23 maps; 7 in color. 126 illustrations. 60 cents.
II--THE UNITED STATES
Builds upon the foundation laid in Book I, and completes the treatment
of this country by giving all the essentials for an elementary course.
Industries, commerce, and natural resources are emphasized.
Cloth. 223 pages. 19 maps; 7 in color. 155 illustrations. 60 cents.
III--OUR AMERICAN NEIGHBORS
