regular terminaticns of derivatives than
on. all other classes of words com
bined and yet Webster's Practical is the
lonly cheap dictionary that has ever at
tempted to give them. The New Ameri-
can and National Popular, for instance.

five years has been nearly one million

specially fitting titles for n lexicon omit
ting "a out of so words in common use
and yet none of the older dollar diction-
aries are moro complete in this particular.
In view of this fact. which can be easily
verified, who will say that any child can
afford to use such incomplete works while
iWebster's Practical is available at only 81?
Condensation.-By grouping all de-
r1vative and compound words under their
root or leader, such words are adequately
treated in one-third of the space required
by the old arrangement. The derivative
trates this point-50 lexicon words in as
many lines. By this means nearly all the
dce irable material t. be found in the 81
and S5 dictionaries is presented in Il con-
venient and handy form in WebSter's
Practical for only 81.

Association We comprehend as we'll

Citations. The new grouping methods
employed in Webster's Practical not only
saves space, but it utilizes the principles
of association in such way that the per-
son who carefully reads the above para
graphs for instance, will comprehend and
remember two or three times as much as
could be gained in the same number of
minutes by consulting the old arrange

airy: and no considerable parent will per-
nit it to be omitted from his next educa-
tional investment-only 81.
Minimum Loss $40 Annually.-The
importance of supplying every child with
Webster's Practical for his very own
is not generally appreciated. In view OF
the fact that it is possible for a child to
learn more from a good dictionary than
from all other text books usually en-
ployed on Il common school education, it
is evident that the price of Webster'5
Practical bears almost no proportion 10
its many advantages over the older " Ork3.
If the time and possible educational re-
QuirementS are e. be valued, SO is very
low estimate Of tn" annual loss TO every
child who for any reason whatever shall
not be provided with Wcbster's Practical
for daily and hourly reference: and a
little self-dcnial to provide one or more
copies in every family will provo Il better
economy than an endowment Of boarded
bank stock later on in life. Every reader
needs copy of Websters Practical at
only 81. Don't forget about it.

comprehend and remember more readily by the
new grouping method. but we do 1t in less than q
fourth of the time required when the words
