have received copies OF the New
Primary Geography and the New In
termediate Geography. The New
Primary Geography is improved in

the maps are new, and are exceed.
ingly accurate and beautiful. The
full two-page map of the United
States, pages % and 20, is the finest to
be found in any book of this grade
There are also many new illustrations
by Peter Moran, Alice Brber, Lum-
mis- and other eminent artists. The
