A MAP.

When L. NJ. Perkins and wife be.
gan their journey around the world
I. p. Daniels began a map of that
journey. The map has grown from
the time they left Baxter Springs,
nearly year ago, until their return
last week, when II was completed.
The map is no Jonah's gourd that
grew In single night, but the
growth of u year. II is worth its
weight in gold TO every teacher that
will take a lesson from il aud APP.
ply II In their class room. The
beauty OF Mr.. Daniels map is, when
you are following Mr.. and Mrs. Per
kins in their journey. so accurately
marked. you are not gazing upon
flat surface as in our books Or ge.
ography. but upon a sphere. Then
you are saved from the deception
OF gesgr Apply, where almost every
map Is shown upon different scale
that is, using different measure.
There is the map of the United
States where they began and ended
their journey resting upon a
sphere. The Pacific, Indian. and
Atlantic oceans are not fiat sur
faces of water, but spherical in
form, made so by the laws of gravi.
tatiou and thus represented.
One of the most striking features
of his map is marked where they
leave the Hawaiian Islands and
turn their course 10 the coast OF
Japan. When you reach Japan you
must carry with you MIR. Perkins
description of the scenes he visited
and In those scenes may be found
the real enjoyment of the journey.
and the true way used today in
teaching geography.
The long journey from Hong
Kong to the Suez Canal was broken
by q railroad ride across famine
stricken India. His stop in Egypt
the land of the Pharaoh. must have
filed his mind with the thoughts
of other days when half century
ago he visited that land and Pal.
estiue.
The rest of the journey lie had
travelled several times; hence. from
Rome. where he spent Il winter a
few seasons ago. he hastened home
to the land of all lands he loves the
b o. where his heart has been
with his family while his eyes have
been circling the globe. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Perkins we believe can
now sing and feel as never before:
my Country, tbs of Thee, Sweet
Land of Liberty; of Thee We Sing"
