The
Teacher

The The Century Dictionary
Teacher and CycloPedia and Atlas
are essentially the ten best
books for teachers as they are for students,
school-chldren or college professors. They
embrace the sum of the worlds knowledge
from the beginning down to to-day.
The wealth of facts Is presented so con-
cisely as TO entirely do away with the cum
bersome textures of most other works OF the
sort-so clearly as to be readily understood
BY child-and in such order as to be in
stantly fndable lone doesn't have to
LEARN how to find things in the Cen
fury"
A child learns more in five minutes Of
independent study than from half an hour
spent in acquiring knowledge second hand.
In this connection the illustrations OF The
Century ar. a great help. Often picture
will make plain what a column of words
could not explain. Wherever this is the case
The Century gives the picture. There are in
the work nearly {, 200 illustrations drawn
and engraved by the artists who have made
The Century Magazine famous. IN the
one department Of architecture alone there
are more illustrations than in any archi-
tectural book ever published. Animals,
plants, cath-drals, musical instruments,
machinery, antique vases, shells, guns-all
are Profusely illustrated. IF the illustrations
were gathered together they would I'll 500

The Century:
The
Writer

Nr;ta- The Century:
." II is good thing to have
within reach such storehouse Of informa-
ton. Instead Of wandering through IL
braries to hnd or miss some important fact
or discovery or discussion or controversy,
al you have to DO is to recall the first two
OF three letters OF the subject you are elab-
Grating and put your hand on the volume
that contains all you want to know. For
al the hurried and hard-worked thinkers of
the country, The Century Dictionary and
Cyclopedia and Atlas is rescue and rein
forcement.
A literary man accustomed To the use Of
books cannot but see the value Of The Cen
tury. But any man of affairs can test its
worth to him in thorough and satisfactory
manner If he will look up the definitions in
his own business or profession. For in
stance, let the doctor turn to such words as
fever, operation ~ the stock broker or
banker to ''put, " "call, - future, - "naar-
gin, privilege" option" the clergy
man to Church, - '1irurgy," " Catholic"
the engineer to "arch, " 'water-supply,
"aqueduct;" and then let him remember
that every other field of inquiry IS covered
WITH equal fulness and accuracy. Or let
him open any OF the other dictionaries and
encyclopedias at any word he plcases and
compare them with The Century. He will
often look in the older works and not find
II; ne will never turn to The Century in
vain.

able to distance. anything in these

The craft is to be twenty-four feel
long, seven-foot beam and will draw
about fifteen inches of water. She is
square at the ends, neither of which
touch the water. She will carry about
five hundred square yards OF canvass
There are several craft of her build in

been tried they show remarkable
speed. Mr.. Cow1es will take cruise
