Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-19
NOVEL EDUCATIONAL FEATURE
is PLANNED
Subscribers to Be Given Opportunity
of Securing Set of Hish-Class
PoIychrome Views and an
Improved Stereoscope

1t has been said upon numerous oc-
casions and in reference to many un-
dertakings that there is Nothing new
under the sum-" and no doubt this same
remark will find expression from many
persons when the announcement first
reaches them that The Herald is to
offer a set of stereoscopic views to its
subscribers, together with an improved
stereoscope, making a complete tour of
the world.
Previous announcements appearing
in these columns during the last week
have not only described the Polychrome
Stereo views at length, but also have
made reference to the practical man
ner being employed by the public
school systems in eastern cities in ar
ranging for a new and more thorough
study of geography and history COM
bined.
While there may seem to be nothing
apparently new in the announcement
of Offering stereoscopic views to the
public as a means of supplying gen.
eral line of Photographic subjects.
there will be something more contained
in not only the views themselves, but
in the character of the views, the plan
of Offering and best of all the oppor-
tunity of obtaining these views with
best results, which means that The
Heralds plan will prove most popular
with its thousands of readers.
Contains One Hundred Scenes
This series of polychrome views con-
tains one hundred scenes, comprising
a tour of the world. The views have
been selected from a collection of 30
900 of the highest class of stereo sub
iects ever obtained, and the further
fact that these views are all new and
original makes them of greater value
than the usual stereo view found on
sale.
The distribution of stereoscopes and
views will necessarily be confined to
actual subscribers to The Herald and
in order to make this plan practical
and popular it is proposed to offer one
of the magnificent aluminium hood
stereoscopes absolutely free to every
subscriber who agrees to take The
Daily Herald for six months; the poly
chrome stereo views will then be sup
piled to each subscriber at nominal
charge of only one cent each. The
views will be supplied at any time
during the continuance of the subscrip-
ton, but it is expected that each per-
son will want at least twenty-five OF
the first subjects upon receipt OF the
stereoscope. All persons desiring to go
"Around the World" with The Herald
NAV do so with the greatest of con-
venience by adopting the easy method
to be supplied in this connection.
Summer Vacation Study
Beginning with the first subject in
this series of views, which represents
a new picture of the national capitol
at Washington, d. C., where this grand
tour of the world starts, there will be
published in a special department of
| The Daily Herald, to be known as the
Summer Vacation Study" three days
each week-Mondays. Wednesdays and
Fridays, or every other week day-an
encyclopaedia description of each sub
iect in regular order. This study will
give all information briefly, enabling
the student to obtain a correct under
standing of the geographical location
as we'll as the historical description OF
each. The practical educational fea-
ture is brought out from having the
polychrome view made in the Colors
of nature, and when examined through
| the improved stereOScope, together
with the description furnished through
The Herald, will be found of the great
est value as a means of obtaining :
correct understanding Of the scenes
presented,
The Herald management has OBJ
tanned expressions of opinion from {
few leading educators as well as prac
teal business men in Los Angeles re
garding the advisability of such (
class of study as well as the qualit!
of subjects selected.

,I Study plan as we'll as the eXtremel,
liberal method to be employed i'll dis
tributing the stereoscopes and views, t
be most feasible. "You can say for me,
he continued, that 1 commend you
plan of Offering the public this specia
class of study most highly. I consde
stereoscopic views to be of the high
est type of illustration and in fact tn
only class that will convey to the min
an adequate understanding of tn
: original. I feel sure that with the op
portunity this plan will present to GU
boys and girls, and older folks for tina

abled to interest several thousands O
:, Californians in accompanying ther
