NOVEL EDUCATIONAL FEATURE
IS PLANNED
Subscribers to Be Given Opportunity
of Securing a Set of High-cIass
PoIychrome Views and an
Improved Stereoscope

1t has been said upon numerous oc-
| casions and in reference to many I'M
| 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 i'm
proved stereoscope, making a complete
! tour of the world.
| Previous announcements appearing in
these columns during the last week
have not only described the Poly
chrome stereo views at length, but
also have made reference to the prac-
teal manner being employed by the
public school systems in eastern cities
in arranging for a new and more thor
ough study of geography and history
combined.
While there may seem to be nothing
apparently new in the announcement
of offering stereoscopic views to the
public as a means of supplying a gen.
eral line of Photographic subjects,
there will be something more con-
! tanned in not only the views them
selves, but in the character of the
views. the plan of offering and, best
of all, the opportunity of obtaining
these views with best results, which
means lldJ Inc herdlu S pan Will
prove most popular with it's thousands
of readers.
Contains One Hundred Scenes
This series of polychrome views con-
tains one hundred scenes, comprising
tour of the world. The views have
been selected from a collection of
100000 of the highest class of stereo
subjects ever obtained, and the fur
~ vii a
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 a nominal
charge of only one cent each. The
views will be supplied at any time
during the continuance of the sub
scription, but it is expected that each
person 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 may do so with the greatest
of convenience by adopting the easy
method to be supplied in this connec-
ton.
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
subject in regular order This study
will give all information briefly, en-
aiding the student to obtain a correct
understanding of the geographical To-
cation as we'll as the historical de-
scription of each. The practical edu-
cational feature is brought out from
having the polychrome view made in
the colors of nature, and when eX-
amined through the improved stereo-
scope. together with the description
furnished through The Herald, will be
found of the greatest value as a means
of obtaining a correct understanding
of the scenes presented.
The Herald management has OBJ
tanned expressions of opinion from a
few leading educators, as we'll as prac-
teal business men in Los Angeles, re-
garding the advisability of such a
class of study, as well as the quality of
subjects selected.
