TOUR OF THE WORLD
FOR HERALD READERS

present acting SupeIllllellutllti S"lH'
81 consider StereoScODlc views OF
great value as an educate medium.
The manner in which the stereoscope
causes the objects and figures to stand
out in a picture conveys to the mind
scene so life-like as to make it appear
that you are actually viewing the
original scene. The arrangement or
The Heralds World Tour is excellent
for in taking up any series of studies
of this character it will be found mucl
more practical to take up each scene IN
a regular course of travel as this Trip
| Around the World Series suggests, than
| to select subjects at random, as, 1ol
| instance, a study in America today and
| in Japan tomorrow"
| The value of the pOlychrome views
may be questioned by some who VII!
not take time or trouble to call ana m
Vestigate, therefore it was considered
wise to obtain a statement from some
person who it was considered would
prove an undisputed authority upon
! this class of work from both mechan-
[ cal and artistic point of view.
Praise from an Expert
George Steckel, who probably is the
! best known and most eminent author
ity on art photography and color repro
duction in Southern California and
whose work is known both in the
United States and abroad, has eX-
pressed the greatest interest in The
Herald series of polychrome stereo-
views. He says:
1.-The only photograph giving the most
perfect atmosphere and perspective
portrayal of the subject is a stereo-
scopic one. / had no idea that so per-
J feet a reproduction as the polychrome
views was possible. Every detail is
clear and sharp; in fact the average
quality of the polychrome views is
much higher than the photographs
usually turned out by commercial
houses.
"The natural colors of the poly
! chrome views are not only surprise
to me but are truly remarkable, and
this feature alone places them in a dis
tinctive class, both from an educational
, and entertainment standpoint.
"The publishers of these views are
now at work on a special series of
Southern California views. and this
set when issued should surely be of
the greatest value to our city and
vicinity. The opportunity will thus
afford thousands of people in the east
of gaining a more perfect knowledge Of
! our great natural advantages and beau
ties"
Great Educational Enterprise
S. ]. Chapman, whose progressive
ness and energy has done so much to-
ward the development of Los Angeles,
in the superintendent of the Sunday
school of the Magnolia Avenue Chris
tian church. He grasped the possibil-
tiles and advantages of the new poly
chrome views and adopted a similar
series to The Herald's views as an
attendance reward at his Sunday
school, Mr.. Chapman has become in
tensely interested in The Herald's plan
of distributing these views to its read
ers and expressed the opinion that the
plan OF providing a complete descrip-
ton of each picture was the climax OF
capsheaf of a successful educational
enterprise to be promoted through
strereoscopic views.
Full and complete announcements

to time of the further plans and time
for beginning the distribution of the
stereoscopes and polychrome views

l small classes or tourist parties may b'
; formed for the mutual advantage o
each other and thereby gain much ad
. vantage over following the studie
alone.

g scopic outfits is row on the way from
