to give an opportunity to the state
to bring in testimony as to the value
of the land and also his alleged fail

either do without the land or pay an

FIFTEEN GREAT DEPARTMENTS OF KNOWLEDGE
The Fifteen Great Departments supply the needs and exercise all the faculties of the growing mind.
Natural Science, which lights up nature; delightful history, mechanics and arts; beautiful places to be
seen or dreamed about, adventure, which arrives and brings back a treasure; real people more interesting
than giants and cleverer than faries; things to make and do which delightfully occupy busy hands all
satisfy and stimulate eager young minds. The reason for including every department will be easily
apparent after examining the work.
President John H. Finley, of the College of the City of New York, introduction says:
"Suppose a hoy of ten were to spend fifteen minutes a day reading these pages, ... he would at 13
know more about the earth and the life on it then the wisest men knew a few generations ago."
A WELL-ROUNDED EDUCATION
A well-rounded education cannot be obtained In
the school room alone. The boy or girl whose prog
ress Is the most rapid will almost always be the one
whose reading has been carefully selected at home.
The editors of the BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE have
rendered this great service to childhood. No wise
parent will neglect the opportunity offered by this
work to study the disposition and capabilities of his
child. In many onsen a chilli's life work may be
determined by tho possession of these books.

THE LITERARY DIGEST SAYS OF THE BOOK
OP KXOWLEDGE:
"It is an exhaustive work and a notable example
of editorial skill In the choice of topics and their
treatment. Adults as well as children will be fasci
nated alike by the luminous text and the Illustra
tions. As has already been pointed out in these
columns, one of the uses of such a work would be
to assist parents, their sons and daughters In find

science, mechanics, trade or literature."
