Building Paper If You Are a School-Boy or school-girl, the new Britannica unfolds for you the wonderful story of the real world as oiily the world's great leaders and thinkers can unfold it. To schdol work it adds now interest by supplementing it with original material not elsewhere accessible. The nexo Britannica tells: What sort of man Lincoln really was (the Britannica's account of his life is by J. Gt Nicolay, Lincoln's private secretary, enriched with the fruits of recent studies of Lincoln's life, by tho American editor of the Britannica). What was Washington's in dignant reply when he was asked to be king. About the last hours of Admiral Nelson, who, when dying of bis wound in the battle of Trafalgar, in the cockpit of the Victory, said: "I have done my duty, thank God for that," About Florence Nightingale, the heroic nurse, wntching at the bed side of wounded soldiers in the Crimea. How Alexander the Great as a boy warrior and dreamer set out to conquer tho world. About types and type-setting, bridge -building, ships and ship building, About any kind of maclune, any invention, about strange lands and peoples; how things are made. About any kind of animal, insect, fish or bird, about the things that are found in the earth or that grow up out of it, about any kind of indoor or outdoor game or sport, by experts, such as Walter Camp, who writes on football. Children read the Britannica because it is the most interesting fact book in. the world. It encourages them to teach them selves. And the Britannica trains for power. It is an educa tion in itself. But you need not be a School-boy or School girl to enjoy the new Encyclopaedia Britannica and to profit by its everyday service as an authoritative question-answerer and illimitable store of good reading. In its 44,000,000 words (the actual equivalent of 440 ordinary volumes compressed into less than 3 ft. of shelf-room) this wonderful library of libraries gives you the essentials of all the knowledge that exists to-day in every field of practical en deavor as well as of learning. The reasonable price of the book with the convenient plan of paying for it in small monthly payments has placed this great efficiency library in the hands of thousands of sub scribers with incomes of the most modest size.
