Something Besides Pedagogy
for
Teachers’ Reading Circles
They will find cultural and inspirational value in the Chautauqua Home Reading Course. Opposed to the unscholarly and over “popular” on the one hand, and to the deadly professional grind and regrind on the other, it is calculated to lead those who follow it “out into a large place.” An orderly, well-balanced, and properly-varied scheme of work for circles or individuals. Four years, covering Classical, British, American, and modern European (continental) subjects, respectively; but each year separate and independent of the others. Authoritative. Based on the experience of thirty years. Approved by the testimony of scores of thousands who have “graduated.” Four books and twelve monthly numbers of The Chautauqua Magazine, $5.
Address Chautauqua Institution, Chautauqua, New York.

THE NEW IMPERIAL
ENCYCLOPEDIA
40 Vols. 28,000 Pages 7,000 Illus.
MADE FOR USE! The distinguishing feature of the Imperial Encyclopedia is its usefulness. It is the result of the closest study of the entire encyclopedia field to ascertain what should constitute a work that would be at once the most useful and useable, as well as the most complete and authoritative reference library possible to make in a single publication. Covering as it does completely the large field occupied by all other Encyclopedias, it introduces many new features not found in any other.
It is the only encyclopedia issued in convenient-sized volumes. Ninety per cent. of the encyclopedias in the homes to-day are rarely used; the great weight and cumbersome size of the volumes are responsible for their lack of use.
“Although possessing three other encyclopedias of great Merit, The Imperial is referred to oftener than any other. To me it is a necessity.”—Rev. John Miller, Roselle, N. J.
It is the only one that includes all dictionary words, with their definitions, pronunciations, derivations, and synonyms, all under a single alphabetical arrangement. It pronounces every title, historical, biographical, geographical, and scientific. It is the only pronouncing encyclopedia.
“I possess five others, but it is to The Imperial that I refer oftener than to all the rest.”—I. T. Cotton, M. D., Charleston, W. Va.
It covers a wider range of topics by hundreds than does the largest of all other encyclopedias. It has had the most careful editorial supervision. Incomparable for information about any word, thing, person, place, or event.
“Meets more fully my idea of a perfect encyclopedia than any other.”—Ferris S. Fitch, Ex-Supt. Public Instruction, Michigan.
Up to date. Having but recently been completed, it contains much information not found elsewhere.
“In all respects answers my expectations—comprehensive, accurate and compact.”—Professor Day, of Yale.
These features belong to The Imperial exclusively; they distinguish it from all others; they mark it as an exceptional production.
