the American viewpoint. The school should
also possess good physical wall maps such as the Sydow-Habenicht or
the Kiepert series, both to be obtained from Rand, McNally, and Co.
The text is in German. Phillips's Model Test Maps and Johnston's New
Series of Physical Wall Maps are obtainable from A. J. Nystrom and
Co. The only large charts available are those prepared by MacCoun for
his Historical Geography Charts of Europe. The two sections, "Ancient
and Classical" and "Medieval and Modern," are sold separately (N. Y.,
Silver, Burdett, and Co., $15.00). A helpful series of Blackboard
Outline Maps is issued by J. L. Engle, Beaver, Penn. These are wall
maps, printed with paint on blackboard cloth, for use with an ordinary
crayon. Such maps are also sold by the Denoyer-Geppert Co., Chicago.
OUTLINE MAPS
The "Studies" following each chapter of this book include various
exercises for which small outline maps are required. Such maps are
sold by D. C. Heath and Co., Boston, New York, Chicago. Useful
atlases of outline maps are also to be had of the McKinley Publishing
Co., Philadelphia, Atkinson, Mentzer and Grover, Chicago, W. B.
Harison, New York City, and of other publishers.
ILLUSTRATIONS
The best photographs of ancient works of art must usually be obtained
from the foreign publishers in Naples, Florence, Rome, Munich, Paris,
Athens, and London, or from their American agents. Such photographs,
in the usual size, 8 x 10 inches, sell, unmounted, at from 6 to 8 francs a
dozen. All dealers in lantern slides issue descriptive catalogues of a
great variety of archaeological subjects. In addition to photographs and
lantern slides, a collection of stereoscopic views is very helpful in
giving vividness and interest to instruction in ancient history. An
admirable series of photographs for the stereoscope, including Egypt,
Palestine, Greece, and Italy, is issued by Underwood and Underwood,

New York City. The same firm supplies convenient maps and
handbooks for use in this connection. The Keystone stereographs,
prepared by the Keystone View Company, Meadville, Penn., may also
be cordially recommended. The architecture, costumes, amusements,
and occupations of the Middle Ages in England are shown in
_Longmans' Historical Illustrations_ (six portfolios, each containing
twelve plates in black-and-white, Longmans, Green, and Co., 90 cents,
each portfolio). The same firm issues _Longmans' Historical Wall
Pictures_, consisting of twelve colored pictures from original paintings
illustrating English history (each picture, separately, 80 cents; in a
portfolio, $10.50). Other notable collections are Lehmann's
_Geographical Pictures, Historical Pictures_, and _Types of Nations_,
and Cybulski's Historical Pictures (Chicago, Denoyer-Geppert Co.;
each picture separately mounted on rollers, $1.35 to $2.25). The New
England History Teachers' Association publishes a series of _Authentic
Pictures for Class Room Use_, size 5 x 8 inches, price 3 cents each.
The _Catalogue of the Collection of Historical Material at Simmons
College_, prepared by the New England History Teachers' Association
(2d ed., Boston, 1912, Houghton Mifflin Co., 25 cents), contains an
