GREAT ROUND WORLD,
3 and 5 West 18th Street, . . . . . . New York City.

A great deal is expected of the teachers in our public schools at the present day in the way of keeping the pupils conversant with the political and scientific questions of the day. While this is as it should be, we believe that if parents would look well to the quality of reading-matter placed before their children better results would be obtained from the teachers' efforts in this line. THE GREAT ROUND WORLD, AND WHAT IS GOING ON IN IT, is the name of a newspaper for children, and without exception it is the finest one of its kind ever published. It comes in magazine form, and is overflowing with interesting subjects written in such a bright and yet simple manner that the whole household unwittingly becomes interested in it.--_Omer, Mich., Progress, Jan. 8, 1897._

TWO EASY WAYS
TO GET
"The Great Round World."
* * * * *
=SEND IN YOUR SCHOOL-BOOKS--THE ONES YOU ARE NO LONGER USING.= A great many boys and girls cannot buy new books, and are very glad to get the used copies at a lower price. A list of prices that will be allowed is given in Number 4 of GREAT ROUND WORLD.

* * * * *
AS A =SPECIAL INDUCEMENT=
for our subscribers to interest others in "The Great Round World," we will give to each subscriber who sends us $2.50 to pay for a year's subscription to a new name, a copy of
=Rand, McNally & Co.= =1897 Atlas of the World.=
=160 pages of colored maps from new plates, size 11 1/2 x 14 inches, printed on special paper with marginal index, and well worth its regular price - - - - $2.50.=
Every one has some sort of an atlas, doubtless, but an old atlas is no better than an old directory; countries do not move away, as do people, but they do change and our knowledge of them increases, and this atlas, made in 1897 from =new= plates, is perfect and up to date and covers every point on
=The Great Round World.=
Those not subscribers should secure the subscription of a friend and remit $5 to cover it and their own. A copy of the atlas will be sent to either address.

It is said that the unfortunate Princess Charlotte of Belgium is to be taken over to Mexico, in the hope that a visit to the scenes of her former happiness may restore her reason.
Her story brings back to memory a very sad and interesting page of our modern history.
Princess Charlotte,
