laced in
the hands of pupils. It is to answer this need that Fairbanks'
CONSERVATION READER has been prepared.

The book touches upon every phase of conservation, but it deals at
greatest length with saving the soil, the forests, and wild life. It
is one of the author's main purposes to arouse a stronger sentiment
for preserving what remains of the forests as well as for extending
their areas. This is because proper forestation will lessen the danger
of floods and of erosion of the soil, and it will encourage the return
of the wild creatures that are of so much economic importance and add
so much to the joy of life.

The matter is presented in an easy narrative style that is calculated
to arouse the intelligent interest of children. The text is
illustrated with photographs of wild animals, trees, landscapes, and
rarely beautiful birds, printed in colors. The subject is timely and
the treatment is happy throughout.

CONSERVATION READER should be used as a reader or as a book for
regular study in every elementary school in the country.

lore and thrilling adventures, culminating in the mountain vigil,
when Kukusim hears the spirit voices which mark the passing of his
childhood. _Illustrated with photographs by the author and drawings by

Theodore Roosevelt once said that Mr. Curtis has caught glimpses, such
as few white men ever catch, into the strange spiritual and mental
life of the Indians. In _In the Land of the Head-Hunters_ these
glimpses are shared with his readers.

The story centers about Motana, the son of the great War Chief. The
mountain vigil, the wooing and w
