lassified according to the animal from
which they are obtained and the part of the animal from which they are
cut. Suggestions for cooking may be added.

_How we Travel._--Pictures showing vehicles and conveyances of all sorts,
classified as ancient and modern, or according to the countries in which
they are used, or the motive power, as horses, electricity, steam, etc.

In connection with elementary geography and history, booklets and posters
may be made up from pictures cut from discarded papers, catalogs, and
magazines, as well as original drawings. A great variety of topics may be
profitably illustrated in this way. As, for example, land and water forms,
famous mountains, lakes, rivers, etc., products and processes of
cultivation and manufacture, famous people, costumes and customs of other
times and places, utensils and weapons of earlier times.

=Fastenings.=--The simplest method of binding single sheets is by means of
paper fasteners and eyelets. Though these are not expensive, some schools
cannot afford to buy them. Cords may be used in several ways and serve as
part of the decoration.

_The Simple Tie._--Punch three holes in the margin, at least one half inch
from the edge to prevent tearing out. Insert the cord in the middle hole,
carry through one end hole, then through the other end hole, then back
through the middle and tie. (See Fig. 7.)

_Japanese Sewing._--Punch holes at regular intervals, as one inch apart.
Sew through first hole twice, making a loop around the back,--repeat the
process until a loop has been made for each hole,--carry the cord in and
out through the holes back to the starting point, filling in the blank
places and making a continuous line, and tie ends together with a small
knot. (See Fig. 8.)

=Decoration.=--Only the simplest decoration should be attempted. A plain
cover of good color tied with a cord of harmonious color will have
elements of beauty without further decoration. A single border line well
placed may be used and offers opportunity for developing a nice sense of
proportion by studying the results to see which borders are neither too
near the edge nor too far from it.

A well-printed, well-placed title is often the most satisfactory
decoration. Printing should be introduced early, and the children
encouraged to make good plain letters. In order to get the title in good
