These two large volumes, at $5 each, will contain everything that the sixty smaller volumes now contain—not a word will be omitted!

Meanwhile, we have 10,000 sets of the 60-volume edition—60 books in handy pocket size—to sell for $2.98 per set. We are giving the public a final chance to secure this material in this convenient, low- priced form. When these 10,000 sets are gone, the 60-volume edition will be discontinued, and the HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL COURSE will be sold in two large volumes, in different (more expensive) binding, for a total cost of $10 per set.

This is slightly less than five cents per book—can you imagine any book treating, in a text of 15000 words (the total words in each of these books, on the average), a subject like Grammar or Economics or U. S. History, that is not worth five cents? This High School Educational Course, in this 60-volume handy edi- tion, is a bargain of bargains. There is nothing like it anywhere. It is unique in the field of popular edu- cation, The authors of these sixty educa- tional volumes were especially chosen to prepare these works so that the average person may readily assimilate their contents. In spite of the sensationally low cost of these books, they have been written by authorities in their various fields. Some of the writers who have helped to make this High School Educa- tional Course possible are: Professor Carroll Lane Fenton, of the University of Cincinnati; John Cowper Powys, famous lecturer and critic; Joseph McCabe, world fa- mous scholar and author of 180 books; Lawrence A. Barrett, High School instructor of Mathematics; John S. Gambs, High School teacher; Maynard_Shipley, President of the Science League of America; Lloyd E. Smith, former college English as- sistant; Hereward Carrington, New York scientist; J. Geo. Frederick, commercial expert; Dr. Isaac Gold- berg, well known critic; Murray Sheehan, educator and novelis Leo Markun, research student; Nel son Antrim Crawford, well known writer ; larence Darrow, famous lawyer, etc., etc. Thus, it is certain that every one of these books is of outstanding ex- cellence. As a reading course this set cannot be surpassed—for the price of $298 you get 825000 words education and providing mood read- ing at a price within reach of every one’s pocketbook, Amazing as it sounds it is quite true that $2.98 is full ahd final pay- ment for all 60 of the books in this High School Educational Course.
