APPLIED ARITHMETICS-The Three Essentials

By N. J. Lennes and Frances Jenkins

The authors have fully appreciated the necessity of making the subject interesting to the child and have consequently been very happy in their choice of illustrations and application of principles to the child's spontaneous interests, thus connecting arithmetic with the activities in which the child is interested and engaged. TEACHERS' EDITIONS-Quite unlike anything you have previously seen, are now ready.

Will Your School Children Be Graded

Properly Next Semester?

PROBABLY no device which has been made for schools

has ever met with the instant response which has been given to group tests of intelligence and achievement. School people have long felt the need for something which would do what the tests are doing. The use of group tests in the army demonstrated to everyone their effectiveness. The Journal of Educational Research says, "We may expect within the next twelve-month several million school children will be tested and the number will rapidly increase from year to year." Present sales for the tests we publish are likely the best indication that the schools are getting results from using them. The demand for them is unheard of. Larger edition after large edition in rapid succession are sold before the printing is finished. Orders come from everywhere, from the largest cities and the smallest country one-room schools. Specimen sets of these tests will be sent postpaid at the prices named: National Intelligence Tests, 50 cents; Otis Group Intelligence Scale, 75 cents; Terman Group Test of Mental Ability, 15 cents; Haggerty Intelligence Examination, 65 cents; Haggerty Reading Examination, 50 cents; Courtis Standard Practice Tests in Arithmetic, $1.50; Wilkins Prognosis Test in Modern Language, 10 cents.

inst issued a booklet, entitled A Brief Treatise on and Measurements (with a list of the d measurements in most general use, and to tests), and we shall be very glad to

TLANTIC CITY is the world's

Taken all the year round, it has no equal. Some European resorts rival it for a limited winter season, but none compares in popularity, comfort, pleasure and health-giving qualities the four seasons through. On Absecon Island, ten miles in length and less than a mile in width, extending nearly due east and west, separated from the mainland by five miles of salt bays and meadows, Atlantic City faces the south. The prevailing southwest breeze of summer comes to it cooled by the ocean, while

in winter its southern exposure and proximity to the Gulf Stream and the protection of the Jersey pine belt insure an equable climate several degrees warmer than nearby New York and Philadelphia.

A

Delightful Climate

COMPARISON of average tem

peratures only suggests the substantial difference between the summer temperatures in Atlantic City and those of the great cities. Long periods of heat and humidity are unknown here. Water on every side makes impossible extremes common elsewhere and creates a climate largely oceanic. In each year of the last 25, the temperature reached 90 degrees on the average on 34 days in St. Louis, 25 in Cincinnati, 22 in Washington, 12 in Pittsburgh, and 15 in Philadelphia. The temperature in Atlantic City reached 90 degrees but twice during the summer months, and seldom remained at that height more than a few minutes. In winter the sweep of the Gulf Stream toward Atlantic City and the surrounding salt water keep up the temperature. The warmth and salt of the air make snowfalls light and soon melt them. The lowest temperatures of our large cities do not occur here. In 30 of 44 years covered by the U. S. Weather Bureau there was no zero temperature in Atlantic City. In the other 14 there was but one day in each in which the temperature was zero or below. In the same 14 years there were 102 such days in Chicago, 26 in St. Louis, 24 in Pittsburgh, 23 in Cincinnati and 21 in Boston. The average number of days in each year in which the maximum temperature has been 32 degrees or lower in Atlantic Sunshine over the City is only 16.

United States averages 50 per cent; in Atlantic City, 61 per cent. There are no fresh water rivers near Atlantic City, and consequently its climate is dry and well nigh free from fog. The sun's rays shine through an atmosphere unpolluted by fog or smoke or dust which absorb the germ-killing violet and ultra-violet rays. Because of this the skin tans more quickly at Atlantic City than inland. These remarkable climatic conditions bring an all-year-round patronage which has developed the largest and most interesting city in the world exclusively devoted to the entertainment of the public.

Its

Hotels and Cottages TLANTIC CITY is a city of hotels, cottages and shops. sole business is to give rest, health and pleasure to all the world. Every day guests are provided with the comfort and elegance of the best metropolitan hotels which possess every modern convenience and luxury. They are handsome structures, built for all-year service. Some cost several million dollars and are of fire-proof construction, have their own water from artesian wells 840 feet deep, and complete electric and refrigerating plants. The public and private bathrooms are generally supplied with hot and cold sea water, and heated sun-parlors are a feature of almost every hotel. The moderate-priced houses supply accommodations of superior excellence and conveniences for the price. Many are always open.

The cottages are adapted to every purse, and many are built for winter use. The more modest rent at a few hundred dollars a season; some parallel the hotels in comfort and luxury. They may be rented fully furnished. Prominent people from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Pittsburgh and elsewhere enjoy the cottage life all or part of the year.

best. The fastest train and the fastest nine trains in the world run to and from Atlantic City. Sleeping cars leave for New York on Sunday nights during several months. The double-tracks of the Pennsylvania and Reading systems are level, stone-ballasted and protected by automatic block signals. The Pennsylvania tunnels under the Hudson connect Broadway with the Boardwalk. The Central Railroad of New Jersey runs through trains from New York over an interesting route. There is highspeed third-rail service from Market Street Wharf, Philadelphia. Trolleys afford interesting excursions to Ventnor, Margate, Longport, Absecon, Pleasantville and Somers Point. The ride across the long trestle to Ocean City is unique.

The Famous Boardwalk

ocean

HE most distinctive feature of Atlantic City is the Boardwalk. extends eight miles along the beach, with practically unobstructed view. In its central portion it is sixty. feet wide, and at no point less than twenty. It is a substantial structure, ten to fifteen feet above the strand, upon piling. It is brilliantly lighted every night in the year. Well patronized at all times, in July, August and September it is thronged. A multitude from all parts of the world finds on the Boardwalk an early spring and relief from the snow and slush of the cities. May and October grow more popular every year. The Easter Sunday parade of more than one hundred thousand people, dressed in the latest styles, is a social pageant of

surpassing interest not found in any other part of the world. Thanksgiving Day, Christmas and New Year's test the capacity of many hotels.

The shops and wheeled chairs are features of the Boardwalk. Visitors, regardless of age, health and sex, are patrons of these chairs, which are open for the bright warm days in spring and autumn, and shaded for the summer, while for convalescents they may be enclosed in glass. The invalid guest may ride from his room into the elevator and out upon the 'Walk. Tracks in the Boardwalk provide smooth riding surface.

Along the land side the shops break the occasional north wind, and are one of the 'Walk's chief charms. Armenia and Syria, China and Japan, Hawaii

and Mexico, Egypt and Turkey, India and Persia, Italy and Scandinavia, Paris. and London, are each represented by shops devoted to its rarest importations. Many more display American creations. Shop windows and auction sales attract the connoisseur and entertain the stroller. Department stores and shops in the center of the city serve visitor and resident. Extending seaward from the Boardwalk are the piers-in all the world the greatest series of piers devoted to recreation. Concerts, theatres, dancing, net hauls and other amusements have added zest over the ocean. Along the Boardwalk are playhouses and much entertainment. Atlantic City enjoys many premiers because of its cosmopolitan audiences. Anyone can find endless diversion in Atlantic City. The saunterer is led on by the bracing air and the resiliency of the Boardwalk, the lure of the ocean, the shops, the amusements and the joy of mingling with the pleasureseekers until he returns with keen appetite and mind refreshed. The Boardwalk is the promenade of the world.

Bathing, Yachting and Fishing HE beach is the most perfect on It is far enough south to have most desirable temperatures for bathing. Fifty thousand bathers are often seen in the surf at one time. For their protection, a beach patrol of 100 trained men is equipped with boats and other apparatus, and directed by an experienced surgeon. Their assistance is

little needed for the beach shelves off gradually without dangerous holes or cross currents. Life lines are unneces

sary.

The smooth bays and thoroughfares between Absecon Island and the main

land are ideal for small sail and power boats, and for crabbing and fishing, while larger yachts quickly find unlimited opportunity on the ocean. A fishing bank seven miles out affords deep-sea fishing. The yacht clubs are headquarters for visiting and local craft. The Inlet yachting fleet, staunchly built and ably manned, at all seasons accommodates the public individually or in parties at moderate rates. The Absecon Lighthouse, the life-saving drills by the United States Coast Guards, and the fishing and oyster fleets are interesting marine features. The clubhouses of the Atlantic City, Chelsea and Ventnor yacht clubs are the scenes of many yachting and social events.
