THE AMERICAN GEOGRAPHICAL
SOCIETY makes this generous offer to ac-
quaint you with a new kind of home education
hobby — an exciting way for young and old to
learn about the people and lands of our wonderful world.
How You "Visit" a Different Land Bach Month
Each month you receive a set of full-color photographs and
an informative, illustrated guidebook album with spaces
for mounting the prints. By means of these prints and al-
bums, prepared under the guidance of American Geograph-
ical Society experts, you and your family "visit" a different
country every month. You go sightseeing in strange cities.
In quaint little villages you observe native costumes, cus-
toms, and crafts. An expert on the region spins stories of
great battles, national heroes, ancient legends. You pore
over maps showing principal cities, rivers, mountains.
Helps Children in
Later Life, Too!
Here is an educational hobby for the
whole family. It will give your children
a tremendous advantage not only in
school but in later life, in a world where
other countries are only hours away by
air. And you, yourself, will find this an
enjoyable way of planning trips — or
re-living them.
