EDUCATION. It has been found, in practice, that to instruct visually as well as orally, is by far the most effective method of teaching—seeing a fact illustrated is of great assistance in memorizing it, and in consequence, the use of the Lantern in teaching has become almost universal among all classes—we believe that most of the best-known schools in the United Kingdom, India and the Over- seas Dominions now employ this means of instruction. In our earnest desire to meet this-great demand, we have taken steps to secure* many thousands of new Educational Slides, and are now publishing lists of them in the most comprehensive and exhaustive catalogue everdssUed, Our complete Catalogue of Lantern Slides is now so large that we publishing it in Sections, so that it may be kept yp-to-date rqore con- veniently, and intending customers need only take the Section in which they are interested. The following Sections are now ready, or in course of preparation :— * Newton’s Lantern Slide ;Catalogu/E. - sectiov 1. HEALTH. COMPRISING’ MEDICAL SCIENCE, HYGIENE SOCIAL WELFARE. 2.

The first portion of this Section (9) of our Catalpgue is concerned with Art and Artists, and on the earlier pages, 905 to 936, will be found a list of Slides from the pictures of great Artists, on a scale never before attempted. Though far from exhaustive, this list is the most comprehensive hitherto published, and we are constantly adding to it. By the courtesy of Sir Whitworth Wallis an extremely fine Series of pictures from the Birmingham Art Gallery is now available, together with inter- esting Lecture Notes. The above, with other sets which will be found in the Catalogue, provides* ’ sufficient Slides to enable “ Talks about Famous Artists ” to be given as well as lectures on the different Schools of Painting - / '• A * .'

The works of Charles Dickens have been arranged to occupy several evenings, and most effective lectures can be given by taking the Life of some poet, or other prominent man of letters, such as are mentioned on pages 971 to 977. 'Stories for Children will be founds on pages 982,to TOO©,' many of them delightfully illustrated by such famous artists as to make these sets not only- acceptable to but also highly appreciated by “ children of a larger growth.” • * Temperance subjects are dealt with on pages 1005 to 1010. t -
