May, 1935 Page 145 Topic: "Owning Your Own Home." (Class:— 7A1). We again traced the progress of a foreigner thru the trials of starting life here, becoming natural- ized, later achieving economic independence and now owning his own home. This privilege we noted was denied to "the masses" in a great many coun- tries. The children decided on a typical home scene ■—a pretty house in the center, surrounded by trees, children playing on the lawn, passers-by noting the friendly atmosphere of genial warmth emanating from the happy home and perhaps the father re- turning home from work being greeted by his wife and children.

GREENE Teacher of Drawing Public School 80, Brooklyn, New York Third Dimension Picture-Books The Animal Kingdom ; The Bird Kingdom ; Foot Print Series. Published by Orthovis Printing Com- pany. Chicago, in cooperation with the Field Museum of Natural History. Pictures of almost unbelievable reality, with true stereoscopic efTect, are produced in these books as single cuts without duplication of space needed to print the conventional stereograph. They no longer deserve the term, "flat pictures." The third dimension is there. Simple light-weight pasteboard "spectacles," with one celluloid eye-piece red, one blue, is held to the eyes. The pictures are printed in blue and red tones, accurately oflf-register. Absorption of color by the eye- pieces produces a blended stereo without color. This most clever application of the color filter is not only interesting but educationally valuable. An orthoscope is furnished with each book, an op- tional type having an extension which rests on the ear and supports the frame. Two cloth-bound books, 10 by 12 inches, have a picture and a paragraph descrip- tion on each page. One deals with The Animal King- dom; the other with the Bird Kingdom. The Foot- print Series is issued in four smaller paper-bound book- lets with more descriptive matter with each view. They are devoted to. The Lion, The Deer, The Bear, and Wild Sheep and Goats. The subjects pictured are stereoscopically photo- graphed from habitat groups in the Field Museum, af- fording an excellent correlation of aids to learning by means of the library and the museum. The plant king- dom and a description of the earth's structure, with the evolution of life, are to be treated later. The Melvina Hoffman anthropological bronzes, recently placed in the Field Museum, are to be illustrated and described in another book during the summer. The manuscript has been written bv Mr. FT. B.
