You who are

will find it decidedly worth your while to tear off the coupon at
the end of this advertisement, fill it in and mail it today. It
will bring to you, absolutely without expense or obligation on
your part, an exquisitely printed volume, The Century Book,
which will prove of the most vital interest to you in connection
with your work. The book is worth having for itself alone, for
it is handsomely illustrated, partly in full color, but its chief
value to you as a teacher is in its description and illustration of
the wonderful scope of The Century Dictionary, Cyclopedia and Atlas.

The possession of a good dictionary and cyclopedia is
practically essential to the man or woman who is engaged in
any phase of educational work. It means a degree of mental
efficiency, which can be gained in no other way.

THE CENTURY

Dictionary, Cyclopedia and Atlas

is the most comprehensive, most authoritative, most thor-
oughly practical general reference work which any teacher
can possess. The new edition, enlarged and revised to include
every phase of the world's progress in the last two decades,
covers the whole field of human knowledge with a concise
comprehensiveness paralleled in no other work of its kind.

When the first edition of The Century was brought out
twenty years ago it was at once recognized as the greatest of
completed English dictionaries. Its editor, Professor William
Dwight Whitney of Yale University was acknowledged the
most eminent philologist of America. And in compiling
The Century he was working for a definite goal. This goal
was to make the work valuable for two things-for the fullness

educators

of its information and for the accessibility of that information.
The result was a wonderfully comprehensive dictionary, cov..
ering its whole field with an encyclopedic treatment of every
possible subject.

The reason for the new enlargement and revision lies in
the marvelous progress made during the past twenty years in
science, in invention, in geographical discoveries and in the
arts. And so to keep The Century in its old position an entire
revision was begun.

This is the

volumes.

of the books.

This revision has been accomplished with the addition of matter amounting to one-fifth of the original work. It represents an expenditure of $250,000 on the part of the publishers. It comprises over 100,000 alterations in the original text and over 100,000 actual additions. It has brought the total number of entries in the Century to over 500,000, ten times more than are contained in the best of other encyclopedias. It has required eight years of systematic and comprehensive work and the expert knowledge of 150 authorities. For this reason the Century stands today as a thoroughly modern and complete spelling, pronouncing and defining dictionary; an unusually scholarly; authoritative and up-to-date cyclopedia; and an exact and broadly informative atlas of the world.

new revision defines,

spells and pronounces 100,000 more words than the
first edition, which in turn defined 120,000 more
than any English dictionary which has preceded it.
Every single word has been subjected to critical ex-
amination.

cent and authentic information on every cyclopedic
subject-history, science, art, geography, biography
and trade-and in addition to this fact it must be re-
membered that the dictionary arrangement permits
of instant access to every detail of this information.

As an atlas

it is one of the most comprehensive works in the world, and the most convenient. The Century treats of nearly every named spot on the surface of the earth, and gives population and other figures according to the last United States and foreign census.

As a book of quotations The Century contains 200,000 more than Bartlett; it differentiates more synonyms than Crabbe; as a classical dictionary it lists more names than Anthon; as a dictionary of authors it gives more names than Allibone; and as a thesaurus it suggests more words than Roget.
