by what countries and waters? Mountainous or otherwise? Climate? Minerals? Vege-
table products? Native animals? Earliest known inhabitants, of what color and race?

produced? Past and present religions of the people? What is the nation's chief excel-
lence? Its chief faults or misfortunes? What may our nation learn from this country
by way of warning or example?
A certain reading club began this "Round the World Reading Course" with two
months in Italy. For two weeks the members read books in regard to the political
and social life of ancient and of modern Italy, from Romulus to Garibaldi, one person
being required to prepare a ten-minute sketch of its early political history and another
a longer essay on its modern unification, while yet another, who had visited Italy, de-
scribed, with the aid of pictures and costumes, the past and present social life of the
people. A second fortnight was devoted to Italy's religious history, with short essays
and carefully prepared talks, on the Waldenses, the Roman Catholics, and Savonarola,
- each essay or talk being followed by general conversation. A third fortnight was
devoted to reading Italian literature, and the last to Italian art.

*We have left spaces to index matter the reader may add in the blanks, margins,
and interleaves of this book, and also for indexing sociological matter in the reader's
library, and in other libraries available. We suggest that each of his own bookcases
be referred to by a large figure, with a smaller figure to indicate the shelf, e. g., 44 would
signify fourth shelf in fourth bookcase. As much of the most valuable literature of
this new science of sociology consists of pamphlets and clippings, we suggest a cur-
tained bookcase in which such matter may be sorted by movable manilla card
partitions, as deep as the shelf allows, but not as high by three inches, marked with
the letters of the alphabet in capitals, with vowel cards, a-e-i-o-u, intervening;
... matter on municipal reform would be placed between M and N cards at the right
of the intervening a card, indexing by first letter and first vowel.
