WARREN'S GEOGRAPHIES, REVISED AND CORRECTED, CONTAINING CENSUS of 1860, NEW MAPS, RECENT DISCOVERIES and POLITICAL CHANGES down to 1865, Cover the whole ground necessary for a thorough understanding of that too much neglected branch of education. They develop thought, and leave a more lasting impression on the scholar's mind than any other series now published, as the immense sales already made, the continually increasing demand for them, and the united voice of hundreds of teachers now using them, all testify. They have already been introduced into the public schools of many of the largest cities from New England to California, among which are BOSTON, PHILADELPHIA, WASHINGTON, CHICAGO and SACRAMENTO, and the Physical Geography is meeting with heavy sales in CANADA, ENGLAND and GERMANY.

If your BLACKBOARDS are not in good condition, you cannot do better than have them re-coated with EUREKA MUNGER'S LIQUID SLATING. This surface has stood the test of SEVEN YEARS' use, with entire satisfaction. It can be applied to any smooth surface, and is especially useful in renovating old blackboards. It is much more economical than common paint, because it does not need renewing. It is securely put up in air-tight cans, and can be sent to any part of the country by express. When it is wished, we send workmen to apply the slating, and warrant a surface not surpassed by any blackboard in use. Teachers will please not confound the EUREKA LIQUID SLATING with slating known by other names, or manufactured by other persons. For this, like every other really excellent article, has its imitations. But no other slating can produce the perfectly smooth black slate surface of the EUREKA. Blackboards in Frames, per Square Foot 66 " Roll Blackboards, on Cloth, 66 * One quart is sufficient to prepare about fifty square feet of surface. RECOMMENDATIONS. $1.75 3.00 .55 .10 .55 SOUTH BOSTON, May 3, 1865. We have used the Eureka Liquid Slating upon all our blackboards since September, 1864, and I do not hesitate to say that it is superior to the best slabs of slate. C. GOODWIN CLARK, Master, Bigelow Grammar School. BOSTON, May 1, 1865. I am of the opinion that the Eureka Liquid Slating will always give satisfaction, when properly applied. JOHN D. PHILBRICK, Supt. Public Schools. CAMBRIDGE, Oct. 21, 1865. A month or two ago, Mr. Griswold applied the Eureka Slating to all the blackboards in our High School-house, on which we had tried Pierce's slating for a year. I am happy to say that we now have the best blackboards I have ever seen. They are perfect in every desirable quality; being black, smooth, hard, and easily cleaned. All our teachers are much pleased with the change; and I most heartily commend your slating to all in want of a really good blackboard. Truly yours, WILLIAM J. ROLFE, Master of High School. From A. J. NUTTER, Principal Mt. Vernon School, West Roxbury, Mass. Dear Sir: By an advertisement in the Massachusetts Teacher, I learn that you are Agent for Munger's Slated Goods; and as I have had the pleasure of using his blackboard in my schoolroom for more than three years, with perfectly satisfactory results, it is with pleasure that I, though unsolicited, bear testimony to its good qualities. It has steadily improved by use, and I think I may safely say that it is all that the manufacturer promised, or the most sanguine of us expected. Indeed it is, as my assistant teacher said of it a few days since, "good enough." ENGLISH AND CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL, PROVIDENCE, R. I., Oct. 10, 1865. MR. H. J. GRISWOLD: Our blackboards, to which you applied Munger's Eureka Slating in February last, are really excellent. We have never seen better boards than these. The surface is fine, soft, and smooth; the color a dead black, with no reflection, so that a mark can be seen at any angle. Your assurance, that, after a few weeks' use, they would erase with perfect ease, is fully verified. We shall take pleasure in showing our blackboards to all who are interested, and hope your slating may be applied to every blackboard in the State. Very respectfully yours, MOWRY & GOFF.
