...series of exciting adventures, not only in the Western section of the United States, but in all parts of the world. It was in 1904 while exploring the northern part of Africa, that Mr. Furlong discovered in Tripoli Harbor the wreck of the United States frigate Philadelphia; sunk there by Lieutenant Decateur just one hundred years before. In 1907 he transferred his explorations from Africa to South America. His scientific explorations during the next three years in Patagonia and Venezuela enabled him to make valuable collec- tions which he later gave to the American Museum of Natural History...

...aside from the question of fees, however, the idea of insuring a child's college education is a most attractive one. At present, parents have to plan on paying the cost of such training out of current income, unless they set aside a definite sum each year to be sunk bodily when the time comes. Often, when it is too late to adopt the latter course, the head of the house discovers that he can no longer count on being able to employ the former. Above all, either expedient is beyond the means of many people who, like the author...
