95. Homes of the Races.

People live in nearly every land. Of course
there are many more people in some places
than in others, and we have seen that all do
not look alike.

Most of the black tribes live south of the.
desert of Sahara and in Australia.

The “red men,” or red-brown tribes, are
found in many parts of America.

The people of the brown race make their
homes mainly on the islands southeast of
Asia.

The yellow people live in. the river basins
of Asia and Europe sloping to the Pacific
and Arctic oceans. They are also found
along the Arctic coast of America.

In the Old World the home of the white
race is between the lands of the black and
the yellow races.’

The map will show what parts of America
and Australia are now held by white people.
Page 87 tells about the people of the land
in which we live.

96. Homes of the Nations.

A long time ago Europe was the home of
many tribes of white people. Some tended
their flocks and others tilled the soil.

The tribes often fought for the best lands.
Those that lived on wide plains were open to
attack from all sides. In some places ranges
of mountains and arms of the sea kept the
tribes apart.

Here and there a strong tribe would con-
quer many weak ones, and a single chief
would rule over all. Perhaps he would add
to his land till it reached to the sea, to a
wide river or to a range of mountains.
