1.  Write out and learn:  A mountain is land which rises high above the level of the country round about it.  A row of mountains joined together by high ground is called a mountain range or chain.

2.  Write out the following:—­“Some mountains may be called water savings banks.  The rain freezes as it falls and becomes snow.  On very high mountains this snow never melts.  It gets deeper and deeper, and the lower part turns into ice.  This ice creeps slowly down the mountain side until it comes into air that is warm enough to melt it.  The water which flows away from the ice forms a river.  Many large rivers begin in melting ice-fields.”
