EXPLANATORY 
 
 The Cleveland Public Library furnishes to the Cleveland 
 Public Schools, through the stations in the public school build- 
 ings and through the grade teachers, many thousands of books 
 yearly. In any building where there is no library station, any 
 teacher is at liberty to select fifty books suitable for use in her 
 grade, which will be sent to her school-room by the library 
 and called for at the end of the year. 
 
 The collection of children's books here listed is meant to 
 represent eight such sets of books, one for each of the element- 
 ary grades. The number in each set has not been held strictly 
 to fifty books, the first grade, for instance, containing but 
 twenty-five and the eighth grade more than eighty. In the 
 first and second grades it is desirable to duplicate suitable and 
 attractive books rather than to seek variety at the expense of 
 simplicity and suitability; and in the eighth grade it has seemed 
 wise to give some indispensable handbooks as well as books 
 of pure literature; moreover the interests and the ability of 
 eighth grade classes in different sections are very diverse, and 
 this has been considered in the widely varying degrees of diffi- 
 culty of the subject matter and the many lines of interest ap- 
 pealed to. 
 
 Throughbut the eight grades the idea of progression, not 
 merely general, but specific, has been had in mind; for instance, 
 the fourth grade pupil will read the complete Stevenson's 
 Child's Garden of Verses, with the beautiful Chas. Robinson 
 illustrations in black and white, much more readily if he has had 
 previously the selections from the same in the beautiful and 
 inexpensive Rand, McNally edition with colored pictures. In 
 like manner he will more certainly read Tennyson's Coming of 
 Arthur in the eighth grade if at an earlier time he has been 
 given Mary McLeod's Book of King Arthur. This progres- 
 sion has been carried out, perhaps more fully in the line of 
 Greek literature than anywhere else in this collection. 
 
 The teacher of any given grade will usually find many of 
 the books named for the preceding and the succeeding grade 
 
 ! 48-9 1 ; 
 
equally useful with those listed for her own. The books are 
 for the children's own voluntary reading, and while some books 
 have been placed in every grade which will keep even the bright 
 pupils of that grade at a stretch intellectually, others have been 
 chosen in the belief that even for young children 
 
 "Merely to bask and ripen is sometimes 
 The student's wiser business." 
 
 The compilers have no apologies to offer for the books of 
 fun and humor which appear in every grade. To accustom 
 children to laugh in the right place and humanly is a very high 
 achievement. 
 
 The two who have worked together on this list have had 
 much experience in work with children, the one in the school- 
 room and the other as children's librarian, and it is hoped that 
 their fellow-laborers along these lines may find something of 
 interest in this record of their conclusions.

 tions, many of them in colors, are especially beautiful. 
 
 Arnold, S. L., and Gilbert, C. B. Stepping Stones to Litera- 
 ture ; a First Reader. Silver 30 
 
 This little first reader is very attractive in its wild-rose 
 cover and with its beautiful pictures. 
 
 Baldwin, James. School Reading by Grades; First Year. 
 Am. Bk. Co 25 
 
 Baldwin's first reader is perhaps a trifle more difficult 
 than Miss Arnold's first book. Children in the lower 
 grades very often choose a school-reader for their own 
 reading in preference to other books.

 Magpie. Supplementary Readers. Longmans 15

 The illustrations in color, which are very numerous 
 and beautiful, make this as valuable for a picture book 
 as for a school reader. 
 
 Caldecott, Randolph. The Hey-Diddle-Diddle Picture 
 
 Book. Warne $1.25

 A first reading book for children, including selections 
 from Stevenson and others to be read to them. 
 
 Mother Goose. DeWolfe $1.25 
 
 A very good edition of Mother Goose, with beau- 
 - tiful and delicately-colored pictures. There is a ques- 
 tion whether the grotesque and highly vigorous Ten- 
 niel illustrations do not more trulv represent the spirit 
 of Mother Goose, but there is no doubt that a child will 
 gain much in taste as well as in pleasure by the much 
 poring over this book which he is sure to do if he has 
 an opportunity. 
 
 One, Two, Three, Four. Picture Book. Warne. Untear- 
 able 65

 trated in color.

 long for having in his hands a book of such wealth of 
 beauty in illustration and such taste in selection of 
 story and verse.

 Andrews, Jane. Stories Mother Nature Told. Ginn 50 
 
 Miss Andrews' books were the pioneers of the great 
 crowd of present-day nature-books for young children,

 interest with their successors. Amber, coal, the work of

Blaisdell, E. A. and M. F. Child Life in Literature. Mac- 
 millan • • 60 
 
 Stories about children, selected with excellent judgment 
 from the best writers. They can hardly fail to serve 
 their purpose of making the children wish to know more 
 of the books from which they are taken. The outward 
 form of the book, including type and illustrations, is all 
 that could be desired. 
 
 Blumenthal, V. X. K. de. Folk Tales from the Russian. 
 Rand • • 40 
 
 Full of the elemental strength of a half-barbarous peo- 
 ple, and having much of the repetition which children 
 love.

 You'd better hold your head erect! 
 
 I'll think it is a Goop I see 
 Who is afraid to look at me."

 finally finds himself curled up in the big easy chair 
 with his dear old grandmother bending over him and 
 saying gently, "Davy! Davy! Come and have some 
 dinner, my dear!" 
 
 Clarke, M. C. Uncle, Peep, and I. Little $1.00 
 
 A wholesome old-fashioned book, which deals in doings 
 and not in reflections. 
 
 Coolidge, Susan. Nine Little Goslings. Little. $1.25

 nine stories, and very charming "little geese" they are. 
 
 Cox, Palmer, Brownies Around the World. Centurv Co.. $1.50

 than ever in their new experiences.

Crane, Walter. Beauty and the Beast. Lane $1.25 
 
 Contains also The Frog Prince and The Hind in the 
 Wood. The Crane illustrations are wonderfully expres- 
 sive and exquisite in coloring, and while they may be 
 somewhat complicated in detail for very young chil- 
 dren, the are among the most artistic picture books 
 published. 
 
 Dodge, M. M. Rhymes and -Jingles. Scribner $1.50 
 
 Verses of various grades of difficulty, and both grave 
 and gay. They have won childish favor for thirty years, 
 and show no signs of losing it. 
 
 Dodgson, Chas. (Lewis Carroll, pseud.). Alice in Wonder- 
 land. Macmillan $1.00 
 
 "Alice" is nonsense, pure and simple — and delightful. It 
 cannot be interpreted; it has no moral. 
 
 Eggleston, Edward. First Book in American History. Am. 
 Bk. Co 60 
 
 Its red, white and blue cover, its beautiful illustrations, 
 its choice of subjects, the turn of its phrases — every- 
 thing about this book — leads the child to enjoy it. Its 
 method is in the main biographical, the book consisting 
 mostly of stories of Columbus, John Smith, Miles 
 Standish, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, and 
 other heroes of history. 
 
 Eggleston, Edward. Stories of American Life and Adven- 
 ture. Am. Bk. Co 50 
 
 Stories of Indian life, of frontier peril and escape, ad- 
 ventures with the pirates and kidnappers of colonial 
 times, that appeal to boys and introduce national his- 
 tory. 
 
 Francillon, R. E. Gods and Heroes. Ginn 40 
 
 The writer himself says that the "Mythology adopted 
 throughout is strictly of the old-fashioned kind which 
 goes to Ovid as its leading authority, and ignores the 
 difference between the gods of Greece and the gods of 
 Rome." For one who is not an authority on the sub- 
 ject it is only possible to say that the stories are enter- 
 taining and well written. 
 
 Hale, L. P. The Peterkin Papers. Houghton $1.50 
 
 One of the few really good humorous books for chil- 
 dren. "The Lady from Philadelphia," who solves all 
 ' the Peterkin family problems, was long ago accepted 
 as the impersonation of plain common-sense. 
 
 Hall, Jennie. Four Old Greeks. Rand $1.08 
 
 One who is inclined to question the freedom of render- 
 ing of these stories of Achilles, Herakles, Dionysos, and 
 Alkestis is likely to be won in the end by Miss Hall's 
 truth to Greek thought and feeling.

Hays, Mrs. W. J. Prince Lazybones, and Other Stories. 
 Harper Co 
 
 Prince Lazybones is, as its name suggests, a moral tale. 
 Through the aid of the elves Prince Lazybones, through 
 a varied experience, earns the name of Prince Leo 
 Sans Lazybones. The second story, in spite of its title, 
 Phil's Fairies, is full of human interest and helpfulness. 
 The other two are Christmas stories. 
 
 IngersoU, Ernest. The Ice Queen. Harper 60 
 
 The story of the adventures of three boys and a girl 
 who make their way on the ice from their home in 
 Pennsylvania to friends in Cleveland. 
 
 Jewett, S. O. Play Days. Houghton $1.50 
 
 This little book for little girls, has all the quiet charm 
 of Miss Jewett's books for older people. The author 
 has a great gift for making the fine and beautiful things 
 which lie at the heart of everyday life stand forth in 
 their truj colors, and making simple pleasures seem 
 very pleasant. 
 
 Jones, L. H. Fourth Reader. Ginn 65 
 
 Selections especially fitted to interest in worthy life and 
 worthy literature. 
 
 Kipling, Rudyard. Just So Stories. Doubleday $1.20 
 
 This is an attempt to satisfy, by explanations based 
 wholly on the author's imagination, "the person small" 
 who sends "abroad on her own affairs, from the second 
 she opens her eyes, one million Hows, two million 
 Wheres and seven million Whys." The stories answer 
 fully and satisfactorily such questions as How the 
 Camel Got His Hump, How the Rhinoceros Got His 
 Skin, etc., etc. 
 
 Lorenzini, Carlo (Cramp, trans.). Adventures of Pinoc- 
 chio. Ginn 40 
 
 A caotivating Italian child story, half fairy-tale, half 
 moral allegory. Pinocchio, the wooden puppet made 
 by Geppetto, the wood carver, is hindered in his ambi- 
 tion to become a real boy by his faults of laziness, un- 
 truthfulness, etc., and he passes through most sur- 
 prising adventures and brings much sorrow to his 
 "papa" before the happy realization of his desire. 
 
 Morley, M. W. Bee People. McClurg $1.25 
 
 One of the most successful nature-books ever written 
 for children. If it were possible to misunderstand the 
 clear and forcible account of Miss Apis' ways, manners, 
 and personal peculiarities, the author's beautiful draw- 
 ings would make this impossible. Miss Morley com- 
 bines very happily the playfulness in which children 
 delight with serious instruction.

Morrison. Songs and Rhymes for the Little Ones. Put- 
 nam $1.50 
 
 Simple poems, mostly narrative, which appeal to chil- 
 dren and which help to fill the gap between the Mother 
 Goose Rhymes and the great poets. 
 
 Mulock, D. M. Little Lame Prince. Heath 30 
 
 The story of Prince Dolor of Nomansland who floated 
 out of Hopeless Tower on the wonderful traveling cloak 
 of Imagination. x\n allegorical tale teaching patience 
 and true kingship. 
 
 Newell, Peter. Toosys and Turveys. Century $1.00 
 
 Very clever colored pictures with brief rhymed expla- 
 nations. The pictures held rio-ht side up tell quite a 
 different story than when viewed from an inverted posi- 
 tion. 
 
 Norton, C. E., ed. Heart of Oak Books, No. 3. Heath.. .45 
 
 Fairy tales, ballads, and poems. The selections in this 
 book are "for the most part pieces already familiar and 
 long accepted as among the best wherever the English 
 language is spoken." They grow fresher by custom; 
 and the love of them deepens in proportion to the time 
 we have known them, and to the memories with which 
 they have become invested. 
 
 Otis, James. Mr. Stubbs* Brother. Harper 60 
 
 The further adventures of Toby Tyler, to whom the 
 death of his friend, Mr. Stubbs, the monkey, brought 
 such grief, are here set forth. 
 
 Otis, James. Toby Tyler. Harper 60 
 
 Toby Tyler, ten years old, runs away with a circus, as 
 many another boy has wished to do. While the story 
 is most interesting and pleasantly exciting to young 
 readers it is genuinely wholesome.

 This is the story of the Snow-Baby's return to the 
 frozen North and of the friends she made there. 
 
 Pollard, Josephine. History of the United States. Mc- 
 Loughlin $1.00 
 
 "A tale in short words for small folk of the way our 
 land grew." Large type. 
 
 Pollard, Josephine. Life of Washington. McLoughlin $1.00 
 
 Valuable, especially for the fact that it is very easy to 
 read. The children are very early anxious for books 
 about Washington, but become discouraged at their dif- 
 ficulties. 
 
 Prince Darling, and Other Stories. Supplementary Readers. 
 Longmans 40 
 
 A delightful little book which even the slow child can 
 read quite through. 
 
 If)

 next and make each enjoyable. 
 
 Richards, L. E. Quicksilver Sue. Century $1.00

 plain old friends is best after all. 
 
 St. Nicholas Christmas Book. Century $1.50

 North, including their play, work, and adventures. 
 
 Scudder, H. E. Fables and Folk Stories. Houghton 40 
 
 One of the most satisfactory collections ever made, and 
 a literary model. 
 
 Sewell, Anna. Black Beauty. Lothrop $1.00 
 
 This "Uncle Tom's Cabin of the horse," as it has been 
 called, has already done much to do away with that evil 
 which is wrought by want of thought, and it still has a 
 great work to do. Black Beauty is as real to many chil- 
 dren as any member of their family. 
 
 Smith, M. P. W. Jolly Good Times. Little $1.25 
 
 Child-life on a Massachusetts farm, simple, wholesome, 
 delightful, is here pictured. In spite of some lack of 
 literary finish in the style, the plain people in this story, 
 children and grown folks, have something of the dignity 
 of those in Whittier's Snow Bound. Aaron, the hired 
 man, with his true Indian stories, is an important ad- 
 junct to the "jolly good times" of the children. "Any- 
 one would know only to look at Aaron on Sundays that 
 he belonged to the minister's Bible class and had money 
 in the bank." 
 
 Spyri, Johanna (Dole, Tr.). Heidi. Ginn 40 
 
 A delightful story of child life on the mountains of 
 Switzerland. Its chief charm lies in the author's har- 
 monious pictures of the child Heidi and the out-of- 
 door life about her. 
 
 Stoddard, W. O. Two Arrows. Harper 60 
 
 One of the few really good Indian stories, and one that 
 makes a strong plea for the education of the Indian. 
 
 17 
 
Stwin, Adam. Eyes Right. Lothrop $1.25 
 
 The story of how Johnny and Fred found out things by 
 keeping their "eyes right" is entertaining as well as in- 
 structive, and is pretty sure to stimulate boys and girls 
 to follow their example. 
 
 Swift, Johathan (Scudder, ed.). Gulliver's Travels. Hough- 
 ton 60 
 
 The Voyages to Lilliput and Brobdingnag. 
 
 White, E. O. When Molly Was Six. Houghton $1.00 
 
 When Molly was six she had as good a time with her 
 dollies and her cats, her brother and her friends, as any 
 little girl of six who is herself as sweet as a red, red 
 rose possibly can have, and any little girl who reads 
 the story will feel as if she had been in these good times 
 herself. 
 
 White, S. E. The Magic Forest. Macmillan $1.20 
 
 A delicate, coddled little nine-year-old boy who in spite 
 of his delicacy loves "God's great house of out-of- 
 doors" better than anything else, in a somnambulistic 
 sleep walks off the train on which he is being taken a 
 journey for his health into a Canadian forest where he 
 spends the year among the Indians. The book has great 
 charm of style, and is beautifully printed and illustrated.

 diate. Am. Bk. Co 28

 raculous Pitcher from Hawthorne, Rip Van Winkle, a

 look $1.20

 Ginn 45 
 
 "Again and again do boys who have whole libraries at 
 their disposal turn from new books to find in the Swiss 
 Family healthful delight in legitimate adventure, and a 
 stimulus to invention in the ready use of ways and 
 means, which characterized the lives of the Swiss Rob- 
 inson's — Preface. 
 
 Zitkala-Sa. Old Indian Legends. Ginn 50 
 
 Legends of the Dakotah Indians "retold for blue eyed 
 little patriots by one who heard them as a little black 
 haired aborigine." The book is well illustrated by the 
 Indian artist Angel DeCora.

FIFTH GRADE 
 
 Alcott, L. M. Eight Cousins. Little $1.50 
 
 The story is that of a little orphan girl who comes to 
 live under the direction of a kind and wise uncle in the 
 immediate neighborhood of a crowd of boy-cousins with 
 whom she makes friends very shortly. Like most of 
 Miss Alcott's books it will interest and benefit any boy 
 or girl who is able to read it; but it is best adapted to 
 the same age as Little Men. 
 
 Alcott, L. M. Little Men. Little $1.50 
 
 Little Men, it is safe to say, has done as much to make 
 boys and girls good as any story that ever was written. 
 It is simply impossible to live at Plumfield with Jo's 
 boys and not wish to be honest and kind and gentle. 
 
 Andersen, Hans (Scudder, ed.). Stories. Houghton 40 
 
 Andersen's' stories are like no others that ever were 
 written. He remained a child all his life long, and a 
 child with a poet's soul, and so never grew blind to the 
 heaven that lies about us in our infancy. No better se- 
 lection from his stories has been made. 
 
 Arabian Nights. Houghton 40 
 
 These splendors of the opulent East are part of the 
 heritage of every child; Sindbad's gems and jewels, Ali 
 Baba's treasure chamber, Aladdin's cave — how poor 
 would childhood be without them! And the good Caliph, 
 Haroun-al-Rashid. Commander of the Faithful — who 
 that has wandered through the midnight streets of 
 Bagdad with him can ever forget the romance and won- 
 der of it? This collection of thirteen of the best of the 
 stories is carefully edited. 
 
 Baldwin, James. Old Grreek Stories. Am. Bk. Co 40 
 
 Any child who grows up knowing nothing of the old 
 Greek stories suffers a great lack, for all great thought 
 is largely Greek in its origin. This is one of the most 
 pleasing of the simpler versions of these tales. 
 
 Baylor, F. C. Juan and Juanita. Houghton $1.50 
 
 The story of the capture of two little Mexican children 
 by Indians, their escape and journey of three hundred 
 miles before being restored to their mother. Incident- 
 ally, much information in regard to both Indian and 
 Mexican life is given. 
 
 Brooks, E. S. True Story of George Washington. Lothrop.$i.5o 
 
 The story of Washington is one with which children 
 grow familiar in the earliest years of their school life, 
 uut it is rare good fortune to find a book in which the, 
 story is told for young children's own reading with dig- 
 nity and propriety and which at the same time has re- 
 gard for the childish point of view. Such a book is the 
 one noted here. 
 
 19 
 
Brooks, Noah. Boy Settlers. Scribner $1.25 
 
 Early times in Kansas told as a story of adventure for 
 boys. 
 
 "We cross the prairie as of old 
 The Pilgrims crossed the sea, 
 To make the West, as they the East, 
 The homestead of the free!" 
 
 Brown, A. F. In the Days of Giants. Houghton $1.10 
 
 Strength and the joy of life ever marked the doings of 
 the old Norse gods and heroes. It is these qualities 
 also, in persons or in books, which attract children, and 
 they are to be found in this book of tales from the 
 Norse mythology. • 
 
 Burnett, F. H. Sara Crewe. Scribner $1.00 
 
 The happenings of this story are quite unreal, and Sara 
 is, to say the least, a very unusual little girl; but the 
 ideals of the story are those of gentle breeding and 
 courage, and the story is intensely interesting. 
 
 Carpenter, F. G. North America; Geographical Reader. 
 Am. Bk. Co , 60 
 
 Just the information which the intelligent boy or girl 
 wants in regard to his own country, its cities, people, 
 products and marvels of natural scenery. 
 
 Carpenter, * F. G. South America; Geographical Reader. 
 Am. Bk. Co 60 
 
 Mr. Carpenter has a genius for selecting the essentials 
 of a scene or a situation and putting them before the 
 reader clearly and pleasingly. 
 
 Cary, Alice and Phoebe. Ballads for Little Folks. Hough- 
 ton $1.50 
 
 Very many of these verses teach lessons of tenderness, 
 kindness, and other virtues essential to good manhood 
 and womanhood. The playfulness which marks some of 
 them adds to the child's appreciation of them. 
 
 Coolidge, Susan. What Katy Did. Little $1.25 
 
 The story of a careless, happy, active little girl, who 
 gets hurt in a fail from a swing and has to learn some 
 hard lessons of patience and endurance. Everything 
 comes out right in the end, however. 
 
 Diaz A. M. The William Henry Letters. Lothrop $1.00 
 
 Freckles, red hair, and a quick temper are William Hen- 
 ry's failings, but they weigh little against honesty, 
 truthfulness and loyalty. The former makes his heart 
 sore many times, but the latter wins the love of his 
 schoolmates and make glad the home to which his let- 
 ters go. 
 
Dodgson, Rev. Chas. (Lewis Carroll, pseud.). Through the 
 Looking Glass. Macmillan $i.oo 
 
 A continuation of Alice in Wonderland and equally 
 delisrhtful. 
 
 Edgeworth, Maria (M. V. O'Shea, ed.). Waste Not, Want 
 Not. Heath 20 
 
 "In our teaching there must be nine parts story and one 
 part instruction, and then the kernel of moral truth will 
 be assimilated with the rest. The stories in this volume 
 have been selected in view of these principles. They 
 severally aim to develop an appreciation of the value of 
 thrift, frankness, genuineness, and many kindred virtues 
 in all the affairs of daily life; and they seek to accom- 
 plish this by presenting to the young lively scenes 
 wherein interesting people or objects are the actors." — 
 M. V. O'Shea. 
 
 Ewing, Juliana. Story of a Short Life. Heath 20 
 
 A pathetic and yet a courage-inspiring story of a boy 
 who fought a battle "a kingly crown to gain." 
 
 Foa, Eugenie. Boy Life of Napoleon. Lothrop $1.25 
 
 A pleasing introduction to the life of Napoleon, trans- 
 lated and adapted from the French of Mme. Foa by 
 Elbridge S. Brooks. 
 
 Gale, A. C. Achilles and Hector. Rand 45 
 
 The story of the Iliad worthily retold. The boy may 
 well learn from it, as the author in her fine brief preface 
 suggests, "that a hero is able and willing to do more 
 and get less for it than other people." 
 
 Gladden, Washington. Santa Claus on a Lark. Century $1.25 
 
 Contains also: A Christmas Dinner with the Man in 
 the Moon, Tom Noble's Christmas, Strange Adventures 
 of a Wood-Sled, An Angel in an Ulster, Mr. Haliburton 
 Todd's Eurprise Party, Emil's Christmas (jift, Santa 
 Claus in the Pulpit, 
 
 Harris, J. C. (Frost, il.). Uncle Remus: His Songs and 
 His Sayins:s. Appleton $2.00 
 
 Mr. Frost has proved himself a second Uncle Remus in 
 the way in which he has interpreted these ever de- 
 lightful stories of Brer Fox, Brer Rabbit, Brer Bar,. 
 Lrer Wolf and their kin. His pictures tell the stories 
 even to the children who cannot read the text. Thi% 
 volume also contains many old plantation songs. .. - v 
 
 21 
 
Howells, W. D. Christmas Every Day and Other Stories. 
 
 Harper $1.25 
 
 The book consists of stories in a story. Much of the 
 humor with which readers of Howell's novels are fa- 
 miliar appears here in a form to be appreciated by the 
 children. 
 
 Humphrey, F. A. How New England was Made. Lothrop $1.25 
 
 While some of the chapters, notably that headed "The 
 Declaration of Independence," are unsatisfactory, 
 there are others like the chapter called "How They 
 Lived," which are very valuable. The type is large and 
 the style readable. 
 
 Ker, David. Into Unknown Seas. Harper $i.oo 
 
 The subject of the story is the always fascinatmg one 
 of search for ancient treasure, which in this case takes 
 place under a brave and manly leader. 
 
 Lang, Andrew, ed. Animal Story-Book Reader. Longmans .50 
 Good selections from "The Animal Story-Book" and 
 "The Red Book of Animal Stories." This smaller vol- 
 ume in larger type will be much more popular with the 
 children. 
 
 Lear, Edmund, The Book of Nonsense. Warne $2.00 
 
 "The most innocent and beneficent of books," was 
 what John Ruskin said in regard to Mr. Lear's non- 
 sense books. They absolutely defy the person who in- 
 sists upon finding instruction in all imaginative litera- 
 ture. 
 
 Long, W. J. Ways of Wood Folk. Ginn 50 
 
 Foxes, rabbits, bears and birds are Mr. Long's familiar 
 friends, and it is a strange child who does not find 
 them rapidly becoming his own as he reads. 
 
 Miller, O. T., First Book of Birds. Houghton $1.00 
 
 Mrs. Miller in this book makes children very pleasantly 
 acquainted with many facts in regard to the baby bird's 
 home and education, the way the bird travels, sleeps 
 and changes his clothes, the peculiarities of his beak, 
 tongue, eyes, ears, etc., and the way he works for us. 
 
 Moulton, Mrs. L. C. More Bed-Time Stories. Little $1.25 
 
 These stories are somewhat old-fashioned and teach 
 their lessons quite openly, but they have also the good 
 old qualities that should never go out of fashion of re- 
 finement, delicacy, and choice English. 
 
 Otis, James. Silent Pete. Harper 60 
 
 The story of a gentle music-loving boy and his sturdy, 
 generous friend who go from New Orleans to New 
 York as stowaways in search of the former's aunt. 
 
 22 
 
Page, T. N. Two Little Confederates. Scribner $1.50 
 
 The story of the life of two little boys on a Virginia 
 plantation during the civil war. 
 
 Putnam, M. L. Children's life of Abraham Lincoln. Mc- 
 Clurg $1.25 
 
 No other character in American history rouses as in- 
 tense interest in children as does that of Abraham Lin- 
 coln. While the language of this life is somewhat diffi- 
 cult at times, this interest will enable the children to 
 master it. 
 
 Pyle, Howard. Merry Adventures of Robin Hood. Scrib- 
 ner 50 
 
 So fully is this book expressive of the hardy and joy- 
 ous spirit of adventure of the jolly outlaws of Sherwood 
 Forest, that the reader almost feels that he himself has 
 dressed in Lincoln green, eaten venison pastry with 
 Friar Tuck, wielded a quarter-staff with stout Little 
 John, and attended Maid Marian's wedding with bold 
 Robin Hood. And, be assured, he has taken no harm 
 from their companionship; honor and justice and kindli- 
 ness are laws observed by them and higher than any on 
 the King's statute-book. Wherever possible the three- 
 dollar edition with Mr. Pyle's own illustrations should 
 be used. 
 
 Pyle, Howard. The Wonder Clock. Harper $2.00 
 
 When Howard Pyle "puts on his dream-cap" and "steps 
 into Wonderland," then indeed one may look for things 
 to happen, but even for him they never happened faster 
 and better than in these "four and twenty marvelous 
 tales, one for each hour of the day." 
 
 Rand, W. B. (Chas. Robinson, il.). Lilliput Lyrics, Lane.. $1.50 
 
 "They made the Old Folks come to school 
 And in pinafores — that was the rule. 
 
 They made them learn all sorts of things 
 That nobody liked. They had catechisings; 
 They kept them in, they sent them down 
 In class, in school, in Lilliput town." 
 
 Scudder, H. E. Book of Legends. Houghton 25 
 
 Old legends which make such a direct appeal to human 
 nature that they have become a part of the world's 
 literature. Contains: 
 
 St. George and the Dragon, 
 
 King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid, 
 
 The Legend of St. Christopher, 
 
 The Flying Dutchman,

 poems in the English language." 
 Especially recommended for all grades. 
 
 Seton, Ernest Thompson. Lobo, Rag, and Vixen. Scribner .50 
 
 Lobo, Redruff, Raggylug and Vixen, from Wild Ani- 
 mals I Have Known, 
 
 Stevenson, R. L. (Chas. Robinson, il.). Child's Garden of 
 Verses. Scribner $1.50 
 
 About half of Stevenson's Verses are those which or- 
 dinary children will enjoy, for themselves, as for in- 
 stance. My Shadow and The Wind, but the rest of 
 them express the thoughts and feelings of the deeply 
 imaginative child only. They are, however, so fine and 
 rich that it is worth while taking pains to teach the 
 children to love them. The Rand, McNally edition of 
 the Child's Garden (second grade) might be called the 
 beginner's edition. 
 
 Stockton, F. R. (Burt, ed.). Fanciful Tales. Scribner 50 
 
 Marked by the best of Stockton's qualities, delicacy of 
 fancy, gentle but extremely amusing humor, and inter- 
 est of story.

Wade, M. H. Our Little Japanese Cousin. Page 60 
 
 Lotus Blossom and her little brother Toyo are typical 
 children rather than individual children, but Japanese 
 life is made much clearer and more interesting than 
 it could oe in any purely impersonal description. 
 
 Wide World. Geographical Reader: Youth's Companion 
 
 Series. Ginn • 25

 Alcott, L. M. Jack and Jill. Little.. $1.50 
 
 Jack is a rich little boy, Jill is a poor little girl, and 
 they are friends. In a coasting accident both are in- 
 jured. They have a long, trying time of sickness, es- 
 pecially Jill, before they regain health, and the story

 the possibility of hearty, sensible boy-and-girl friend- 
 ship.

 tions. They are classed under Sentiment and Story,

 To the three little tyrants I told." 
 
 Brackett, A. C. and Eliot, I. M., eds. Poetry for Home and 
 School. Putnam $1.25 
 
 One of the most practical single book collections of 
 poetry for children yet made. The child of any grade 
 from the third upward will find something good for his 
 own reading. The poems for younger children come 
 first in the book, and the difficulty grows by easy grada- 
 tions until poems of a serious reflective nature are 
 reached. 
 
 Brooks, E. S. True Story of Abraham Lincoln. Lothrop.$i.5o 
 
 No character in American history takes such a vital hold 
 on the aflFections of quite young children as that of 
 Abraham Lincoln, and the author has shown unusual 
 skill in presenting it truly yet with due regard for the 
 limits of the child-reader.

Carpenter, F. G. Asia; Geographical Reader. Am. Bk. Co. .60 
 
 L^he standard of excellence in this author's books is 
 very high. He never makes the mistake of depending 
 upon the exceptional and the accidental to give inter- 
 est to his writings. Any child who has an opportunity 
 will read this book, and having done so he will be bet- 
 ter informed than the majority of grown people in re- 
 gard to the most important facts about Asia. 
 
 Carpenter, F. G. Australasia, Our Colonies and Other 
 Islands of the Sea; Geographical Reader. Am. Bk. Co.. . .60 
 
 This latest of this valuable series falls in no respect 
 below its predecessors and is particularly useful in its 
 treatment of our new possessions. 
 
 Carpenter, F. G. Europe; Geographical Reader. Am. Bk. 
 Co 70 
 
 Mr Carpenter has not only made a wise selection of 
 subjects, but he knows how to write for children, so 
 that his geographical readers are not dry text-books, 
 but interesting reading. 
 
 Champlin, J. H., and Bostwick, A. E. Young Folks* Cyclo- 
 paedia of Games and Sports. Holt $2.50 
 
 A veritable treasure-house of pleasant knowledge. It 
 should be in every school-room. The play instinct in 
 children, like all good instincts, needs to be cultivated 
 and developed, and this book will prove a great aid in 
 doing this. Golf, football, baseball, tennis, etc., are 
 fully treated, as well as thousands of simpler sports. 
 Many simple chemical and physical experiments are 
 given as play which are also valuable for instruction. 
 
 Coolidge, Susan. What Katy Did at School. Little $1.2;, 
 
 A good story of boarding-school life. The inevitable 
 mischief is funny, clever, and not malicious, while the 
 high ideals and gentle breeding of Katy and Clover 
 Carr are very winning. 
 
 Cotes, Mrs. E. Story of Sonny Sahib. Appleton $1.00 
 
 The mother of a little English baby born in India at 
 the time of the mutiny dies, and the child, who is sup- 
 posed by his father, an army officer, to have been 
 killed, grows up among the natives tenderly cared for 
 by his nurse. The story concerns itself with the way 
 in which the boy comes to the court of the Maharajah, 
 his loyalty to his native friends when his own life seems 
 to depend upon his betraying them, and the effect of 
 his conduct upon his future life. 
 
 27 
 
Dana, Mrs. W. S. Plants and Their Children. Am. Bk. Co. .65 
 
 To write a book about plants which is interesting to 
 children is a most difficult task. Mrs. Dana has had a 
 far greater degree of success than has fallen to the lot 
 of most writers who have undertaken it. It is as read- 
 able as a book of information can well be made, and it 
 is hardly too much to call its style charming. 
 
 Davis, Mrs. R. H. Kent Hampden. Scribner $1.00 
 
 Kent Hampden's father is suspected of having stolen 
 a large sum of money and Kent sets himself to clear up 
 the mystery. The story is located in West Virginia, 
 or as it then was, Virginia. 
 
 Defoe, Daniel. Robinson Crusoe. Macmillan $1.25 
 
 Dodge, M. M. Hans Brinker. Scribner $1.50 
 
 Dutch patience, loyalty, and steadfastness stand out 
 clearly in this story, as well as the externals of Dutch 
 landscape and society. Through many hardships Hans, 
 Gretel, their brave mother and their injured father 
 come to good fortune and happiness. 
 
 Ewing, Mrs. J. H. Jackanapes. Houghton 25 
 
 A most artistic story, presenting one of the noblest 
 heroes in child-fiction. The deep pathos brings tears 
 to the eyes, but it is relieved by tender humor and 
 dainty sentiment. 
 
 Goss, W. L. Jed. Crowell $1.50 
 
 A story of a boy's adventures in the Civil War. 
 
 Green, Homer. Blind Brother. Crowell 50 
 
 A story of the Pennsylvania coal mines. It tells of a 
 boy's eager self-sacrifice in the hope of gaining for his 
 brother the blessing of sight, of his sore temptation 
 and how he met it, and closely interwoven with his 
 story is that of a man who does a great wrong and 
 nobly atones for it. The story is well written. 
 
 Harris, J. C. Aaron in the Wild Woods. Houghton $2.00 
 
 Aaron, the runaway slave, the wonderful Grey Pony, 
 and Little Crotchet, the cripple, his master, with his 
 sad, sweet eerie laugnter and his dear-bought under- 
 standing of human suffering, the swamp and its myste- 
 ries — the reader, child or man, who fails to feel himself 
 wiser and better for knowing these, is to be pitied. 
 
 Hawthorne, Nathaniel. Wonder-book and Tanglewood 
 Tales. Houghton 70 
 
 Hawthorne's beautiful retelling of the classical myths, 
 with the addition of some of his own quaint fancies, is 
 so well known as scarcely to need remark. 
 
 28 
 
Hayes, I. I. Cast away in the Cold. Lee $1.00 
 
 "An old man's story of a young man's adventure," in 
 the frozen North by one who personally knew the 
 scenes of which he writes. In spite of the somewhat 
 awkward form — that of a story within a story — the in- 
 terest is never lost. 
 
 Hunter, M. Van B. Stories of Famous Children. Ormsby. .$1.00 
 
 It is through such books as this that children gain a 
 taste for historical reading. 
 
 Hurll, E. M. Landseer; Riverside Art Series, No. 9. 
 Houghton 50 
 
 Children are by instinct animal lovers. It is because of 
 this that it seems well that their first book about art 
 should deal with Landseer. Fifteen of his pictures are 
 here reproduced and interpreted. While a book cannot 
 take the place of personal instruction in appreciation 
 of art by children, yet this one cannot fail to be useful 
 to both teachers and children. 
 
 Ingersoll, Ernest. Book of the Ocean. Century $1.50 
 
 The following items from the table of contents suggests 
 something of the value of this book: The Ocean and 
 its Origin; The Building and Rigging of Ships; Secrets 
 Won from the Frozen North; Dangers of the Deep; 
 Fishing and Other Marine Industries. 
 
 Johonnot, James. Neighbors with Claws and Hoofs. Am. 
 Bk. Co 54 
 
 A very excellent collection of animal stories. 
 
 Johonnot, James. Stories of our Country. Am. Bk. Co. . . .40 
 
 The stories are of various periods, from that of coloni- 
 zation through the war of 1812. They still remain stand- 
 ard literature for children. 
 
 Johnson, Rossiter. Phaeton Rogers. Scribner $1.50 
 
 Phaeton Rogers is a boy whose inventive genius leads 
 him into and out of many scrapes. 
 
 Judd, M. C. Wigwam Stories. Ginn 75 
 
 "These stories, told by and about Indians, have been 
 gathered from various sources. They show, among 
 other interesting facts, that the love of the beautiful, 
 and also of the humorous, dwells in the heart of the 
 wild Indian. In addition to the numerous illustrations 
 from photographs, Miss Angel de Cora, a young Indian 
 artist of great promise, has contributed three full-page 
 sketches, the cover design, and numerous initials and 
 designs," 
 
 29 
 
Keeler, H. L. Our Native Trees. Scribner $2.00 
 
 A guide to the identification of the trees of the United 
 States, with three hundred and forty illustrations, more 
 than half of them from photographs. The book is the 
 work of one who is a tree-lover as well as a botanist, 
 and besides being scientifically accurate the book has a 
 distinct literary flavor. Invaluable as an aid to first- 
 hand acquaintance with the trees. 
 
 Ker, David. Lost City. Harper $1.00 
 
 An exciting story of adventure in Central Asia in which 
 two boys forestall a learned professor in a great dis- 
 covery. 
 
 Kingsley, Charles. Greek Heroes. Ginn 30 
 
 The charm of Chas. Kingsley's children's stories lies in 
 the fact that they were inspired by real children. In 
 Greek Heroes he has told them of the courage and brav- 
 ery of Perseus, Jason and Theseus. His moralizing 
 is justified by the fact that he was writing for his own 
 children. 
 
 Knox, T. W. Boy Travellers in the Russian Empire. Har- 
 per $2.00 
 
 Two boys with a marvelous hunger and thirst for 
 knowledge travel through a large part of the Russian 
 Empire with a tutor who lives for no other purpose 
 than to satisfy their demand for information. This thick 
 and fully illustrated volume is a record of their obser- 
 vations and conversations, and the wonder of it is 
 that it really is very interesting. 
 
 Lear. Edmund. Nonsense Songs and Stories. Warne $1.25 
 
 "There was an Old Derry down Derry, who loved to 
 
 see little folks merry; 
 So he made them a Book, and with laughter they shook 
 At the fun of that Derry down Derry." 
 
 Long, W. J. Wilderness Ways. Ginn 45 
 
 Mr. Long says in his preface to these animal studies: 
 "Any animal is interesting enough as an animal, and 
 has character enough of his own, without borrowing 
 anything from man — as one may easily find out by 
 watching long enough." Certainly Mr. Long is able to 
 find a surprising degree of interesting character in the 
 most unpromising animal, even the frog. 
 
 Longfellow, H. W. Children's Hour, Paul Revere*s Ride 
 and Other Poems. Houghton 40 
 
 Contains an excellent selection of the shorter poems, 
 and also a brief but very useful sketch of the poet's life. 
 
 Mabie, H. W. Norse Stories. Rand 40 
 
 One of the best versions. 
 
 30 
 
MacLeod, Mary. Book of King Arthur. Burt $i.oo 
 
 A new and attractive version of the most delightful re- 
 mances of the Middle Ages, wherein may still be seen 
 "noble chivalry, courtesy, humanity, friendship, coward- 
 ice, murder, hate, virtue, sin. Do after the good, and 
 leave the evil and it shall bring you to good fame and 
 renown." 
 
 Miller, Mrs. O. T. The Second Book of Birds. Houghton. $i.oo 
 
 When it is said that this book treats of North Ameri- 
 can birds as divided into families, explaining why the 
 birds are thus grouped and how the families may be 
 distinguished, rather dry reading is suggested, but noth- 
 ing could be further from the fact. On the contrary, 
 the book is so marked by what may be called the per- 
 sonalities of bird-life, that the reader finds himself un- 
 consciously feeling towards thrushes and creepers and 
 dippers and wagtails and the rest as indeed "little 
 brothers of the air." 
 
 Moulton, L. C. New Bed-Time Stories. Little $1.25 
 
 Simple home stories for girls and boys. 
 
 Natural History Book for Children. Warne.Bds. .50; cloth. $1.00 
 
 Children gain very much from the many pictures and 
 the brief descriptions and anecdotes given here. 
 
 Norton, C. E., ed. Heart of Oak Books, No. 4. Heath 50 
 
 Contains besides other selections, Mrs. Molesworth's 
 Brown Bull of Norrowa, Ruskin's King of the Golden 
 River, Niebuhr's Story of the Argonauts, Lamb's Ad- 
 ventures of Ulysses, and The Rescue, from Sir Walter 
 Scott's Antiquary. 
 
 Richards, L. E. When I was Your Age. Estes $1.25 
 
 The manner in which Mrs. Richards has told the story 
 of her youthful days in the lives of her brother and 
 sisters proves that she can never lose the child's point 
 of view. The children of Dr. Howe and Julia Ward 
 Howe could not be other than interesting, and the 
 book is alive with their pranks. 
 
 Ruskin, John, and Others. The King of the Golden River 
 and Other Wonder Stories. Houghton 25 
 
 In the name story "the inheritance which was lost by 
 cruelty was regained by love." Besides Ruskin, Bjorn- 
 son, Andersen, Grimm and Scudder are represented in 
 this little book. 
 
 St. Nicholas Magazine. Bound volume. Century $4.00 
 
 If it were possible to bring a new number of St. Nicho- 
 las Magazine into every home and school-room in the 
 land every month with its wealth of entertainment and 
 instruction it would be a desirable thing to do. The 
 only objection to a bound volume of St. Nicholas is 
 that it wears out too soon, and this is the fault of the 
 publishers only in making it too attractive. 
 
 31 
 
Seawell, M. E. Little Jarvis. Appleton $i.oo 
 
 The pathetic story of a little midshipman, gay and care- 
 less, yet ready to answer with his life at honor's call. 
 
 Seton, Ernest Thompson. Krag and Johnny Bear. Scrib- 
 ner 50 
 
 Krag, Randy, Johnny Bear and Chink, from "Lives of 
 the Hunted." 
 
 Stockton, F. R. The Floating Prince. Scribner $1.50 
 
 Fairy stories containing a strong element of humor, 
 Such conceptions as that of the Reformed Pirate, who 
 is subject to relapses into piracy but who conquers the 
 tendency but industriously knitting tidies, would hardly 
 be found elsewhere than in Stockton. 
 
 Stockton, F. R. Story of Viteau. Scribner $1.50 
 
 A boy's life in the period of chivalry in France. The 
 boy hero is a somewhat reckless lad, who through 
 his recklessness is captured by a robber band and held 
 for ransom. The mixture of splendor and rudeness, of 
 chivalry and lawlessness of the period is well repre- 
 sented. 
 
 Stoddard, W. O. Crowded out of Crofield. Appleton $1.50 
 
 There is always "something doing" in Mr. Stoddard's 
 books. It must be confessed that more adventures and 
 more successes than are likely to fall to the lot of the 
 ordinary boy are portioned out to his heroes by the 
 author, but they are wholesome, manly boys, and there 
 is a corner in the boy's book-shelf which properly be- 
 longs to books of stirring action in everyday life. 
 
 Stoddard, W. O. With the Black Prince. Appleton $1.50 
 
 A story of the fourteenth century. While Mr. Stoddard 
 may not be quite as much at home in the England of 
 that time as he is in an American village of to-day, still 
 the young reader will gain much information as to the 
 customs and manners of the time, and there is not a 
 dull minute in the book. 
 
 Stuart, R. McE. Solomon Crow's Christmas Pockets and 
 other Tales. Harper $1-25 
 
 Stories of Southern child-life by a well kncfwn writer. A 
 delightful book for young and old. 
 
 Swinton, Wm. and Cathcart, G. R. (eds.) Reading from 
 Nature's Book. Am. Bk. Co 65 
 
 The p^reat writers as a rule have been drawn upon for 
 the material of this book. It is a good book for a child 
 to own and to grow up to, but he will at once find much 
 in it which he will understand and enjoy.

UNIVERSITY 
 
 OF 
 
 Tappan, E. M. Our Country's Story. Houghtoilrr . . . . ttTT. .65 
 
 This book avoids the common fault of histories for 
 children of putting the emphasis upon incidentals rather 
 than essentials, in an attempt to interest children. The 
 writer has succeeded admirably in being simple without 
 being trivial. The illustrations are good, the book 
 work excellent, as the work of its publishers uniformly 
 is. The first part of the history of our country is much 
 more fully treated than the period of and succeeding 
 the civil war. 
 
 Toward the Rising Sun. Youth's Companion Series. Ginn. .25 
 
 The geography lessons on Asia will be made very real 
 by this little book. It will be read as a ple^'^ure and not 
 as a task. 
 
 True, J. P. The Iron Star. Little Brown $1.50 
 
 School Edition $1.00 
 
 The Iron Star was a meteorite which fell to the earth 
 in the myth age, where Umpl and Sptz, two savages, 
 stood gazing in terror. They guarded the pieces of 
 iron all their days and handed them down to their chil- 
 dren from generation to generation. The author takes 
 this way of suggesting the growth of civilization from 
 the time of the cave men down through the stone, 
 bronze and iron ages to the days of Myles Standish. 
 
 True, J. P. Scouting for Washington. Little $1.00 
 
 A story of the days of Sumter and Tarleton. 
 Wade, M. H. Our Little Russian Cousin. Page 60 
 
 A very readable little information book on the model 
 of the Seven Little Sisters. 
 
 Ward, E. S. Gypsy Breynton. Dodd $1.50 
 
 "There is apt to be a pin in her gathers, but there is 
 sure to be a laugh in her eyes." No girl will take any 
 harm from association with Gypsy in all her scrapes 
 and misdemeanors, for Gypsy has a wise and good 
 mother whom she loves with all her impulsive little 
 soul, and would not do a mean or an unkind thing under 
 any circumstances. 
 
 White, E. O. A Little Girl of Long Ago. Houghton $1.00 
 
 Although Marietta Hamilton was a little girl of long 
 ago, she and her brothers and sisters were very like 
 the boys and girls of the present time in their love of 
 fun and mischief. Nevertheless they are very sweet 
 and well-bred children, who are worth knownig. 
 
 Wiggin, K. D., and Smith, Nora. The Posy Ring. Mc- 
 
 Clure $1.25 
 
 Simple poetical selections, grave and gay, chosen always 
 with excellent taste. Excellent poems for school work 
 and for occasions are to be found here. 
 
 33 
 
Wilkins, M. E. Young Lucretia, and Other Stories. Har- 
 per $1.25 
 
 There are thirteen of these stories. The only unlucky 
 thing about them is that there are not more of them. 
 "When the Christmas Tree Grew" is a good story for 
 the holiday time. 
 
 Wright, J. McN. Seaside and Wayside, No. 4. Heath 50 
 
 Something of elementary geology and astronomy, to- 
 gether with some little account of the order of develop-

 ner. The name story is of a boy and girl who are made 
 happy by finding in their ability to sing a means of 
 earning needed comforts for those they love. 
 
 Alcott, L. M. Little Women. Little $1.50 
 
 Why write a note on Little Women? Who is there of 
 age to have read it who does not know this best of 
 all stories of girl life, this picture of the ideal Ameri- 
 can home? And yet how can one who has the oppor- 
 tunity fail to pay tribute to it? In it all the high the- 
 ories of the transcendentalists came down to earth 
 transformed into working principles, and we see how it 
 is possible being poor yet to be rich, and having little 
 yet to have all. 
 
 Alcott, L. M. Old-fashioned Girl. Little $1.50 
 
 Many lovers of Jo March find their allegiance divided 
 between her and Polly, the old-fashioned girl. The 
 book is one of the best of a writer whose books for 
 young folks are all good.

 pride of all Americans.

 Bellamy. B. W., and Goodwin, M. W., eds. Open Sesame. 
 Vol. II. Ginn 75 
 
 Selections, mainly poetical, arranged for boys and girls 
 from ten to fourteen years old. "Open Sesame," it will 
 be remembered, was the magic formula which swung 
 back the door to the Forty Thieves' treasure-cave. It 
 is treasure, indeed, which these books contain. The 
 teacher or parent should be satisfied if the ordinary 
 child succeeds in making his own one-tenth part of it. 
 
 Blaisdell, A. F., and Ball, F. K. Hero Stories from Amer- 
 ican History. Ginn 50 
 
 "Notable and dramatic events," such as the capture

 Things. Holt $2.50 
 
 While intended for reference and not for ordinary 
 reading, this is yet indispensable to the child's library. 
 Long before he can successfully use the full-grown cy- 
 clopedia he can here gain the method and the habit of . 
 looking up things. 
 
 Church, Rev. A. J. Story of the Iliad. Macmillan 50 
 
 Church's style is always dignified and uplifting, and he 
 writes to interpret the best in literature.

 Pauper. Harper $i«75 
 
 As the story runs, the little Edward VI. of England 
 changes clothing and place with little Tom Canty, the 
 beggar-lad who is his double in appearance, and both 
 lads have many strange adventures in their new cir- 
 cumstances before the mistake is righted. The author . 
 himself says "It may have happened; it may not have 
 happened; but it could have happened."

 the west and writes from personal experience. 
 
 De Amicis, Edmond. Cuore: An Italian Schoolboy's Jour- 
 nal. Crowell $1.25 
 
 Chiefly valuable as a study of Italian child life, but the 
 children will read it and be helped by the high moral 
 courage of Enrico, Derossi and their schoolmates. This 
 book only needs to be better known to become a uni- 
 versal favorite. 
 
 Deland, E. D. Katrina. Wilde $1.50 
 
 A summer vacation at the Perkins' farm with Katrina 
 and the Boarders, some of whom were no older than 
 Katrina and quite as lively. Later she visits them in 
 New York. 
 
 Dodge, M. M. Land of Pluck. Century $1.50 
 
 The last two-thirds of this book consists of stories 
 which are much simpler than the Sketches of Holland 
 which constitute the first third. The whole book, how- 
 ever, is delightful reading.

Dodge, M. M. Donald and Dorothy. Century $1.50 
 
 Donald and Dorothy are a boy and girl of fourteen, 
 healthy and wealthy, and happy except for the prob- 
 blem which disturbs them — whether they are really 
 brother and sister. This doubt arises from the con- 
 fusion of identity of two babies, one of whom was 
 saved and one lost in a shipwreck. Part of the inter- 
 est of the book lies in the solution of this problem, 
 and part in the happy home-life of the children. 
 
 Drake, S. A. On Plymouth Rock. Lee 60 
 
 The story, based largely on Governor Bradford's his- 
 tory, of the first two years of the life of the Plymouth 
 colonists. 
 
 Giberne, Agnes. Father Aldur; a Water Story. Am. Tract 
 Soc $1^5 
 
 The story of a river and that of a family of children 
 and their friends are closely interwoven; not so close- 
 ly, however, that there is not an opportunity for judi- 
 cious skipping if the fortunes of the latter become 
 more interesting than those of the former. 
 
 Gibson, W. H. Eye-Spy. Harper $2.50 
 
 One of the most attractive nature books ever written. 
 Beautiful in style, carefully illustrated by the author, 
 who was both naturalist and artist, the book cannot 
 fail to interest young people in the insect and plant life 
 around them. 
 
 Good, Arthur. Magic Experiments; or Science in Play. 
 David McKay $1.25 
 
 Tricks and experiments that any boy can manage with 
 simple articles, such as kitchen utensils, corks, matches, 
 glasses, knives, forks and plates. The illustrations are 
 clear and suggestive. 
 
 Goss, W. L. Tom Clifton. Crowell $1.50 
 
 The hero is a minister's son of the proverbial kind, 
 and the story deals not only with his life in Grant's 
 and Sherman's army from '61 to '65, but with his pre- 
 vious trip from the Atlantic coast to the Northwest, 
 and his life in the latter region. 
 
 Hart, A. B. Camps and Firesides of the Revolution. 
 Source Readers. No. 2. Macmillan .50 
 
 To bring that which is far off near, to make the past 
 live as the present, to bring before the mind's eye the 
 thing which vanished from the earth years upon years 
 ago — this must be done if history is to be anything 
 more than meaningless words. Such books as this help i 
 mightily in accomplishing this task.

Hart, A. B. How Our Grandfathers Lived; Source Reader 
 in American History, No. 3. Macmillan 60 
 
 It would" be a dull girl indeed who should fail to find 
 interest in Abigail Adam's letters describing the dress 
 and manners of the court of St, James, or in Dolly- 
 Madison's account of the fashions in Philadelphia, and 
 the boy would be most unusual who did not care for 
 the stories of bear fights, Indian adventure, fire at sea, 
 etc., related here, especially when added to their in- 
 trinsic interest in the assurance that the tales are true. 
 
 Hill, C. T. Fighting a Fire. Century $1.50 
 
 The drill and training of the fire-fighter, his dangers 
 and his heroism. 
 
 Holmes, O. W. Grandmother's Story of the Battle of 
 Bunker Hill. Houghton 60 
 
 The poems of Dr. Holmes, gathered here, including the 
 name-poem and others of patriotism, the famous hu- 
 morous poems of The Wonderful One-Hoss Shay, and 
 How the Old Horse Won the Bet, and a number of 
 others, are those which come closest to the understand- 
 ing and sympathies of boys and girls. 
 
 Johonnot, James. A Geographical Reader. Am. Bk. Co. . . $1.00 
 
 Selections from well-known writers and travelers, de- 
 scribing natural phenomena and unusual scenes. This 
 kind of book has its place and value as well as the geo- 
 graphical reader which deals continuously with one 
 country. 
 
 Johonnot, James. Stories of the Olden Time. Am. Bk. Co.. ..54 
 
 Myths, parables and fables, legends, old ballads and 
 history, carefully edited from the best sources.

 Do. Estes $1.20

 suggestions for everything from pie-crust to golf. 
 
 King, Captain Charles. Cadet Days. Harper $1.25 
 
 A story of life at West Point by one who is well fitted 
 to write of it. It is remarkable that so interesting a 
 subject has not inspired other good fiction. 
 
 Kipling, Rudyard. Jungle Book. Century.. $1.50 
 
 "Feet in the jungle that leave no mark. 
 Eyes that can see in the dark, the dark." 
 
 Mowgli, the hero of most of the stories, is a man- 
 child reared among the wolf-pack, and to whom the 
 fierce law of the jungle is as an open book. The Jungle 
 Book is a book to be felt, not described.

Lee, Yan Phou. When I Was a Boy in China. Lothrop.. .60 
 
 This inside view of life in China will be quite a reve- 
 lation to some of our boys and girls who unconscious- 
 ly pride themselves on race-superiority. American ways 
 by no means seem invariably better than those of the 
 Chinese to Yan Phou Lee. 
 
 Long, W. J. Secrets of the Woods. Ginn 50 
 
 The wood-mouse (Tookhees, the 'Fraid One), the king- • 
 fisher, the red squirrel, "th' ol' beech pa'tridge," the 
 otter and the deer are the inhabitants of the woods 
 with whom Mr. Long here brings us into friendly in- 
 timacy. These books have done and are doing much 
 to send to the woods hunters of "gunless game" who 
 always return richer than they went. 
 
 Longfellow, H. W. Evangeline. Houghton 60 
 
 The connection of this poem with American history 
 as well as the pathos of its subject causes it to appeal 
 early to the interest of young folks. The volume con- 
 tains a number of Longfellow's other poems. 
 
 Lummis, C. F. Some Strange Corners of Our Country 
 Century $1.50 
 
 The "corners" are the Southwestern part of the United 
 States, and inhabited by people with many curious cus- 
 toms, among them the snake-dancers of the Moqui In- 
 dians and the magicians of the Navajoes. 
 
 Marvin, F. S., Mayor, R. J. C, and Stawell, F. M. Adven- 
 tures of Odysseus. Button $1.50 
 
 Many have essayed the task of bringing the treasures 
 of Greek literature to the children, with more or less 
 success. These writers have succeeded in a very un- 
 usual manner. Their style has freedom, vigor and sim- 
 plicity. The book is very pleasing in its outer form. 
 
 Mathews, F. S. Familiar Life in Field and Forest. Apple- 
 ton $1.75 
 
 If the young reader is not frightened at the long Latin 
 names (which appear in modest parenthesis), he will 
 find accounts in very fresh and vigorous Enfrlish of 
 life which is familiar in a degree to every country boy 
 — that of the 'coon, the fox, the skunk, the muskrat and 
 many others. Finely illustrated. 
 
 Nesbit, E. Would-Be-Goods. Harper $1.50 
 
 "If anything in these chronicles of the Would-Be- 
 Goods should make you try to be good yourself, the 
 author will be very glad, of course. But take my ad- 
 vice and don't make a society for trying. It is much 
 easier without." The failures of the Would-Be-Goods 
 to carry out the purpose for which they organize are 
 so many and so very delightful that it is a little doubt- 
 ful whether the "author's" heart will ever be rejoiced 
 in the manner suggested. But as the Would-Be-Goods 
 are happy children and the soul of honor they can hard- 
 ly harm anyone who makes their acquaintance.

Norton, C. E. ed. Heart of Oak Books, No. 5. Heath 60 
 
 Selections from Arabian Nights; Malory's Morte D'- 
 Arthur; Tennyson's Idyls of the King; Bunyan's Pil- 
 grim's Progress; Scott's Tales of a Grandfather; 
 Franklin's Autobiography, and other masterpieces of 
 English and American .literature. 
 
 Patterson, A. J. Spinner Family. McClurg $1.00 
 
 A beautifully illustrated study of spiders. When in- 
 struction can be made as delightful as this, it seems 
 strange that all the world does not grow wise. 
 
 Pyle, Howard. Men of Iron. Harper $2.00 
 
 Myles Falworth, the hero of this story of fourteenth 
 century chivalry in England, is the son of a great lord 
 of fallen fortunes. The boy is sent from the retreat 
 of his parents to the castle of the powerful Earl of 
 Mackworth, who is in secret his father's friend, to re- 
 ceive knightly training. He early earns knighthood, 
 and then devotes himself to the restoration of his blind 
 father to those honors and possessions of which the 
 latter has been unjustly deprived. The life of the times 
 is brought vividly before the reader, and the charac- 
 ters of Myles and his friend are strongly drawn. 
 
 Pyle, Howard. Otto of the Silver Hand. Scribner $2.00 
 
 A somewhat grim story, but the times of the robber- 
 barons in Germany were grim times, and it is with 
 these times that the story deals, 
 
 Richards, L. E. Captain January. Estes 50 
 
 Little Star is saved as a baby from a wreck by Cap- 
 tain January, the old light-house keeper, and brought 
 up by him on his island. The old man and the child 
 love each other dearly, and the main interest of the 
 story centers in certain passages where each makes an 
 unselfish choice for love's sake. 
 
 Seawell, M. E. Paul Jones. Appleton $1.00 
 
 Born a poor Scotch gardener's son, shipping as a com- 
 mon sailor boy because there were so many mouths to 
 feed at home, rising to the command of a ship be- 
 fore he was twenty. Paul Jones appeals strongly to the 
 boy and he follows his hero through his naval career 
 with breathless interest. Mrs. Seawell writes well and 
 she has an interesting subject. 
 
 Shaw, Flora:. Castle Blair. Heath 30 
 
 The scene is laid in Ireland. A bachelor uncle makes 
 a home at Castle Blair for the children of his brother 
 in India, who is in the English service, and for an or- 
 phaned niece from France, who acts as house-keeper. 
 The children from India are utterly untrained, high- 
 spirited, and lawless, but are good-hearted and innately 
 rrood. There are troublous times, but everything ends 
 happily.

Shigemi Shiukichi. A Japanese Boy; By Himself. Holt. .$i.oo 
 
 This view of Japanese life from within is very enter- 
 taining as well as instructive. 
 
 Strange Lands Near Home. Youth's Companion Series. 
 Ginn • 35 
 
 North America outside of the United States. 
 
 Tappan, E. M. In the Days of Alfred the Great. J^ee $1.00 
 
 "I have sought to live my life worthily," said the great 
 English king, and the mists of a thousand years have 
 failed to obscure the worth and beauty of that life. Miss 
 Tappan's telling of his story has a quiet beauty and 
 power, 
 
 Thackeray, W. M. The Rose and the Ring. Heath 25 
 
 The children — and the world — owe this delightful ab- 
 surdity to a little girl friend of Mr. Thackeray's, as it 
 was written to amuse her during an illness. It is his 
 only juvenile, and more's the pity. The Rose and the 
 Ring each had the power of making its wearer charm- 
 ing in the eyes of any beholder. Naturally as it changed 
 hands some complications of the aflFections arose, and 
 these give Mr. Thackeray his opportunity, which he 
 improves far beyond the power of any brief note to set 
 forth. 
 
 Trowbridge, J. T. His One Fault. Lee $1.25 
 
 Kit's one fault is extreme carelessness, and Kit, who 
 is no fool, learns his lesson thoroughly in the dear 
 school of experience. 
 
 Wade, M. H. Our Little Norwegian Cousin. Page 50 
 
 In story form but with the purpose of instruction. 
 
 White, J. S. Boys' and Girls' Plutarch. Putnam $1.75 
 
 "Plutarch wrote a hundred books and was never dull. 
 Most of these have been lost, but the portions which 
 remain have been found, with the exception of Holy 
 Writ, more readers through eighteen centuries than the 
 works of any other writer of ancient times." — Introduc- 
 tion. Although Plutarch's Lives will seem difficult 
 reading to most boys and girls, it will repay the effort 
 required to master its difficulties. 
 
 Whittier, J. G. Complete Poetical Works. Household 
 
 Edition. Houghton • $1.50 
 
 The perfect melody of Whittier's poetry gives it a 
 charm for the quite young child; and the childlike di- 
 rectness and simplicity of his narrative and ballad 
 poetry, together with its depth of feeling and wealth of 
 imagery, give it a strong hold on the affections of the 
 growing boy and girl. 
 
 41 
 
Wiggin, K. D., and Smith, N. A., eds. Golden Numbers. 
 McClure $2.00 
 
 This collection, by the same compilers as the Posy- 
 Ring and intended for older children, has been evident- 
 ly very lovingly and carefully chosen, and is certain 
 to prove of permanent value. 
 
 Wright, M. O., and Coues, Elliott. Citizen Bird. Mac- 
 millan $1.50 
 
 Two children, Nat and Dodo, go to live with their un- 
 cle, Dr. Hunter, a naturalist, at Orchard Farm. They, 
 together with a cousin and Rap, a little lame country 
 boy, study birds with Dr. Hunter's help. Unlike many 
 of the children created by authors solely for the pur- 
 pose of receiving instruction, these young people are 
 decidedly real. There is a vast amount of instruction 
 in the book, but it is given in such form as to be ac- 
 cepted with pleasure by the young reader. The many 
 and fine bird portraits add much to the value of the 
 work. 
 
 EIGHTH GRADE 
 
 Alcott, L. M. My Boys. Little $1.00 
 
 The boys described in the sketch which gives its name 
 to the volume are real boys whom Miss Alcott knew 
 and loved. One of them is especially interesting as being 
 the original of Laurie in Little Women, Besides My 
 Boys the book contains a number of stories. 
 
 Alcott, L. M. Spinning- Wheel Stories. Little. $1.25 
 
 These, as their name suggests, are stories of the olden 
 time, and being Miss Alcott's are, of course, hopeful, 
 healthful, and hearty. 
 
 Aldrich, T. B. Story of a Bad Boy. Houghton $1.25 
 
 "Well, not such a very bad boy." A story of New 
 England boyhood, so full of personal reminiscence of 
 the author's own youthful days, and so true to boy's 
 ideals, that it has become immortal. 
 
 American Poems. Houghton $1.00 
 
 Contains the selections from Longfellow, Whittier, 
 Bryant, Holmes. Lowell and Emerson, published sep- 
 arately in the Riverside Literature Series. 
 
 Bacon, A. M. Japanese Girls and Women. Houghton 75 
 
 Admirably clear and sympathetic. The author was es- 
 pecially fitted for her work by long years of daily in- 
 tercourse and long friendship with these dainty little 
 ladies of the East. Any intelligent girl of fourteen or 
 upwards will find it pleasant reading. 
 
 42 
 
Baker, R. S. Boy's Book of Inventions. McClure $2.00 
 
 Sub-marine boats, liquid air, wireless telegraphy, motor 
 vehicles, X-Ray photography, kites, the phonograph, 
 modern sky-scrapers and flyiner machines. 
 
 Barbour, R. H. The Halfback. Appleton $1.50 
 
 A story of school, football and golf. 
 
 Beard, Lina and F. B. American Girl's Handy Book. 
 Scribner $2.00 
 
 To teach girls to do things, and to tell them exactly 
 how, is the object of this book. Its scope is too varied 
 to be easily indicated; tableaux, holiday parties, how 
 to make things, china-painting, out-of-door amuse- 
 ments, clubs and how to conduct them, are a small part 
 of the subjects treated. 
 
 Bellamy, B. W., and Goodwin, M. W., eds. Open Sesame. 
 Vol. 3. Ginn 75 
 
 While many of the selections in this book are beyond 
 the average child of fourteen, there is enough here 
 which is within his range to endear the book to him, 
 and there is much in it for him to grow toward. 
 
 Bennett, John. Master Skylark. Century $1.50 
 
 The story of a little lad who sang his way to London 
 Town and into the hearts of all the people, among 
 them Will Shakespeare, playwright. The book is well 
 written and will arouse the children's interest in Shake- 
 spearean literature and familiarize them with the quaint 
 English of the Elizabethan period. 
 
 Boyesen, H. H. Against Heavy Odds. Scribner $1.35 
 
 Brooks, E. S. Chivalric Days. Putnam $1.50 
 
 These are stories of chivalric days in the sense that 
 all days become such when courage and gentleness 
 make them so. In old Egypt and Rome, in half-bar- 
 baric Germany in the splendors of the times of Fran- 
 cis the First in France — in manv times and places the 
 author finds boys and girls who make the days in which 
 they live chivalric days. 
 
 Brooks, E. S. Historic Boys. Putnam $1.50 
 
 Marcus of Rome, Brian of Munster, Olaf of Norway, 
 William ^ of Normandy, Baldwin of Jerusalem, etc. 
 Short stirring stories prepared with a due regard to his- 
 toric and chronologic accuracy. 
 
 Brooks, E. S. Master of the Strong Hearts. Button $1.50 
 
 Custer's last rally in the valley of the Little Big Horn 
 told as a story of adventure for boys in such a way 
 that the reader feels the heroism of red man and white 
 man alike, and closes the book feeling he has gained 
 a lesson in the wisdom of caution and loyalty to duty. 
 
 43 
 
Brown, Dr. John. Rab and His Friends. Houghton to 
 
 A rare picture of heroic devotion that will make our 
 boys more manly .and our girls more sweet. This vol- 
 ume also contains Marjorie Fleming and some other 
 selections. 
 
 Burroughs, John. Squirrels, and Other Fur-Bearers. 
 Houghton $1.00 
 
 The well-known leisurely and charming style of Sharp- 
 Eyes and Wake-Robin is found here applied to sub- 
 jects especially interesting to young folks — squirrels, 
 weasels, rabbits, skunks, muskrats, racoons, opossums, 
 etc. 
 
 Champlin, J. H. Young Folks' Cyclopedia of Persons and 
 Places. Holt $2.50 
 
 A valuable reference book for a child's own library. 
 Very desirable for all school-rooms from the fifth 
 grade up. 
 
 Church, Rev. A. J. Story of the Odyssey. Macmillan 50 
 
 In which grade this book proves readable and useful 
 will depend very largely upon the amount of reading 
 and instruction previously had in the field of Greek 
 literature and mythology, — to speak pedagogically, upon 
 the apperceptive mass of Greek ideas already pos- 
 sessed by the child. It is a worthy rendering of a 
 story the child should know. 
 
 Coryell, J. R. Diego Pinzon. Harper $1.25 
 
 A light-hearted, nimble-witted little scapegrace who is 
 at school in the convent of La Rabida at the time when 
 Columbus is about to sail from Spain. Being brought 
 to his cousin, Martin Alonzo Pinzon for discipline, the 
 latter takes the lad with him in the-Pinta on the dread- 
 ful voyage. 
 
 Dana, Mrs. W. S. How to Know the Wild Flowers. 
 Scribner $1.75 
 
 Profusely and beautifully illustrated. An aid to the 
 identification of flowers by those having little or no 
 knowleds^e of scientific botany. The classification is 
 that which children naturally make — by color. The 
 book can be used to advantage by any child from the 
 fifth grade up. 
 
 Deland, E. D. A Successful Venture. Wilde $1.50 
 
 How four plucky girls and their younger brother earned 
 their own living when misfortune overtook them. The 
 plot is old but it is well treated. Mrs. Deland ap- 
 proaches Miss Alcott in writing successfully for half- 
 grown girls. 
 
 44 
 
Dickens, Chas. (Aiton, ed.). Cricket on the Hearth. Rand. .30 
 
 Dot Peerybingle and John the Carrier, Tilly Slowboy 
 and the Baby, the sweet blind Bertha and her father, 
 easily become the friends of the children. For some 
 reasons it is the best work of Dickens to begin with; 
 the nlot is less involved, the motives simpler than in 
 most of his books, and the peculiarities of his style are 
 less exaggerated. The illustrations of this edition are 
 not entirely satisfactory; aside from that its form is 
 very attractive for its very small price. 
 
 Dole, C. F. Young Citizen. Heath 45 
 
 A very simple explanation of the form of our govern- 
 ment and of the duties of good citizenship, those be- 
 longing to boys and girls as well as those of men and 
 women. 
 
 Eastman, Chas. Indian Boyhood. McClure $1.60 
 
 Dr. Chas. Eastman is at the same time a cultured gen- 
 tleman and a Sioux Indian. Until the age of about 
 fifteen he lived the life of the "wild Sioux" in the 
 Northwest, and he tells the story of this life vigor- 
 ously and with much feeling. It is an inside view of 
 the education, sports, games, worship, pleasures and 
 hardships of Indian boyhood thirty or forty years ago. 
 
 Eckstorm, F. H. The Bird Book. Heath 60 
 
 This book is difficult unless a considerable amount of 
 previous readin^^ on the subject has been done. When 
 this is the case it will prove valuable. 
 
 Famous Adventures and Prison Escapes. Century $1.50 
 
 The siege of Vicksburg, Morgan's raid, capture and 
 escape, Libby Prison and its famous tunnel, these and 
 other scenes of the civil war are brought vividly before 
 us by those who were themselves actors in these scenes. 
 
 Gayley, C. M., and Flaherty, M. C. Poetry of the Peo- 
 ple. Ginn 50 
 
 Had the "Poems of America," historical and patriotic, 
 which occupy the last hundred and thirty pages of this 
 book been given place at the beginning of it, its ap- 
 peal to the favor of Young America would undoubt- 
 edly have been more immediate. The old style of the 
 first few ballads is somewhat daunting to children, but 
 the collection has real value, and the children should 
 be helped to discover it. Most of the poems are those 
 which many people have cared for. 
 
 Gibson, W. H. Sharp-Eyes. Harper $2.50 
 
 This journal-record of what sharp eyes may see from 
 season to season throughout the year would be too 
 difficult for boys and girls were it not for illumina- 
 tion by the author's beautiful drawings.

Hale, E. E. How to Do It. Little $i.oo 
 
 It was a good many years ago that the now venerable 
 chaplain of the United States Senate attempted to tell 
 the voung neople How to Do It in the matter of min- 
 gling helpfully and happily with their fellowmen. Dr. 
 Hale's advice has the advantage over much that is of- 
 fered to young people in that he has not only told them 
 "how to do it" but has given a practical demonstration 
 of the same all through his long and useful life. 
 
 Hale, E. E. In His Name. Little $i.oo 
 
 By accident the little daughter of Jean Waldo, master- 
 weaver of the city of Lyons, drinks poison. The only 
 man who can help her is John of Lugio, one of the 
 Waldenses who have been banished and proscribed. 
 He is sought by one who rides asking aid in his search 
 with the password of the Waldenses, "In His Name." 
 
 Hale, E. E. The Man Without a Country. Little 75 
 
 No child can read the story of poor Philip Nolan with- 
 out feeling as he has never done before the meaning of 
 the words "My country." 
 
 Harris, J. C. Nights with Uncle Remus. Houghton $1.50 
 
 Uncle Remus is a negro of the best old plantation 
 type. He tells to the little boy from the big house 
 stories which are the folk-lore of the negroes, but 
 which to the little boy and to the child reader are 
 merely the most delightful and humorous accounts 
 of the shrewd tricks played by Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, 
 and the other animals/ upon each other. 
 
 Hart, A. B. Source Readers in American History, No. i. 
 Colonial Children. Macmillan .40 
 
 These stories are from original sources, and even with 
 the modern spelling and simplified diction are a little 
 difficult. It is believed, however, that their, interest 
 is sufficient to carry children, in whom a love of his- 
 tory has been aroused, through the difficulties. 
 Hart, A. B. Source Readers in American History. No. 
 
 4. The Romance of the Civil War. Macmillan 60 
 
 Stories of the civil war from the personal narratives 
 of contemporaries: slaves, slave-holders, privates, 
 nurses, surgeons and chaplains, as well as novelists, 
 journalists, and poets. There is no attempt to give any 
 continued narrative of the war, but rather to bring out 
 the personality of the men and women who took part 
 in the struggle. 
 
 Hough, E. The Story of the Cowboy. Appleton $1.50 
 
 Written for older readers, this story of a class of men 
 which is rapidly passing away is of quite equal interest 
 to the older children. The author has not yielded to 
 the temptation to paint his subject in too strong colors, 
 but the style is vigorous, and its very simplicity gives it 
 strenerth. 
 
 46 
 
Hughes, Thomas. Tom Brown at Rugby. Houghton 60 
 
 School days at Rugby under the famous Dr. Arnold 
 who loved boys and lived to make them brave, Chris- 
 tian gentlemen. Contains some sound pedagogy for 
 teachers. 
 
 Irving, Washington. Stories and Legends from Washing- 
 ton Irving. Putnam $1.50 
 
 An excellent collection for the purpose of attracting 
 young people to a desirable author. Contains Rip Van 
 Winkle, the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the Legend of 
 Kidd the Pirate, and five others. 
 
 Jewett, S. O. Betty Leicester. Houghton $1.23

 the dear friend and companion of her father. Betty 
 goes to spend the summer in quiet old Tideshead with 
 her grand aunts while her father takes a trip to Alaska. 
 "At fifteen one does not always know where to find 
 one's self," but in finding the worth of the plam country 
 people whom she comes to know at Tideshead and in

 ton $1.50

 Kipling, Rudyard. Captains Courageous. Century $1.50 
 
 Harvey Cheyne, young, rich and spoiled, falls over- 
 board from an Atlantic liner and is picked up by fish- 
 ermen bound for a season's catch off the coast of 
 Newfoundland. The reader is given a good picture of 
 life aboard a fishing smack while the rude fishermen 
 make a man of Harvey and finally restore him to his 
 anxious narents. 
 
 La Flesche, Francis. The Middle Five. Small $1.25 
 
 The story of five Indian boys at a mission school. The 
 author was one of these. There is a real power in the 
 frank simplicity of the narrative. To the child-reader 
 the plays and the "scrimmages" of the boys will be 
 entertaining, and he cannot fail to realize that the In- 
 dian boy and the white boy are curiously alike in their 
 thoughts and feelings.

Liljencrantz, O. A. Thrall of Leif, the Lucky. McClurg. .$1.50 
 
 The scene is laid in the tenth century at the time when 
 King Olaf of Norway introduces Christianity into 
 Greenland. Alwin, the English thrall of Leif, the 
 Lucky, is the hero of this story. He goes with Leif 
 on this mission to Greenland and also on the latter's 
 famous voyage to Vinland. The free, rude, vigorous 
 life of the time is well painted. A simple love-story 
 is mingled with the adventures of the hero.

 Lowell, J. R. Vision of Sir Launfal. Houghton 60 
 
 Long before a child can have more than a glimpse of 
 the fullness of meaning of this poem he can know its 
 story and see its exquisite pictures. He will seldom 
 read it first unaided, but having once been helped to 
 read it he will read it again and again. The volume 
 contains seventeen other poems and a sketch of Lowell. 
 
 Lucas, E. V. Book of Verses for Children. Holt $2.00 
 
 A fine selection from English and American poetry 
 which the children will read for themselves. It con- 
 tains old saws and rhymes, some early Christmas car- 
 ols, narrative poems on country life, birds, dogs and 
 horses, much fun from Lear, Carroll and others, old 
 ballads, well-known stories in verse, etc. 
 
 Lummis, C. F. King of the Broncos. Scribner $1.25 
 
 Stories of New Mexico, and full of strange and excit- 
 ing but not sensational adventure. The daring is not 
 foolhardiness and the whole tone is good. 
 
 Moffett, Cleveland. Careers of Danger and Daring. Cen- 
 tury $1.50 
 
 To give to boys a book which they will read with de- 
 light, in which the heroes of peace are made to seem 
 as worthy of honor as those of war — this is a fine thing 
 to do, and it has been accomplished in Mr. MoflFett's 
 A^olume of stories of the lives of the diver, the balloon- 
 ist, the fireman, the locomotive engineer, and others 
 whose daily occupations require courage and presence 
 of mind,

 Those who believe in love stories for growing girls and 
 boys will find nothing sweeter nor purer than this sim- 
 ple story of domestic life. 
 
 Newell, Peter. Pictures and Rhymes. Harper $1.00 
 
 One must see Mr. Newell's inimitable illustrations to 
 appreciate the humor in such rhymes as 
 
 "Of what are you afraid, my child?" 
 
 Inquired the kindly teacher. 
 "Oh, Sir! the flowers, they are wild," 
 
 Replied the timid creature. 
 
 Northern Europe. Geographical Reader; Youth's Com- 
 panion Series. Ginn 25 
 
 With the help of such books as this, geography be- 
 comes a delight. The story of danger and rescue on 
 the Northern coast of France, called "On the Quick- 
 sands," is very thrilling.

 cue of a young lady from out their hands." A whole- 
 some pirate story for boys containing a touch of ro- 
 mance which appeals to girls.

 cal Apparatus. St. John $i.oo 
 
 This book in both text and illustration gives very clear 
 and simple explanation of the way in which a great 
 variety of electrical apparatus may be made with lit- 
 tle expense. A boy of, fourteen or fifteen could use it 
 to good practical advantage. 
 
 St. John, T. M. Things a Boy Should Know About Elec- 
 tricity. St. John $i.oo 
 
 The fundamental principles are treated in a way that 
 a boy of twelve or fourteen ought to understand. This 
 book should be used in connection with "How Two 
 Boys Made their own Electrical Apparatus." A boy 
 who masters the two will have a good elementary 
 knowledge of electricity. 
 
 St. Nicholas Book of Plays and Operettas. Century $i.oo 
 
 A collection of the most popular plays and operettas 
 which have been published in St. Nicholas during the 
 last quarter of a century. Of real, practical use to the 
 amateur in arranging home and school performances .

 olas set to music by various American and English

 Scott, W. E. D. Story of a Bird-Lover. Outlook. $2.00 
 
 A man who has a collection of over five hundred living 
 birds to whose care and study he devotes a large part 
 of his time must surely deserve the title of "Bird- 
 Lover." Mr. Scott certainly does, but we have only to 
 read his book to find that he is a lover of most living 
 beings, animal or human. 
 
 Seawell, M. E. Rock of the Lion. Harper $1.50 
 
 A loyal little midshipman under John Paul Jones was 
 captured by a British vessel during the Revolutionary 
 War and carried to England where he was pressed into 
 service on the Royal George and went through the long 
 siege of Gibraltar. There is a slight thread of romance 
 running through the story that adds to its interest.

Starr, Frederick. Strange Peoples. Heath 40 
 
 In reading books of information for children one is 
 frequently reminded of one of Mr. Robert Burdette's 
 axioms, "It is better not to know so much than it is 
 to know so much that isn't so!" Therefore it is pleas- 
 ant to find a book in regard to the customs and man- 
 ners of strange people written by one who is an au- 
 thority on the subject, and who, furthermore, having 
 avoided the Scylla of ignorance has also escaped the 
 Charybdis of a display of erudition. 
 
 Stevenson, R. L. Kidnapped. Scribner $1.50 
 
 "Being the memoirs of Daniel Balfour in the year 1751: 
 How he was kidnapped and cast away; his sufferings 
 in a desert isle; his journey in the wild Highlands; his 
 acquaintance with Alan Breck Stewart and other noto- 
 rious Highland Jacobites; with all that he suffered at 
 the hands of his uncle, Ebenezer Balfour of Shaws, 
 falsely so-called." 
 
 Stowe, Mrs. H. B. Uncle Tom's Cabin. Houghton 70 
 
 If from no other aspect than that of a historical docu- 
 ment, Uncle Tom's Cabin should be read by young 
 Americans, but its human interest is still intense. 
 
 Tappah, E. M. In the Days of William the Conqueror. 
 Lee • $1.00 
 
 History in that delightful form: the story. 
 
 Tennyson, Alfred, Lord. The Coming of Arthur. (Rolfe 
 Student Series.) Houghton 75 
 
 Tennyson's poetic version of the Arthurian romances 
 presents the highest ideal of chivalry to our young 
 people and should be given after they are familiar with 
 the simpler prose form. 
 
 Thompson, A. R. Gold Seeking on the Dalton Trail. Lit- 
 tle , $1.50 
 
 A wholesome book for city boys, giving them, in im- 
 agination at least, mountain air and appetites, journeys 
 by lake and river, and an acquaintance with men and 
 conditions as they now exist in the Great Northwest. 
 
 Trowbridge, J. T. The Tinkham Brothers Tide-Mill. 
 Lee $1.25 
 
 The successful fight of a family of boys to defend 
 their rig-hts and earn an honest living for their widowed 
 mother, their sister and themselves. Mr. Trowbridge 
 may not be a great writer, but he goes directly to the 
 boyish heart. 
 
 51 
 
Under Sunny Skies. Youth's Companion Series. Ginn 25 
 
 Chestnut Farms, The Macaroni Country, Mount Vesu- 
 vius, Across the Desert — these and other sketches make 
 this little geography reader an interesting book. 
 
 Van Dyke, Henry. The Other Wise Man. Harper $1.00 
 
 A dream of a fourth wise man who also set out to seek 
 the manger-cradle at Bethlehem, but who found his 
 King in deeds of love to suffering humanity. 
 
 Wade, M. H. Our Little Cuban Cousin. Page 60 
 
 The need of information in regard to our recent pro- 
 teges and the difficulty of obtaining it will make this a 
 useful book. 
 
 Waterloo, Stanley. The Story of Ab; a Tale of the Time 
 
 of the Cave-Man. Doubleday $1.50 
 
 The struggle of the cave-men with their puny strength 
 against the great and terrible animals of their day; 
 the discovery of fire, with the comfort it brought; the 
 slow dawn of human tenderness and compassion; these 
 are the main points of the story which the writer has 
 tried to make true to what must have been. 
 
 Wheeler, C. G. Woodworking for Beginners. Putnam $2.50 
 
 "This book does not try to show you a royal road or 
 a short cut to proficiency in architecture, carpentry, cab- 
 inet making, boat-building, toy-making, or any other 
 art or science. It does not aim to cram you with facts, 
 but merely to start you in the right way. It is for 
 those of you who want to take off your coats, roll up 
 your sleeves and really make things." 
 
 Whitney, Mrs. A. D. T. A Summer in Leslie Goldthwaite's 
 Life. Houghton $1.25 
 
 As the preface says, this book makes "the home life the 
 ideal one, and home itself the centre and goal of effort 
 and hope." Likewise it makes the womanly virtues of 
 gentleness, charity and helpfulness those tO be sought 
 by our girls. Moreover, it is a particularly good story. 
 
 Wiggin, K. D. Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. Houghton. .$1.25 
 
 Rebecca goes from Sunnybrook Farm to live with her 
 Aunt Mirandy, a hard, stern woman, who is to help her 
 to an education which is to be "the making" of her. 
 The aunt fails to understand the fearless, honest, im- 
 pulsive, beauty-loving child, and is unconsciously cruel 
 to her. The things which Rebecca thinks of to do are 
 enough to astonish less conservative people than Miss 
 Mirandy, but, also, it would take a heart ever harder 
 than hers to steel itself against Rebecca's charm. 
 
 52 
 
Wiggin, K. D. Story of Patsy. Houghton...... 60 
 
 The 123d thousand of the Story of Patsy has recently 
 been issued. It is a story of the blessed work of a 
 true kindergarten, and it is about a little child, but by 
 no means for little children. It is good, however, for 
 our older boys and girls from sheltered homes to learn 
 that not all children are so fortunate as themselves, 
 and to learn to know the need which pleads with them 
 to "lend a hand." 
 
 Wiggin, K. D. Timothy's Quest. Houghton $1.00 
 
 Mrs. Wiggin has never excelled the humor and pathos 
 of this book. The narrow uprightness, the thrift, fru- 
 gality, the repressed tenderness, the shrewd comment, 
 the independence, the strength of New England country 
 life are all here, and against this background the two 
 children, the delicate, sensitive Timothy, strong only 
 through his love, and riotous, radiant Baby Gay, ap- 
 pear like flowers against rocks. 
 
 Wilkins, M. E. In Colonial Times. Lothrop 50 
 
 The adventures of Ann, the bound girl of Samuel Wales 
 of Braintree in the Province of Massachusetts Bay. 
 Miss Wilkins's genius in depicting New England life 
 and character has not been confined to books for 
 adults.
