"A Mother's List of Books for Children"



ZOLLINGER, GULIELMA (Pseudonym of WILLIAM Z. GLAD WIN).
*The Widow O'Callaghan's Boys.
Illustrated by Florence Scovel Shinn.
McClurg. 1.50
An account of seven lads, who, after their father's death, help their
brave little mother to keep the family together. Simply told; full of
sterling common-sense and unselfish precept. The colored illustrations
are delightful.
The staunch widow and her seven sons are an admirable (p. 140)
object-lesson in faithfulness to the claims of small things.
Quite inimitable is Mrs. O'Callaghan's Irish way of putting
things, which furnishes the salt to the solid nutriment of the
story.--_The Nation._


_TWELVE YEARS OF AGE_ (p. 141)
_The True University of these days is a collection of books._
CARLYLE.

AMUSEMENTS AND HANDICRAFT
When Youth and Pleasure meet
To chase the glowing Hours with flying feet.
BYRON.

BOND, A.R.
The Scientific American Boy.
Munn. 2.00
In the course of this camping story directions are given for making
tents and other appurtenances of camp-life, bridges, windmills,
ice-boats, sledges, et cetera.
