Rural School Leaflet 



I think boys and girls in the country should have some reading that is 

 interesting and amusing, if at the same time it gives the education that 

 all good books should give. I am therefore going to suggest that as soon 

 as possible you will try to own a copy of the " Just So Stories " by Rud- 

 yard Kipling. This book is published by Doubleday, Page & Co., New 

 York City, and costs $1.20. It is a book that you will like not only 

 while you are young, but throughout the coming years. I have watched 

 with interest the enjoyment of a number of scholarly persons listening 

 to these stories read aloud. Very young children like them. The older 

 folk like them. The next time father or mother wants to buy a book 

 for you, this may be the best one of all. It has a bit of nonsense in it, 

 which is always good if of the right sort. It is a work that gives young 

 persons a taste for good literature. 



POULTRY 

 Alice G. McCloskey 



Long ago many farmers kept poultry from year to year without 

 profit. Many persons now know that in order to be successful in poultry- 

 raising one must become a student of poultry and have knowledge of 

 breeds of poultry, feeding, housing, and the like. It is a most interesting 

 study and many boys and girls in New York State are giving it much 

 attention. 



Any one who works with either animals or plants must develop keen 

 observation in relation to them. We would suggest, therefore, that boys 

 and girls in public schools begin to make observations on the poultry
