Literature on Child-rearing 79 



In addition to the foregoing, there is beginning to come from the press 

 a mass of juvenile literature that promises to furnish most practical 

 inspiration and guidance to the juvenile mind on the farm. Much of 

 this new rural life literature may be had for the asking or for the mere 

 price of publication. The following are recommended : 

 The Rural School Leaflet. Edited by Alice G. McCloskey, and 

 issued under the general direction of L. H. Bailey at Ithaca, N.Y. 

 The Country Life Publications, issued by D. W. Working, Superintend- 

 ent of Agricultural Extension, Morgantown, W.Va. 

 The series published by A. B. Graham, Superintendent of the Extension 



Department, Ohio University, Columbus. 



The annual reports of County Superintendent O. J. Kern, Rockford, 

 HI., and of County Superintendent George W. Brown, Paris, 111. 

 The Wisconsin Arbor and Bird Day Annual, issued by State Superin- 

 tendent C. P. Gary, Madison, Wis. 



The Extension Departments of many of the state universities and 

 nearly all of the state agricultural colleges are now issuing a series of 

 small pamphlets on such matters as stock judging, grain breeding, soil 

 testing, and home economics. This literature should be given the 

 widest possible circulation in the country home, as it will prove helpful 

 both to the young and to the parents in their direction of the young. 



Literature on Child-rearing 



Parents who are seriously in earnest in the matter of developing the 

 lives of their children will 6nd great assistance and much inspiration 

 through the reading of books and magazines on the child-rearing prob- 

 lems. In fact, it may be put down as a practical certainty that the work 

 of child training cannot go on effectively and continue in its interest 

 except one have some aids of the kind just named. Therefore, the in- 

 terested parent should cast about for the books and magazines that 

 promise to serve in the solution of the particular problems at hand. It 

 happens that the author has collected a large number of books and peri- 

 odicals of this class and that he has made a somewhat critical examination 

 of them.
