 A comprehensive series of books presenting upon a symmetrical plan the 

 best available literature in the various fields of human learning, selected 

 with a view to the needs of students of all grades in supplementing their 

 school studies and for home reading. It is believed that this project will 

 fully solve the long-standing problem as to what kind of reading shall be
