What Are Your Children Reading? 



One of the greatest, if not the greatest, problems in the up-bringing 

 of Children is WHAT TO GIVE THEM TO READ. 



Almost as soon as a child knows its ABC it has a desire to read 

 like " father," and it is here that difficulties begin. 



Most children are ready to learn, but they do not want to be con- 

 stantly reminded of " lessons." They want to be interested and 

 amused, not forced to acquire knowledge. Are you giving your 

 children something to read that will help them now, in school, 

 and in after life ? 



The Children's Encyclopaedia 



Will help you as it has helped thousands of others. 



Let your little ones peep into the pages of THE CHILDREN'S 

 ENCYCLOPAEDIA and they will never want to be idle again. 

 They will find a new interest in old surroundings. They will 

 begin to think for themselves instead of asking their elders to do 

 the thinking for them. 



The 8 Large, Cloth-bound Volumes (91 inches by bl inches) put before YOUR child 

 a mass o? interesting information and stories in such a way that it learns without 



knowing it is learnmg. 



By the means of over 8,033 Beautiful Illustrations, many of them coloured, it 

 shows in pictures whai the text describes in wjrds.

 with things that every child wants to know, and describing them in plain, 

 simple language that any child can understand and appreciate :^
