THE SCHOOL OF HOME. 



Let the school of home be a good one. 

 Let the reading at home be such as to 

 quicken the mind for better reading still ; 

 for the school at home is progressive. 



The baby is to be read to. What shall 

 mother and sister and father and brother 

 read to the baby ? 



Babvland. Babyland rhymes and jingles; 

 great big letters and little thoughts and 

 words out of Babyland. Pictures so easy 

 to understand that baby quickly learns the 

 meaning of light and shade, of distance, 

 of tree, of cloud. The grass is green; the 

 sky is blue; the flowers — are they red or 

 yellow ? That depends on mother's house- 

 plants. Baby sees in the picture what she 

 sees in the home and out of the window. 



Babyland, mother's monthly picture- 

 and-j ingle primer for baby's diversion, and 

 baby's mother-help. 



Babies are near enough alike. One Baby- 

 land fits them all; 50 cents a year. Send 

 to D. Lothrop Company, Boston. 



What, when baby begins to read for her- 

 self ? Why AerseM and not /limseli ? Turn 

 about is fair play — If man means man and 

 woman too, why shouldn't little girls in- 

 clude the boys? 



Our Little Men and Women is an- 

 other monthly made to go on with. Baby- 

 land forms the reading habit. Think of a 

 baby with the reading habit ! After a little 

 she picks up the letters and wants to know 

 what they mean. The jingles are jingles 

 still; but the tales that lie below the jingles 

 begin to ask questions. 



What do Jack and Jill go up the hill 

 after water for ? Isn't the water down hill ? 

 Baby is outgrowing Babyland. 



Our Little Men and Women comes 

 next. No more nonsense. There is fun 

 enough in sense. The world is full of in- 

 teresting things; and, if they come to a 

 growing child not in discouraging tangles 



but an easy one at a time, there is fun 

 enough in getting hold of them. That is 

 the way to grow. Our Little Men and 

 Women helps such growth as that. Begin- 

 nings of things made easy by words and 

 pictures; not too easy. The reading habit 

 has got to another stage. 



You may send a dollar to D. Lothrop 

 Company, Boston, for such a school as that 

 for one j^ear. 



Then comes The Pansy with stories of 

 child-life, tales of travel at home and 

 abroad, adventure, history, old and new 

 religion at home and over the seas, and 

 roundabout tales on the International Sun- 

 day School Lesson. 



Pansy the editor; The Pansy the maga- 

 zine. There are thousands and thousands 

 of children and children of larger growth 

 all over the country who know about Pansy 

 the writer, and The Pansy the magazine. 

 There are thousands and thousands more 

 who will be glad to know. 



Send to D. Lothrop Company, Boston, a 

 dollar a year for The Pansy. 



The reading habit is now pretty well es- 

 tablished; not only the reading habit, but 

 liking for useful reading; and useful read- 

 ing leads to learning. 



Now comes Wide Awake, vigorous, 

 hearty, not to say heavy. No, it isn't 

 heavy, though full as it can be of practical 

 help along the road to sober manhood and 

 womanhood. Full as it can be? There is 

 need of play as well as of work; and Wide 

 Awake has its mixture of work and rest 

 and play. The work is all toward self-im- 

 provement; so is the rest; and so is the play. 



Send D. Lothrop Company, Boston, $2.40 

 a year for Wide Awake. 



Specimen copies of all the Lothrop mag- 

 azines for fifteen cents; any one for five — 

 in postage stamps.
