All parents, and those interested in the education of children, know how difficult 

 it is to secure just the right kind of reading for them. Childhood is the decisive

 the development of character. In this library the work that you would do yourself, 

 if you had the time, money and literary judgment, has been done for you by the best 

 critics who have spent their lives in the study of literature and in whose opinion you 

 may have perfect confidence.

There Are No Better Books for the Children 



This is the first time that a collection of such unusual merit has been offered 

 at a price so low. The editorial work that had to be done is enormous. 

 The literature of the entire world has been drawn upon and the selections 

 have been made from thousands of volumes. This set of books constitutes 

 a complete library for a child, one in which pride will be taken and that 

 will encourage the habit of good reading. We have decided to include with it, ay 

 an introductory offer, A FULL YEAR'S SUBSCRIPTION TO THE WORLD'S 

 WORK. You mav use both as a gift, send the magazine to a friend, or if you 

 are already a subscriber, have your subscription extended.
