No printed periodical can take the place Of pa
rent, pastor, or school-teacher; but good maya
zine can supplement their work and influence to
wonderful degree. In view of this il is not
extravagan5 to say that-instead OF Can we af-
ford TO take ST. NIcHoLAs?"--the question of
every earnest household in Englishspeaking
countries, to day, should be ..Can we afford moi
to take ST. NIcHoLAs?''
The magazine, during its eleven happy years of
existence, under the editorial charge Of
MARY MAPES DODGE,
has grown familiar to hundreds of thousands of
young readers; aud their interest and intelligent
enjoyment have constantly inspired the editor
and publishers to fresh effort. To-day, its
strength Is in its wholesome growth, its sympathy
with young life, its hearty recognition of the
movement of events and its steadily increasing
literary and pictorial resources. The following
are some Of the good things already secured for
