already familiar with "All Adrift. Snug

There is only one man in America that
could write such books, and he is Oliver

Stern, of course. For more than quar-
ter of century this popular writer has
been devoting his pen to the entertain
ment and lettering of Young people; and
of all the books that he has written. this
new series is perhaps the most valuable,
because it seeks to prove that the clerical
ranks are overfull; the young men with
college education are above everything
but professional labor and that the pros
tessional ranks are also overcrowded; and
that. therefore, boys ought to be brought
up to the kind of business that will al
ways yield a support. Oliver Optic has,
then, purpose in these books, and he
goes to work in stories which deal with
