Give Your Children Q Good Cyclic
pedia.


In many of our schools it is customary
for the teachers to give out subjects on
which the pupils ar9 expected to furnish
information the following day. During
the past term a teacher in one of the
Brooklyn schools has given out the follow
ing subjects with request to the pupils to
furnish little essay on each. -.
Those pupils who had access to a good
Cyolopedia at home had no trouble in OBJ
tanning full information on all these sub.
jects.
But how about those children who had
no Cyclopedia to go TO? We fancy it would
bother some of the fathers and mothers to
tell their children much about these sub.
jects. In short. nobody and nothing but
a Cyclopedia could answer them all.
We have looked them up, and find that
every one of these questions is fully, clear
ly. and entertainingly explained in the In.
ternatiOnal.
