Children's S Literature.
WHAT ''sT. NICHOLAS" HAS DONE FOR
BOYS AND GIRLS.

Victor Hugo calls this the "woman's
century" and he might have added
that 1t is the children's century as
well, for never before in the worlds
history has so much thought been paid
to children-their schools, their books,
their pictures and their toys. Child
hood, as we understand it, is a recent
discovery.
Up to the time of the issue of the st.
Nicholas Magazine seventeen years ago
literature and c.ildren's magazines
were almost contradictory terms, but
the new periodical started out with the
idea that nothing was too good for
children the result has been a iuven-
lie magazine genuine with conscien-
tiOus purpose, the greatest writers
contributing to it, with the best artists
and engravers helping to beautify it,
and everything tuned TO the key note
of youth.
1t has been the special aim of 81.
Nicholas to supplant unhealthy litera-
ture with stories of living and health
full interest. 1t will not do to take
fascinating bad literature out of bows
hands and give them in its place Mrs.
Barbauld and Peter Farley, or the
work of writer's who think that any
"good-y" talk will do for children, but
they must have strong, interesting
reading, with the blood and sinew of
real life in reading that will waken
them to closer observation of the
best things about them.
In the seventeen years of its life ST.
Nicholas has not only elevated the
children, but it has also elevated the
tone of contemporary children's llitera-
ture as we'll Many of its stories, like
Mrs. Burnett'S Little Lord Fauntle-
roy" have become classic. 1t is not
too much to say that almost every not
able young peoples story now produc.
ed in America first seeks the light in
the pages of that magazine.
The year 1891 will prove once more
that mo household where there are
children is complete without ST. Nicho-
las E" J. T. Trowhridge, Noah Brooks
Charles Dudley Warner, and many
well known writers are to contribute
during this coming year One cannot
put the spirit of st. Nicholas into
but the publishers are
glad to send full announcement of
the features tor 1891 and a single copy
to any address of any person mention
ing this notice. The magazine costs
$500 year. Address The Century
