st. Nicholas In 8

For almost quarter of a century
for twenty-five years, to be exact
st. Nicholas Magazine has been bear
ing its welcome messages each
month to the young people of the
land. 1t began existence in 1873,
consolidating with it IN it's early
years all of the leading children's
periodicals of that day, sThe Little
Corporal" "Children's Hour" sThe
School. Day Magazine" and "Our
Young Folks" among them. The
last children's magazine to be merged
in st. Nicholas was "Wide Awake"
which was purchased and consol-
idated with it only a few years ago.
1t has been fortunate in securing
contributions for its pages from the
leading writer's and artists of the
language, while it has given to its
readers many works that have be.
come imperIshable classics in juve-
nile literature. st. Nicholas has had
for many years a large circulation in
Europe, and it is said to be read by
many royal children. When the
children of the Prince of Wales
family were young the Prince took
six copies for his household, and the
present crown Prince of Italy grew
up Il constant reader of st. Nicholas.
The magazine is a help to those
that have the care and up.bringing
of children, in that it is full Of
brightness and interest and tends to
cultivate high aspirations, without
being "preachy" and prosy and lug
ging in too apparent moralizing. Its
readers are always loyal to it, and
they will be glad to learn what has
been provided for their delectation
during the coming year. The lead
ing feature will be a delightful &C.
ries of letters written to young PEG.
pie from Samoa by Robert Louis
Stevenson. These describe the
picturesque life of the lamented 70.
mancer in his island home, and give
interesting portraits of his native
retainers. Rudyard Kipling, whose
first Jungle Stories appeared in st.
Nicholas, will write for it in 1895,
and James Whitcomb Riley. the
Hoosier poet, will contribute a de-
lightful poem, "The Dream March of
the Children" to the Christmas
number. The serial stories repre-
sent many favorite names. "The
Swordmaker's Son" is a story of boy.
life in Palestine at the time of the
founding of Christianity. 1t is writ.
ten by w. o. Stoddard, whose care.
full study of the history of the times
and whose travels over the scenes Of
the story have enabled him to pre-.
sent wildly the local coloring. "The
Prize Cup" Is one of j. B. Trow.
BRIDGES best stories. Albert
Stearns, whose "Chris and the Won.
derful Lamp was one of the great
successes of the past year, has writ
ten another story that promises
much. In "Sindbad, Smith & Co.."
he has again gone to the Arabian
Nights for inspiration. An Amer
lean boy enters into partnership with
that greatest of seafaring adventur-
ers, Sindbad, and the fun and the
complications that this brings about
can be imagined. These are but a
few of the features. During the
coming year $1,000 will be given in
prizes. Full particulars concerning
it will be found in the November
number.

Percentage Of lliiteracy in the U. =,

John Hyde, who is recognized as
n of the ablest and most accurate
statisticians in the country, has com.
piled statistics al to illiteracy in the
United States which show that rot.
withstanding the ~liberality and scope
Of the school system in the United
States, there is a considerable por-
ton of the population which is in
need of educational advantages.
There are 1873 persons in every 1000
in the country at large who are un-
able to read and write. The ratio of
~illiteracy in some of the large
states in the Union is as follows:
Massachusetts with 81 illiterate in.
habitants per thousand, Connecticut
SO, New York SIS, Pennsylvania SO,
Ohio So, Michigan 50, Wisconsin 81,
Indiana SO, Illinois 50, Minnesota and
North Dakota each 80, California "
and Missouri 81. It's probable that
the foreign element increases the
percentage of illiteracy, and the
number of native. born Americans
who are illiterate will be found far
fewer than lss in 1000. The figures
given for North Dakota show about
one person in II who is illiterate.
This is a comparatively light per.
centage of il~literacy. but with the
magnificent educational endowment
of the state it should be even small.
