Few realize that the gentlemen who

sideration is only one of ii vast army of

States over 1000 statesmen are employed
on books selling for over $50 set. Dur
ing the last year, Notwithstanding the
business depression and the presidential
campaign, a conservative estimate places
the amount paid for these subscription
books at over $35, 100000. The books
represented are of course the best in the
world. They include the work of Scott,
Balzac, Dickens, Hugo, Rudyasd Kipling,
and many other novelists; the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica, Century and Standard
Dictionaries, the Peoples Encyclopedia,
John Clark Ridpath'S Universal History,
and other standard works showing con-
clusively that the cause of enlightened
education was not allowed to fall by the
wayside.
During this year many new standard
works have been announced. There is a
healthy tendency towards wider hori-
zon and more complete understanding
OF the world and its heroes. 50 John l..
