mentary Law" By Harriette r. Shat
tuck 1Smo; cloth, SO cents. Lee &
Shepard, Boston.
Mrs. Shattuck's previous book, 1.-The Wo-
mans Manual" has not only been adopted
as an authority by nearly every woman s
organization in this country, but by many
clubs comprising men only. The present
book aims to supplement the Manual by
providing in condensed form resume

THE DISTRICT SCHOOL AS IT WAS.
BY Warren E. Burton. New edition.
Edited by Clifton johnson, author of
1.-THE New England Country" "Coun-
try Clouds and Sunshine" what They
Say In New England" etc. With Illus
trations. Cloth, SIPS. Lee & Shepard.
Boston.
Three score years ago this work was
first given to the world. 1t was a simple
but very vivid picture of what the dis
trict" school was then. Latterly Mr.. Cliff
ford johnson has given several works on
New England that have justly attracted
considerable attention, and now has edited
this new edition of charming old book,
Of all New Englanders wherever they may
happen to be. The book has been out of
print for so many years that most people
had forgotten it, but it will be strange If
this fine new edition does not find a large
sale. The most striking feature of the
book is the reproduction of the pictures,
the old type and in some cases whole pages
of the old "speler" are reproduced.
Surely the older generations will find
great delight in this volume, for as time
slips away these "reminiscences have an in
creasing interest and value, and the hope
of the author as expressed In the preface
to the original edition is certainly realized,
that 1t will ever be of historical use to
rising generations, educated under better
auspices as exhibiting true and graphic
picture of the district school as it was"
The chapter entitled "A Supplication to
the People of the United States" is so odd
and the list of mispronounced words is so
characteristic of the country folk of fifty
or seventy-five years ago that it is well
worth preserving.

This is very strange and very strong
story. 1t is romance of the Scottish
Covenanters, that strict, brave band, who
died in their tracks rather than break the
faith, men whose influence in the great
affairs of the world is now everywhere
acknowledged. 1t Is story or the year
TERRIBLE the scenes opening IN 1000, with
peculiarly vivid picture OF the pursuit OF
the flying Covenanters by the dragons.
