"But, as Just remarked, everybody

The very best weeklies for young
people that VIC have over seen are
the Youths Companion and the
Young Peoples Weekly. The
Youths Companion has cheered,
helped, and ennobled millions of
young people in the rs years of it's
existence and was never better than
now. 1t is published at Boston,
Mass; price, $1.75 per year. A
cheaper paper, hence a smaller one
and with contributors less famous,
but which is filled with inspiring,
helpful and healthful matter, is the
Young Peoples Weekly, published
by the David G. Cook Publishing
Co., SO Washington St., Chicago.
The price is rs cents per year. If
you cannot get the Youths Compan-
ion, get the Young Peoples Weekly.
This unsolicited recommendation is
given for the benefit of Progressive

never more popular than now.
Cary High School is admirably To-
Gated and has made remarkably rapid
progress.
The merits of Greensboro Female
College have been known to three
generations.
Claremont College has a very beau
tiful and healthful location and is
ably conducted.
Horner Military School stands in
the very front rank of North Caro-
lima boys schools.
Yadkin Valley Institute, only a

BOOK NOTICE.

The True Citizen. How to Become
One. By w. {. Markwick, d. d 3,
and w. A. Smith, A. B. Cloth, 259
pages. Price, 60 cents. American
Book Company, New York, Gin
cinnati, and Chicago.
1t is universally conceded that
ethics and civics should go hand in
hand, and yet pupils go through our
schools by thousands without hav
ing their attention definitely called
to the close and real relation subsist-
ing between the best citizenship and
a noble personal character. To meet
this end "'The True Citizen" has
been prepared for use as a supple
mentary reader for pupils in the
higher grammar grades. 1t aims to
awaken the higher life Of the young
and to open to their view those larger
possibilities which inhere in them
but which are frequently allowed to
lie dormant, thus diminishing the
life forces both in the individual as
such and in his relation TO the ma
ton. In this way it is hoped to
show how the natural faculties and
moral Instincts are jointly developed,
so as to produce both a well-rOunded
manhood and a citizenship of the
highest type. The plan of the book
is simple in the extreme and consists
of thirty-nine chapters, one for each
week, which treat of the develop
ment of the natural faculties and
moral powers. The book is in four
: general divisions, treating respect
lively of The Child, The Youth, The
Man, and The Citizen. We sincerely
hope that it will be widely read by
the pupils of our schools.
