Macdonald is the compiler of this
selected photography of an increasing

on children is the careful attention
paid to titles of books and articles in
foreign languages About one-th1rd
of the titles are French, German,
Spanish Italian, Danish, and Russian,
and the brief explanatory notes in
English on these foreign articles are
especially useful for American teach

is represented in the photography.
Not merely backyard children. but all
types of children that deviate from the
normal. in any way; exceptionally
bright children; the blind and the
deaf; the hayward child; the 1mn1i-
grant child; the boys and girls in
