Now is the Time for the Book of Knowledge The mother cannot be too careful during the earliest years about the accuracy, truth and beauty of the pictures the child sees. the stories he hears, and the facts with which hIs little mind Is fed. From four to eighteen are the years of greatest need, when the child must create the habit of reading and acquiring knowledge at first hand. During the per iod of school life parents have found 1t necessary to purchase many different books on different subjects. but THE BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE takes the place of all Of these boOks, and has made for the child wonderful selection of the real. ly important and essential knowledge Of the world exactly suited to growing minds

 Pittsburgh, Pa.

We are simply delighted with The Book of Knowledge. The boys have made 1t almost their only reading matter since It came. We all like the books. find there are an amazing number of things In this world that l don't know a thing about, and that If l don't get busy my children will beat me to 1t. The best of 1t is, of course, that they don't know they are being educated. The process is SO pleasant. Thank you for giving me tho op. portunity to have the books in the house They are almost the only ones the ch. dren brought to the country.
