in Admirable Style, caIcu-

Juvenile Readers.

BY Harry A. Sherman and

tS.6o.
reader well Informed
H in the worlds literature
. places the Bible first In
any list of books. So. when au-
thorities such as Prof. Kent and
Henry Sherman collaborate TO is
sue a collection of stories from
the Bible they are sure to be re-
ceived with great respect.
It is evident the authors have
spent considerable time in max
ing the selections and transla tons.
The style OF the book is admir-
able. and it's value Is further en-
hanced by sixteen richly colored
plates and sixteen in duotone.
While the text OF the Bible has
been followed, the language is
such as to be comprehensible to
the average child.
The authors have exhibited
far-reaching knowledge, and ,the
impulse that moved them to gath
er this splendid material, and ar
range II in. such simple form will
receive the hearty commendation
Of every parent interested in the
elevation Of morals through high
grade literature.
Literature, to be at all intelligi.
BILE, must be studied with the
Bible as a starting point. The
authors. recognizing this. have
written in such a manner as to
excite the child's curiosity. and
thus encourage him to study the
Bible itself.
The book appears at an oppor.
tune time-that is, just preceding
the Christmas holidays. and the
child that finds this book in his
Christmas stocking" will be a
lucky youngster indeed

whose authority on the subject Is
beyond dispute, and whose repu.
tation as "a writer Is of long
standing. No detail Is too insig-
nificant to- be explained. from the
selection OF a visiting card to
the mystery Of eating corn on tho
cob. Matters of clothes for men
and women are treated with the
same fullness of information and
accuracy of taste as are questions
OF the furnishing of their house
and the training of their minds
TO social intercourse. But there
is no exaggeration OF minor de.
tails at the expense Of the more
important spirit of personal con-
duct and attitude of mind. To
dwell on formal trivialities, the
author holds Is like measuring
tho letters of the signboards by
the roadside instead Of profitina
by the directions they offer.
She would have US know that lit
is not the people who make small
technical mistakes or even blum
ders who are barred from the
paths of good society, but those
of sham and pretense whose
yeneered vulgarity at every step
tramples the flowers in the gar
den Of cultivation" To her mind,
the structure of etiquette is com.
parable to that of house, Of
which the foundation Is ethics
and the rest good taste, correct
