A new feature, which will render them much more valuable than ever before, is now provided for our Souvenirs. It consists in copying and transferring to the title card of the Souvenir the teacher's photograph. Those ordering Souvenirs with photograph should send a cabinet photograph from which to copy, and make extra remittance of 25 per cent of the regular price for the number of Souvenirs required. There will be no change in the photograph, and the picture on the Souvenir will be an exact copy of the original, but reduced in size. We can, of course, furnish them with or without photograph, as desired. Photographs have always been considered a most appropriate gift for close of school, but they could not often be used on account of the great expense, especially where the school is large. Now that you can procure good photographs in connection with the most appropriate gifts ever devised for presentation to pupils (our Souvenirs) for a mere trifle, none should fail to take advantage of the opportunity. A sample free to any address.

Number to Order. Order at least as many as there are officers, teachers and pupils to be printed
upon them, and as many more as you wish. State definitely the number you
wish, and send, plainly written, the matter you desire printed on the face of first card, together
with the name of each pupil. Be sure that names are correctly spelled and plainly written.
When to Order. Orders can be filled the day they are received, but should be sent a couple
of weeks in advance, if possible, to avoid delay.

Æsop's Fables.- (Large type edition.)

The pages are in large primer type, with all new and hard words placed at the head of each lesson as in the usual primary reading

books.

Vols. I. and II. Illus. Boards, 30 cents; Cloth, 40 cents. I have carefully examined the little volumes entitled "Esop's Fables," by Mara Pratt.. I have used them with my own children following the first reader. The books charm the children and through reading them they learn to love to read.

They can be profitably used as supplementary reading in second grade. and for that purpose I know nothing else in book form equal to them. They are Literature.

O. T. BRIGHT, Co. Supt. of Schools, Chicago.

Grimm's Fairy Tales.

Vol. I. Illus. Boards. Price, 40 cents. Cloth, 50 cents.

As you wished to hear of our experience with the books published by you, Esop's Fables, and Grimm's Fairy Tales, I write that Esop is being read with great interest in my lomest grade September children. Though the most difficult reading ever given that grade, they are making a fine success of reading it; their live interest in the matter putting them through difficulties that would wholly stagger them but for such a stimulus. The Grimm is being read in my Second Grade (second year) with gratifying success.

IN MYTHLAND.

By M. HELEN BECKWITH, Florence Kindergarten, Mass.
Fully illustrated. Boards, 30 cents; Cloth, 35 cents.

Supt. S. F. Porter, Seneca Falls, N. Y.

"I am much pleased with Mythland, more so than with any other supplementary reader for primary grades that I have seen."

Supt. J. W. Babcock, Dunkirk, N. Y.,

"I am pleased to acknowledge the receipt of a copy of In Mythland by Miss Beck with. I have always believed in the adaption of Greek and Roman myths for young pupils. It tends to develop a taste for the best classic literature when the child becomes more mature. When the phraseology of the myth is suited to the young pupil, as Miss Beckwith has done, there will be no trouble in making such books popular and useful."

The Story of Ulysses.

Large Type Edition. Illustrated. Boards, 30 cents; Cloth, 40

cents.

It is an ambitious undertaking to attempt the "Story of Ulysses" for the little ones, in single sentence paragraphs. But this little book contains enough of these ancient stories that are worldrenowned to give a taste of their flavor to the youngest children and create a desire to know them more thoroughly when they are older. The vocabulary is not above the comprehension of the children, the type is large and clear, the illustrations plentiful and the binding serviceable. The teachers who are insatiable in their desire for more reading matter for the children (and who is not?) will gladly welcome this pleasing addition to that which they already have. One hundred and fourteen pages and eleven stories.

Stories of Colonial Children.

Boards, 40 cents, Cloth, 60 cents.

Stories of Colonial Children, by Mara L. Pratt, contains 221 pages, with numerous characteristic illustrations. The author has taken a basis of historical fact for her "stories;" and by her active imagination and attractive style, she has made a book which will please and instruct the children. For by its means, they will get a vivid idea of the men and women as well as the children, of the manners and customs and ways of living, in the early days of our country. They will learn more history than they could from a dry text-book on history; and they will learn it in a way to create an appetite for a fuller knowedge.-Public School Journal.

Stories of Colonial Children came to hand two days ago since which time it has been read with great eagerness and pleasure by my little nine year old boy Ralph and myself. I would like to have every child in the land read the book. Therein is found primary and grammar grade history of the best sort.-O. C. SCOTT, Supt. Schools, Oskalocsa, Iowa.

Americam History Stories.

By MARA L. PRATT, Author of Young Folk's Library of American History, etc. Vols I, II, III, IV.

Price, Boards, 36 cents each; Cloth, 50 cents.

USED IN THE SCHOOLS OF NEW YORK, BOSTON, BROOKLYN, ETC

Your American Histories are, in my opinion among the most valuable aids to the work of introducing History in the lower grades. We are using a quantity of them in Grades III and IV. Reading and language are best developed in connection with what is intensely interesting, and I predict a large demand for books of this sort.

S. T. DUTTON, Supt. of Schools, Brookline, Mass.
