r, and shows how the spirit and
aims of the soldiers' families have been the same as those of the
soldiers themselves. Self-control, endurance, and cheerfulness at home
are proved to be as much a part of true bravery as fearlessness in
battle. Since the soldier's part in the War has been held closely to
everyone's attention, the reading of this story will supply a balancing
view of the other side of war; and the pupils' perspective of the whole
cannot fail to gain in scope.

Books which may be commended to the teacher, for descriptions of
various aspects of the Great War, are: Hay's _The First Hundred
Thousand_; Nicolas's _Campaign Diary of a French Officer_; Aldrich's _A
Hilltop on the Marne_; Hall's _High Adventure_ and _Kitcheners Mob_;
Buswell's _Ambulance No. 10_; Haigh's _Life in a Tank_; Stevenson's
_From "Poilu" to "Yank"_; two anonymous books, _The Retreat from Mons_
and _Friends of France_; Paine's _The Fighting Fleets_; and Root and
Crocker's _Over Periscope Pond_.

For children's reading, we suggest Mrs. Perkins's _The Belgian Twins_,
Sara Cone Bryant's _I am an American_, Thwaites and Kendall's _History
of the United States_, Tappan's _Little Book of the War_, and such
compilations as _Stories of Patriotism_ and _The Patriotic Reader_.
