which gives the book scarcely less value than an avowed autobiography.

"Mononia is drawn with all Mr. McCarthy's ancient
skill." _London Outlook_.

"Beautiful in every sense is this 'Mononia.' It is a work
that we could expect from no other author, for it is largely
reminiscent. So, besides its attractiveness as a romance, the
book is attractive as an informal historical document. Read in
either of these lights, it will be found delightful."--_Boston
Journal_.

"Altogether a good story.... Mononia is full of beauty,
tenderness, and that sweet and wholesome common sense which
is so refreshing when found in a woman."--_The Pilot_ (Boston).

"The description of the affection of Mononia and Philip is
a piece of literary splendor."--_Boston Courier_.

"For those who would reject its historical and autobiographic
phase, there remains the old-fashioned love romance, full
of fine Irish spirit, which is always refreshing."--_Mail
and Express_.

TUSKEGEE: ITS STORY & ITS WORK
By MAX BENNETT THRASHER

_With an Introduction by_ BOOKER T. WASHINGTON 12mo, cloth, decorative,
248 pages, 50 Illustrations, $1.00

THE TUSKEGEE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE, at Tuskegee, Alabama, is
one of the most uniquely interesting institutions in America. Begun,
twenty years ago, in two abandoned, tumble-down houses, with thirty
untaught Negro men and women for its first students, it has become
one of the famous schools of the country, with more than a thousand
students each year. Students and teachers are all of the Negro
race. The Principal of the school, Mr. Booker T. Washington, is the
best-known man of his race in the world to-day.

In "Tuskegee: Its Story and its Work," the story of the school is
told in a very interesting way. He has shown how Mr. Washington's
early life was a preparation for his work. He has given a history of
the Institute from its foundation, explained the practical methods
by which it gives industrial training, and then he has gone on to
show some of the results which the institution has accomplished. The
human element is carried through the whole so thoroughly that one
reads the book for entertainment as well as for instruction.
