A First Book in Geology.
Heath. .60

It is difficult to see how this subject could be made more interesting
to beginners. The fully illustrated volume is of a handy size to be
carried on geological tramps.

STORIES

The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me just as if I
had gained a new friend. When I read over a book I have perused
before, it resembles the meeting with an old one.
GOLDSMITH.

ALCOTT, L.M.
Little Men.
Illustrated by R.B. Birch.
Little. 2.00

This sequel to Little Women tells of the home school which Jo and her
husband loved and worked for, and from which they sent out into the
world, as men, the boys who had sorely needed their loving care.

BARBOUR, R.H.
For the Honor of the School.
Appleton. 1.50

A satisfactory account of modern boarding-school life. Its standards
are good and its tone healthy and sound. There are descriptions of a
cross-country race, a foot-ball game, a base-ball match, and
interscholastic track athletics. Lads, however, enjoy the writings of

BARBOUR, R.H.
Four in Camp.
Appleton. 1.50

The compiler of this List believes that young people as well as old

spent in a summer camp for boys in the New Hampshire woods is
pleasantly diverting. Its standards make for self-control, courage,
honesty, and good-fellowship.

A Young Macedonian in the Army of Alexander the Great.
Putnam. 1.25

Young folks of today will like to read of the lad who took part in the
great struggle between Macedonia and Persia. Alexander's visit to
Jerusalem, recorded by Josephus, is related, and mention is made of
Demosthenes and Diogenes.

COOPER, J.F.
The Pilot.
Houghton. 1.00

From the boy's point of view, any legitimate need for concealment
gives an added charm to a narrative, and this account of the secret
expedition of John Paul Jones to the English coast is no exception.

The Spy.
