The Book of Knowledge
1 The Children's Encyclopaedia
Superbly Illustrated with 9,000 Pictures ' 350 Magnificent Colored Plates
FIFTEEN GREAT DEPARTMENTS OF KNOWLEDGE
The Fifteen Great Departments supply the needs and exercise all the faculties of the growing mind.
Natural Science, which lights up nature; delightful history, mechanics and arts; beautiful places to be'
seen or dreamed about, adventure, which arrives and brings .back a treasure; real people more interesting
than giants and cleverer than faries; things to make and do which delightfully occupy busy hands all
satisfy and stimuiate eager young minds. The reason for including every department will be easily
apparent after examining the work.
, President John H. Finley, of the College of the City of Kcw York, introduction says:
"Suppose a boy of ten were to spend fifteen minutes a day reading these pages, . . . he would at, 13
know more about the earth and the life on it then the wisest men knew a few generations ago."
IN SIMPLE)
A WELL-ROUNDED EDUCATION
A well-rounded education cannot be obtained in
the school room alone. The boy or girl whose prog
ress is the Aiiost rapid will almost always be the one
whose reading has been carefully selected at home.
The editors of the BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE have
rendered this great service to childhood. No wise
parent will neglect the opportunity offered by this
work to study the disposition and capabilities of his
child. In nuiny cases n child's llfo work may "lie
determined by the possession of these books.
' THK THREEFOLD INFORMATION
The important facts In all the leading articles are
indelibly impressed upon the mind In three differ
ent ways. First the sutiumiry at the head of each
article, then the wonderfully interesting article It
self, then the pictures illustrating it, with the seev
eral lines of terse and vivid description.
THE LITERARY DIGEST SAYS OF THE BOOK
OF KNOWLEDGE:
"it Is an exhaustive work and a notable example
of editorial skill In the choice of topics and their
treatment. Adults as well as children will be fasci
nated alike by the luminous text and the Illustra
tions. As. has already been pointed out In these
columns, one of tH9 oft Men? awork would be
to assist parents, their sons and daughters in find
ing oiit whether a child's natural bent be toward
science, mechanics, trade or literature."
