FIFTEEN GREAT DEPARTMENTS OF KNOWLEDGE
The Fifteen Great Departments supply the needs and exercise nil 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 stimulate eager young minds. The reason for including every department will be easily
apparent after examining the work.
President John II. Fink?, of the College of the City of New 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."
THE WISDOM OF THE
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 most 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 noglect the opportunity offered by this
work to study the disposition and capabilities of his
child. In ninny rases a child's life work may be
tlcterinined by the possession of these books.
TUB THREEFOLD INFORMATION
The Important facts In all the leading articles are
Indelibly Impressed upon the mind in three differ
ent ways. First the summary 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
Ol' KNOWLEDGE:
"It Is an exhaustive work and a notable example
of editorial skill in the choice of topics and their
treatment. Adultu 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 the uses of such a work would be
to assist parents, their sons and daughters In find
ing out whether a child's nntural bent be toward
science, mechanics, trade or literature."
LET THE CHILDREN DECTDE

trated booklet mailed free giving the contents of

power of this remarkable work. It quickens and
