Fifteen Great Departments
The
ook'of Knowledge
The Children's Encyclopaedia
Superbly Illustrated with 9,000 Pictures 350 Magnificent Colored Plates
FIFTEEN GEEAT 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 abuut, adventure, which arrives and brings hack 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. Finley, of the College of the City of Kcw York, introduction says:
"Suppose a hoy often were to spend fifteen minutes a day reading these pages, . . .he would at 13
know more about the earth and tha life on it then the wisest men knew a few generations ago."
A VELL-ItOUNDED EDUCATION
A well-rounded education cannot be obtnined in
the school room alone. The boy or girl whose prog
ress Is the most rapid will almost always be the one
whoso reading has been carefully selected at home.
Tho editors of the BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE have
rendored this great service to childhood. No wise
parent will neglect the opportunity offered by thlB
work to study the disposition and capabilities of his
child. Dl ninny rases a child's life work may be
determined ly the possession of these books.
THH THKEEFOLIt INFORMATION
The important facts in all the leading articles are
indelibly impressed upon the mind in three differ
ent ways. First the siinitunry at the bead of each
article;, then the wonderfully Interesting article it
self, then the pictures Illustrating It, with the seev
cral lines of terse and vivid description.
THE MTKItAltV DIGEST SAYS OF THE ROOK
OF KNOWLEDGE:
"It Is an exhaustive work and 'a notable example
of editorial skill In the choice of topics nnd 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 the uses of such a work would be
to assist parents, their sons and daughters In find
ing out whether a child's natural bent be toward
science, mechanics, trade or literature."
LET THE CHILDREN DECIDE

trated booklet mailed free giving the contents of
esth of the Departments of Knowledge. The valua
ble pamphlet, "The Mind of a Crild," also presented.

THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD IN SIMPLE
LANGUAGE
The lost art of simplicity the art of presenting
profound truths in the simple language which a
child can understand has been discovered by the
editors of the BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE. Tho simple
clear and convincing style which appeals esually to
the adult mind Is the secret of the great drawing
power of this remarkable work. It quickens and
stimulates though't and in a marked degree wakens
interest In the world of ideas. Not only facts but
iclcnls are absorbed, and learning male a real delight
