Books for the Children Care must be taken in the stories we give to growing children that evil is always overcome. Iiook friends are very real to boys and girls and in­ fluence their character. There should be effort and conflict in their stories and daring endurance and steadfast purpose. Stories in which the child hero acts rightly are particularly valuable, because what a boy or girl has done appeals more directly to the child's own power. He feels though he may not express it even to himself that what other children have done he can do. RM Cr*-js Ball Blur will wa.*h say of our Painless Methods of Extracting Teeth.
