HIS series provides separate books for the third, fourth and fifth years, and is the first to provide a textbook to be placed in the hands of third year pupils. The prices of the books are exceedingly low, and the books themselves are unusually small in size and so light in weight that they can easily be handled by young children. The series makes the study of oral English as systematic as the study of written English, and makes it precede the study of written English, as it normally does in school. It not only teaches the pupil to speak correctly, but by training his voice extends the influence of the cultured and refined home. It lays the foundation of certain desirable. habits of speech-fluency, flexibility of

voice, pure tone, correctness of pronunciation, and distinctness of enunciation.

The work is very simple, interesting, and stimulating. The games in Book One give the children power through relaxation, through using linguistic forms as they use other play material. Progressive training in letter writing is provided in Book Two. The series teaches the delightful art of oral story telling by furnishing stories for reproduction, with numerous suggestions and directions. The work in dramatization develops the child's powers of imagination and expression. These books are of particular value to children of foreign parentage.

DIXON'S

There is, at the surface, infinite variety of things; at the centre there is simplicity and unity of cause.

-Emerson.

The outer surfaces of the Dixon Pencils are made in an almost infinite variety of shapes and colors, but at the centre they are very simple because they consist mainly of clay and graphite. It is in the blending of these two ingredients, however, that lies the secret of the success of

Graphite

Pencils

Ask your supply committee to get you DIXON'S when buying
colored crayons or pencils for school work. Tell your pupils to ask
for DIXON'S. They make your work easier, and the children's
work better. They have good colors, smooth leads, are easily sharp-
ened, retain their points well, and produce better work. The supply
committee may forget to say DIXON'S. You remind them. Insist
on DIXON'S. Explain why. Other teachers prefer DIXON'S.
You will if you try them. If you will tell us your position in the
school world, and also mention this publication, samples will be
sent you.

"Worth While" Supplementary Reading

Indian Stories

By MAJOR CICERO NEWELL.

(Ready in March)

A unique and extremely interesting book about real Indians, by one who lived among them for years; the habits of life, quaint beliefs and traditions of the Indians of the plains are set forth here for boys and girls of the fifth and sixth grades with all the charm of a personal narrative. The four-page, practical vocabulary of Indian terms will be eagerly welcomed by Boy Scouts.

In Fableland

Training Department, Kansas City, Mo.

(45 cents)

These wonderful old fables of Æsop, re-told in bright modern dialogue, make a book that every child in the second and third grades ought to read and will surely love to read. The moral lesson of each of the fables is not obtrusive, but is nevertheless effective. Illustrated by charming pen and ink drawings, printed in color.

and money, women are in the direct line of promotion. If men are getting more than they are worth, they are riding to a fall. The suffragists maintain, in effect, that that is how the case does stand; that the women are not getting their dues, and that a good deal should be subtracted from the men and handed over to them. If that should be done, doubtless woman's progress would slacken up, and men, scourged on by tribulation, might begin to forge ahead again. Certainly, if women are to do men's work, in the end they will get men's rewards, such as they are.-Harper's Weekly.
