In the books of this series the love story has little place, and into it sex problems do not enter. Its readers have not reached an age when such things are of serious moment, and there is enough good literature for them without dragging in or even admitting stories of passion and those that make their strongest appeal to the attraction of one sex for another. However, there is an abundance of sentiment, and the home feelings are recognized again and again; the love of parents for each other and for their offspring, the love of brother and sister, friendship, the pure affection of young people, love of home, of God, of country, all are subjects of the finest selections the language contains. Such are to be found in abundance.

In the lists more latitude has been allowed, and while nothing has been included that may excite anything but the purest emotions, yet room has been made for many of the great novels that are real studies of the lives and characters of adults. These books, really written for older people, will have their message for the young, a message that will be amplified and perhaps changed entirely, when, after many years, the book is read again with no lessened interest. Les Miserables was read once by a young boy whose attention was caught and held so strongly by the exciting story that he held himself through all the long, prosy meanderings with which Hugo has delayed the march of his plot. Some years later the same boy, grown to a college student, read Les Miserables again with even greater interest. He remembered the story quite well, but the prosy meanderings had to his broadened intelligence become wonderful pictures of life, and even the book-long description of the Battle of Waterloo was fascinating, though its only function in the story was to say that one man saved another man's life. The boy, now a man in middle life, read Hugo's masterpiece a third time. Story and description were now secondary in interest, but the author's deep insight into human nature, his brilliant style and shrewd, kindly philosophy held the old reader more closely than had anything before. So will it be with many of the books in the list. If we are to make friends, let us meet them as early as we can, see them as often as we can, and cling to them as long as we can.

In recommending books to children, parents will do well to remember that books in which young people are not interested will not be read in such a way as to be profitable. The books in these lists are all interesting in themselves, and there need be no fear that they will not be read. The child who has been trained after the manner indicated in these talks will need little further assistance in mastering these books.



Volume I

AESOP'S FABLES. There are many good editions published by the various schoolbook houses. That edited by J. H. Stickney and published by Ginn & Co. is as good as any, and contains also a supplement with fables from La Fontaine and Krilof.

FAIRY TALES, by Hans Christian Andersen. The schoolbook houses publish selections in an attractive form; Blackie and Son, London, a cheap edition.

FAIRY TALES, by Wilhelm and Jakob Grimm. Selections, such as those edited by Sarah E. Wiltse for Ginn & Co., are better than the complete editions, for many of the Grimm tales are coarse and valueless.

BLUE FAIRY BOOK and GREEN FAIRY BOOK, by Andrew Lang. Besides some of the Grimm tales these books contain folklore stories from many nations. Lang has edited other books in this series, but two are probably enough.

Volume II

While the books mentioned in these lists seem most closely connected to the volume to which they are ascribed, yet no hard and fast lines can be drawn. Children will read in the second volume of this set before they have finished the first, and the books in the lists are suitable whenever interest is ripe in the kind of literature which the books contain. Several of the titles given in the list for the first volume should be considered with the second volume.

WONDER BOOK FOR BOYS AND GIRLS, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. This contains many other stories than those given in these volumes.

TANGLEWOOD TALES, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. A second wonder book of classic myths. Houghton, Mifflin Co. are the authorized publishers of the wonder books.

NONSENSE SONGS AND STORIES, by Edward Lear. F. Warne & Co.

COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. This is one of the books that every family ought to own, there is so much in it for every age. Besides the lyrics children love so well, there are Hiawatha, Evangeline, Miles Standish and other poems, which belong to children as well as to the adults. The Cambridge edition published by Houghton, Mifflin Co. is a cheap, serviceable book, though the print is necessarily rather small.

THE WONDERFUL CHAIR AND THE TALES IT TOLD, by Frances R. Browne. D. C. Heath & Co.

THE BLUE BIRD FOR CHILDREN, by Maurice Maeterlinck. The story of the play, beautifully told. Silver, Burdett & Co.

THE JUNGLE BOOK, by Rudyard Kipling. The hero is a child brought up among the wolves. A delightful story to create interest in wild animals. The Century Company.

THE SECOND JUNGLE BOOK, by Rudyard Kipling. The Century Company.

JUST SO STORIES, by Rudyard Kipling.

WILD ANIMALS I HAVE KNOWN, by Ernest Thompson Seton. A delightful series of stories full of human interest.

Volume III

This volume contains selections from several books which it is felt will be read in their entirety by most children. They are:

ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND and THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS. Two modern fairy tales by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). The amusing pictures are by Sir John Tenniel. The Macmillan Company. These fantastic stories delight everyone who reads them.

ROBINSON CRUSOE, by Daniel Defoe. There are many editions of this old and popular story for boys, from an abbreviated form in words of one syllable to the original work in full. W. H. Lambert has edited a school edition in excellent manner for Ginn & Co.

THE SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON, by Johann Rudolph Wyss. Though not of such literary merit as Robinson Crusoe, it is similar in plot and usually more popular. Ginn & Co. publish a good, cheap edition, edited by J. H. Stickney.

ARABIAN NIGHTS' ENTERTAINMENT. The complete editions are not suitable for children to read, but the edition edited by Andrew Lang is excellent. Several schoolbook houses publish good selections, including the most popular tales.

Besides the books mentioned in the lists for Volumes I and II, the following might be suggested here:

THE COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS of John Greenleaf Whittier. Houghton, Mifflin Company's Cambridge edition is perhaps the best. Whittier did not write as much for children as Longfellow did, but his Snow-Bound is a classic that every child will love if he is helped a little in reading it. Other poems will appeal to the older members of the family.

THE BOOK OF LEGENDS TOLD OVER AGAIN, by Horace E. Scudder. Houghton, Mifflin Co. The Flying Dutchman, St. Christopher, William Tell, and The Wandering Jew are some of the names.

THE ADVENTURES OF ULYSSES, by Charles Lamb. D. C. Heath & Co.

THE BOYS OF '76, by Charles Carleton Coffin. Harper and Bros. A fine book that will interest any child in the story of the Revolution. There are other books in a similar vein by the same author.

THE STORY OF THE GREEKS, THE STORY OF THE ROMANS, and THE STORY OF THE ENGLISH are three good books by H. A. Guerber, which will help to create an interest in the history of those peoples and at the same time give information valuable in reading literature. All are published for school use by the American Book Company.

CHILD'S HISTORY OF ENGLAND, by Charles Dickens. This book is always interesting to children, and is such good reading that we need not feel afraid of Dickens' inexactness and apparent prejudices. Read it as literature, not so much as history.

BIRDS AND BEES, SHARP EYES AND OTHER PAPERS, by John Burroughs. Houghton, Mifflin Co. Though this may seem rather hard reading to some, it is delightful literature, and full of good lessons in observation for children. Other books by the same author are equally entertaining. An excellent book to read to children.

INDIAN DAYS OF THE LONG AGO, by E. S. Curtis. World Book Co.

THE MAGIC FOREST, by Stewart Edward White. Macmillan Co.

THE WORLD OF THE GREAT FOREST, by Paul Du Chaillu. Harper and Bros. An interesting account of animal life, not without some literary merit. Other books by the same author will delight the adventurous.

THE BOYS' FROISSART. The chronicles retold in simple English by Sidney Lanier. Scribners.

TRAVELS OF MARCO POLO, abridged by Thomas W. Knox. The touch of fiction does not injure these old tales.

LITTLE SMOKE, by William Osborn. An exciting story of Sioux life.

TEN BIG INDIANS, by Mary Hazelton Wade. W. A. Wilde & Co. An interesting introduction to Indian history.

HANS BRINKER; OR THE SILVER SKATES, by Mary Mapes Dodge. A delightful story of child life in Holland. A valuable picture of manners and customs.

THE HOOSIER SCHOOL BOY, by Edward Eggleston. Charles Scribner's Sons. An interesting story of pioneer times.

REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM, by Kate Douglas Wiggin. Houghton, Mifflin Co.

THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER, A TALE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, by Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens). Harper and Bros. The story relates to England in the sixteenth century.

THE MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY, by Edward Everett Hale. Little, Brown & Co. The style and language are mature, but the story is one of the best lessons in patriotism ever written.

Volume VI

TALES OF A GRANDFATHER, by Sir Walter Scott. An abridged edition, published by Ginn & Co., contains the best tales, but many children will like them all.

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. An excellent book for young people on account of its interest and its clear literary style. An edition by Houghton, Mifflin Co., contains a sketch of Franklin's life subsequent to the time when his autobiography ends.

LAYS OF ANCIENT ROME, by Thomas Babington Macaulay. Inspiring tales in verse such as children love to hear. Horatius is among them.

IVANHOE, by Sir Walter Scott. Houghton, Mifflin Co. publish a cheap school edition.

THE TALISMAN, by Sir Walter Scott.

SCOTTISH CHIEFS, by Jane Porter. This is one of the stories that young people enjoyed years ago. It helps to the reading of Scottish history, and is a good type of the romantic novel.

ENOCH ARDEN, by Alfred Tennyson.

IDYLS OF THE KING, by Alfred Tennyson.

THE COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS of Oliver Wendell Holmes. Cambridge edition of Houghton, Mifflin Co. The Grandmother's Story of Bunker Hill, A Ballad of the Boston Tea Party, Ode for Washington's Birthday, Old Ironsides, Lexington and others have historical value. The humorous poems like The One-Hoss Shay, How the Old Horse Won the Bet, and such beautiful poems as The Chambered Nautilus and The Last Leaf always appeal to young folks.

THE SPY, by James Fenimore Cooper. This is a thrilling story of the Revolution.

THE PILOT, by James Fenimore Cooper. This also is a story of the Revolution, and it has Paul Jones as its hero.

DAVID COPPERFIELD, by Charles Dickens. This is usually considered the masterpiece of the author.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES, by Charles Dickens. A thrilling story of the French Revolution, rather full of terrible happenings, and rather mature.

THE LADY OF THE LAKE, and MARMION, by Sir Walter Scott, the two best of his longer poems, rarely fail to interest young people.

TALES FROM SHAKESPEARE, by Charles and Mary Lamb.

THE TEMPEST, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, and THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, are the three Shakespearean plays that first interest children. Care should be taken in the selection of the edition, as none of the plays in their original form are suitable for children. School editions with notes are excellent. The Tempest is printed in Volume VIII of this set, and is deferred to that point on account of the very full notes and comments that accompany it. The play itself may be read quite early, and children should be encouraged to try their skill on Shakespeare as soon as they show signs of interest.

UNDINE, by Baron de la Motte Fouque, is a beautiful fairy tale from the German, with interest for older children than those who read Andersen and Grimm.

PLUTARCH'S LIVES. White's Boys' and Girls' Plutarch is recommended. The lives of Brutus, Julius Caesar, Themistocles, Pericles and Alexander are among the more interesting.

THE BURNING OF ROME, by A. J. Church, is a thrilling story of that event.

CUORE, by Edmondo De Amicis. The journal of an Italian schoolboy. Useful and moral, but not always interesting to American boys.

IN HIS NAME, by Edward Everett Hale. A tale of religious persecution.

THE PEASANT AND THE PRINCE, by Harriet Martineau. An intensely interesting picture of France just before the Revolution.

PICCIOLA, by X. B. Santine. A touching story whose scene is laid in France in the time of Napoleon.

LIFE OF DANIEL BOONE, by J. and J. C. Abbott.

THE ILIAD, Bryant's translation.

Classified Lists

When boys and girls can read the first seven volumes of this set intelligently and with pleasure they are thinking for themselves. Their tastes are forming rapidly, and they have learned how to read nearly everything that comes to them. They know how to use reference books, and can "make out the meaning" of difficult passages. They are reading for information and culture. What they lack is experience in life, and so they are unable to interpret what they read as fully as can those who have lived longer, seen more of the world, enjoyed more, suffered more. Where they are liable to fail and go astray is in the lack of judgment. They know right and wrong, but they cannot always see the difference. They are apt to be misled by their feelings and to be ruled by their emotions.

The studies and selections of the last three volumes are varied and highly suggestive. They will open new lines of thought and prompt to wider reading in many directions. The contents vary in difficulty as in character, but are not graded in a strict sense of the term. They are meant for independent readers, readers who are governed by mood or purpose and no longer rely upon outside guidance.

Accordingly, lists of books suitable for readers of these volumes will cover every department of literature and lead into the reading favored by adults. The majority of these lists deal with literature. They contain the names of those books which are distinctly helpful, and from which young readers may derive nothing to corrupt taste or give false impressions of life. They are the standard books of the language. The lists might have been longer; they do contain, however, the names of those best books that every cultured person should know. For convenience in reference the arrangement is the alphabetical order of authors' names.

Fiction

AINSWORTH, WILLIAM HARRISON: The Tower of London, the story of Lady Jane Grey, and the plots and intrigues that centered about her.

ALCOTT, LOUISA M.: Little Men and Little Women, two interesting and thoroughly wholesome books for boys and girls.

BLACKMORE, R. D.: Lorna Doone, a delightful romance, the scene of which is laid in Exmoor, England, in the beginning of the eighteenth century.

BULWER-LYTTON, SIR EDWARD: The Last Days of Pompeii, the author's greatest novel; The Last of the Barons, the story of the Earl of Warwick; Harold, The Last of the Saxons, a tale of the Norman Conquest of England.

DOYLE, A. CONAN: The White Company, an exciting fourteenth century story.

ELIOT, GEORGE: Silas Marner, an intensely human story, a heart history; Romola, a thrilling story of Florence in the days of Savonarola, a study in the degeneration of character that comes from doing only the agreeable things in life.

GOLDSMITH, OLIVER: The Vicar of Wakefield, an amusing and at times pathetic picture of English country life in the eighteenth century.

HAWTHORNE, NATHANIEL: The Scarlet Letter, a tale of sin and its punishment in Puritan New England; The Marble Faun, an Italian story full of the art and culture of Rome.

HUGO, VICTOR: Les Miserables, one of the greatest novels of the world, but its digressions and its philosophy make it difficult reading for the young. Interesting abridgements of it may be had from the schoolbook houses.

SCOTT, SIR WALTER: Kenilworth, a tale of the days of Queen Elizabeth; Old Mortality, a story of the Covenanters; Guy Mannering, an eighteenth century tale, with Meg Merrilies, Dominic Sampson and others of Scott's most famous characters; The Heart of Midlothian, a tale of sin and its punishment, with a wonderful picture of a sister's love and devotion.

STOWE, HARRIET BEECHER: Uncle Tom's Cabin, an interesting story, but like most books written for partisan purposes, its influence is not now wholesome.

SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM: Julius Caesar and Coriolanus, two plays based on Roman history and excellent for reading purposes; Richard II (1398-1399), Henry IV (1402-1413), Henry V (1414-1420), Henry VI (1422-1471), Richard III (1471-1485), all based on English history; As You Like It, a great comedy; Hamlet and King Lear, perhaps the two greatest tragedies. All these are excellent reading, especially in such an edition as the Temple Classics. Other plays may well be read, but everyone should know the foregoing list.

PRESCOTT, WILLIAM HICKLING: The Conquest of Mexico and The Conquest of Peru are two interesting histories of the longer type, written in an interesting style that many youths will enjoy. Prescott's work lies with the Spanish, as Motley's with the Dutch and Parkman's with the French.
