WHAT THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA
BRITANNICA WILL DO
FOR THEM
In one respect children are very
much like chickens, puppies, kittens,
or other young animals. If you begin
early enough, nnd feed them right,
you can teach them almost anything
nnd they will never forget it.
A normal child is all curiosity.
more curious the child is,, the
hope there is for its future.
Early accustom your child to looking
up things for himself in the Britannica,
and you will never have to
about his or her future.
With such an aid to self-confidence
a very ordinary child wilt accomplish
the seemingly impossible. It is like
water to plants you can fairly watch
the growth from week to week. Every
father who has tried it will bear out
this statement.
It will show your children how
educate themselves. It will show them
what knowledge is collected and ready
for use. It will really help them to
decide on their life work. It will show
them the easiest and best way to
whatever they choose to do. It
show them the methods used by the
successful.
When the Encyclopaedia Britannica
could not be had for less than $150,
and then only in volumes really too
large for a child to handle conveniently,
there was some excuse for a parent's
not buying it. But now, in the "Handy
Volume" Issue, the volumes smaller
than a magazine (yet containing every
word and every picture that is in the
costlier Cambridge issue), at one-third
the lowest price at which the
Cam
bridge issue is now selling, any family
can afford it.
05 Harvard professors and instruc
tors own it; 75 at Columbia; 68 sets
are in the Government Departments
at Washington; and 25 sets in the
New York Public Library, But w
do not wish you to buy on this
recommendation or on ours.
We want you to satisfy yourself, in
your home, with your children around
you, that the "Handy Volume" Issue
ia the best investment you ever
made in your life. Give the books a
thorough trial, and be sure the chil
dren's mother has a vote on the final
decision. That is sit we ask.
Send them back Inside of three
weeks, if. the children will giye them
' up, and we will refund all you have
paid.
