The child with n strong artistic bent will
find n way to beautiful things unassisted.
But parents could do much to cultivate
this sense In more chlblren by giving them
helpful books, Buck n book Is this one,
dealing with the most appealing of Ihe arts,
In an Interesting, easily comprehended, yet
not too elementary manner. The work is
plentifully Illustrated, and besides Inter
pretatlons of the Kreatrst works of art, the
text makes the nrtlst themselves Interest
Ing nnd nllve. The younit person reading
this book can nciulre some of thnt cultural
background which tho teacher of today
finds so sadly lacking In his pupils,
Glimpses of history nnd social conditions
nro Inevitably mingled with tho study of
the art of sculpture.
The book Is well eiiulpped with pro
nouncing gasctteer nnd Index nnd gives the
sense of completeness In small compass,
Tho word Famous In the title seems to
have compelled tho nuthor to deal only with
the. dead mnsters. It seems regrettable
that Slitinler nnd llodln should be accorded
but a few linen, and St. Haudens not much
more, whllo the great bulk of moderns must
apparently wnlt for the years to estamisn
them before liclng made part of tho life
and lliuuulit of our young people.
When D. W. Orimth. master cinema

author of 'Tho Children's Plutarch." It
Is not so much the excellent book that he
hns written, but the striking coincidence of
doing tlm samo thing In printed form thnt
rirllllth did In motion pictures and at al
most thn same tlmo, too. As an example,
tho first rlmpler tells of the 300 followers
of Leonldns, King nt Hpnrtn, who were
nlnln, and then the parallel stories of brave
hearts In Hegtllus, In Ht. Francis, In Cap
tain Conk, In (leorgo Washington nnd In a
Kronen woman. Thus tho stories began In
the yexr ISO II. C, and tholr cqualn aro told

Knthrrlno D Cather vitalises tho figures
of n number of men noted In tho nrtB of
miiMlP and painting In "Boyhood Stories of
Famous SIcn" (Thn Century fnmitany,
Ngw York). Sirs. Onthur departs entirely
from tho statistical In bur accounts, but her
outlines or biography arc sound and fur
nish tho 'foundations for u romantic and
Interesting treatment of her subjects. SInny

which to accompany Ulfl"! performance.
The latter Is one of the most lmior
tnnt of many things necessary for the

Answers Every Question a Child Can Ask
in the plain nnd simple language that a child can understand. Do not put your child to sleep
over tho long, dull articles to which children are so often subjected when hunting for infor
mation. This discourages their first efforts nnd may turn them away fdrcver from the most pre
cious thing which a child can possess the desire to learn and find out for himself the things
which ho wants to know. Adult information given in scientific language has no attraction
for the mind of the child. It has much tho same effect upon him as tho old-fashioned' sermon
which began with firstly and ended with everybody asleep.
Pictures Speak Louder Than Words
The Book of Knowledge possesses in a marked degree the power to awaken and stimu
late growing minds, first and foremost, becnuse it is illustrated with thousands of delightful
