Dear Old Santa Claus will be here in just a few weeks
leaving things at the deer and dropping things down the
chimney. We are going te loosen our purse strings this
Christmas for our boy and girl. BUT we are in no mood
te threw money away en foolish trifles or gifts that will
last but an hour or a day. THE BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE,
The Children's Encyclepaedia, is the best thing that money
can buy for the child. It is the gift which lasts for a life
time. It begins with the child who is old enough te be
interested in the 10,000 striking pictures and takes him all
the way up te high school graduation. Ne normal child can
resist its appeal te the reason, the heart and the imagina
tion. Frem Iceland te Patagonia and Bombay te Madrid,
in five different languages, this wonderful work is furnish
ing ever a million children with a working knowledge of the
world. Let Santa Claus bring THE BOOK OF KNOWL
EDGE te your child this Christmas! It is the one great
gift because it combines the greatest amount of pleasure
with the greatest permanent value.

Knowledge at a Glance
"There is no royal read te learning," said Seneca, but there
were no moving pictures in the day of this great philosopher.
That film pictures will become the most valuable asset te the
textbooks in the schools is a foregone conclusion. This great
new educational method has already been introduced into the
home through the most remarkable publication of modern
times, THE BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE. Its 10,000 striking
pictures, many of them in4colers, with their brief but fascinat
ing talks and descriptions, give the child complete possession
of the great world of knowledge with the smallest amount of
effort and the greatest amount of pleasure. It is the educa
tional achievement of the century, the most helpful work of
our time and the best adapted te growing minds. Don't you
want your child te have the benefit of this new method of
obtaining knowledge at a glance?
The Breakfast Table Teaches
Let us take the breakfast table and see what we can find out
about it in the striking pictures of THE BOOK OF KNOWL
EDGE. There is "The Making of Bread and Butter"; "The
Manufacture of Knives, Ferks and Spoons"; "Hew We Obtain
Coffee and Tea" ; and "Where the Fruit Cemes Frem," or you
will learn where that delicious codfish was caught and hew
from a fresh fish it became a salt and was packed up in barrels
and packages. The brief but fascinating descriptions of such
subjects as these, written in simple and plain language, held
the child's attention almost as strongly as the pictures them
selves. He is being delightfully entertained, while very impor
tant knowledge is sinking into his mind almost automatically.
He is hanging the walls of his memory with pictures which he
can never forget and without the effort of driving the nails.
Opens Every Doer a Child Should Enter
The lft Great Departments, Nature, Science, History, Biography, Astronomy, Physiology,
Art, Poetry, Literature and Educational Occupations, contain the important knowledge
of the world scientifically arranged, beautifully and simply explained and fascinatingly
illustrated. It is the Simplest System of Universal Knowledge.

Why are the raindrops round? Hew docs an iron ship float?
