The Child's Book of Nature.
The Child's Book of Nature, for the Use of Families and Schools: intended to aid Mothers and Teachers in Training Children in the Observation of Nature. In Three Parts. Part I. Plants. Part II. Animals. Part III. Air, Water, Heat, Light, &c. By Worthington Hooker, M.D. Illustrated. The Three Parts complete in One Volume, Small 4to, Half Leather, $1.12; or, separately, in Cloth, Part I., 45 cents; Part II., 48 cents; Part III., 48 cents.
A beautiful and useful work. It presents a general survey of the kingdom of nature in a manner adapted to attract the attention of the child, and at the same time to furnish him with accurate and important scientific information. While the work is well suited as a class-book for schools, its fresh and simple style cannot fail to render it a great favorite for family reading.
The Three Parts of this book can be had in separate volumes by those who desire it. This will be advisable when the book is to be used in teaching quite young children, especially in schools.

HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE
AS
A SCHOOL READER.
After an experience of fourteen and ten years, respectively, in teaching English reading, our success has reached high-water mark in using Harper's Young People as a school reader.

My pupils are very much pleased with the Young People, and I find it ably assists in supplying them with reading matter, so necessary outside of their usual school-books. Such reading I have hitherto found difficult to procure, but I think Harper's Young People will prove very suitable for our purpose.

Please find enclosed a copy of the Resolution that the Board adopted this afternoon at my urgent request.

Hastings, Minn.
Resolved: "That Harper's Young People be and is hereby adopted by this Board as the text-book to be used for reading exercises in the intermediate grades of the public schools."
Please send 9 copies of your Young People for nine weeks, to my address. I am a teacher in a country school, near this city, and fully appreciate the advantages to be obtained from putting fresh reading matter constantly before my pupils.
Chas. W. Moulton,
Minneapolis, Minn.
Please send me 100 copies of Harper's Young People, divided into 20 copies, each of five different numbers. I want them for supplementary reading matter in the public schools.
Edward Burgess, Supt. of Schools,
Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
Harper's Young People is quite popular here. Many of the schools read from it each week.
Joseph G. Edgerly, Supt. of Schools,
Fitchburg, Mass.
I am delighted with my experiment in using Harper's Young People in my school in place of reading books. I get closer attention, and better reading in the class-room, as well as an increased interest in good reading matter outside of the school.
Frank H. Greene,
Carmel, N. Y.
I am a teacher in one of the public schools of this city. I take Harper's Young People to school with me, and my pupils enjoy it very much.
I have the oldest children in the building, and they can understand all of the pieces. I read them the articles as a reward for good behavior and well-learned lessons, and let them copy and work out the puzzles.
It would please you to see how anxiously they wait for each new issue, and how happy they are when it comes. * * * Permit me to congratulate you on the success your paper has achieved both here and abroad.
