STORIES FOR CHILDREN

TWO LITTLE RUNAWAYS (Just Published)
Adapted and revised by Melvin Hix and Walter L. Hervey. Illustrated. 95 pp. 30 cents.

Snappy and Spitfire are a dog and a cat who become dissatisfied with their surroundings and decide to run away. Their various adventures make an amusing and interesting book for children. It was designed particularly to be used at that important stage when children are ready to begin the independent practice of the most delightful of all arts, the art of finding stories in books. The simplicity of plot and general content are admirably suited to the needs and abilities of six-year-old readers.

INDIAN SKETCHES
By Cornelia Steketee Hulst. Illustrated. 120 pages. 60 cents.

New material, drawn from the beautiful and heroic stories of the Northwest Territory, has been worked up with the aim of presenting the Indian in a much pleasanter and fairer light than is usual in literature. Social and racial customs, the dances of the various seasons, etc., are described. Parents and teachers of younger children will find these “Sketches” interesting and historically accurate.

IN OLDEST ENGLAND
By George Philip Krapp. Illustrated. 173 pp. 60 cents.

A collection of well-chosen stories which represent old English life. Tales of adventure, accounts of battles, vivid descriptions of their homes and dress, all serve to make real this distant period. The story of the beginnings of the English people up to the Norman Conquest is given, and the heroic characters of those times are brought to view in a setting altogether new.

THE MAGIC SPEECH FLOWER
By Melvin Hix. Illustrated. 179 pp. 35 cents.

This is the story of a little boy who was kind to animals, and, because of his goodness to them, gained the power to understand and to speak the speech of the animal folk. Thus he hears from them all about their habits and they tell him many interesting legends of the woods. Most of the stories are new and they are told in simple language which can be read by children of eight or nine years of age.

HISTORICAL PLAYS OF COLONIAL DAYS
By Louise E. Tucker and Estelle L. Ryan. Twenty-six plays. With full-page Frontispiece. 163 pp. 65 cents.

This book makes history real by lifting it into a dramatic presentation faithfully reproducing people and events in colonial times in America. It teaches history in its pleasantest form. All of the plays have been acted over and over again by children nine or ten years old. They also immensely enjoy reading the plays without acting. The average time required to give each of the plays is about fifteen minutes.
