"
MR. BRECK AND TWO OF HIS PETS

This is a book of unusual interest for young people. The author, after a brilliant career in many lands, has of late spent much of his time in the woods of Maine and Nova Scotia, and has taken as a hobby making pets of the wild creatures of the woods. From the thieving crow to the black bear and moose, there is scarcely an animal with which Mr. Breck has not been upon familiar terms. His close study of the ways of his animal friends is woven into an attractive narrative of the experiences of Uncle Ned Buckshaw and a group of young people while camping out in the Nova Scotia forest. Young readers will find it an intensely interesting book, from which they will derive a wide and sound knowledge of the habits of wild animals.

SWIMMING
By Edwin Tenney Brewster

With frontispiece photograph of Annette Kellerman and numerous diagrams. 16mo, $1.00 net. Postage extra.

For any one who wants to learn to swim, to swim better, or to teach some one else to swim, Mr. Brewster's little handbook will be of unique helpfulness. It is a compact and well-arranged manual, giving instructions so clearly and entertainingly that the reader, given the opportunity for practice, can scarcely fail to acquire the art of swimming in all its branches in a short space of time. A particularly useful section of the book is that which presents the best method for teaching very small children to swim. The rapid increase in swimming instruction in public and private schools has been a notable feature of the last few years. Mr. Brewster's manual will be particularly useful to teachers of swimming, while to those who for any reason cannot obtain expert instruction it will be invaluable, since it will make it possible to acquire correct swimming without the wasteful habits of muscular action found in those who acquire the art by the customary haphazard process. The book is fully illustrated with clear and serviceable diagrams of positions and motions. (Ready in April.)
