AN accurate knowledge of how to attend to the every-day affairs of a business life is, indeed, a most valuable possession. The requirements of modern business life are manifold and exacting, demanding technical information, and, besides, quite a degree of what may justly be termed "cultivation." This valuable and indispensable book covers a wide range of information of much importance, and is designed as a text-book for schools, and for ready reference for young people and those who need such instruction as it contains. It treats in an attractive and clear manner subjects which bear on every-day callings, like "Letter-writing," by which so large a percentage of business is conducted; "Bills, Receipts, and Accounts;" "Post-Office Business," with instructions regarding late advantages and scope of accommodation; "Telegrams," "Express Business," "United States Money," "Savings Banks," "National Banks," "Bank Checks," "Notes and Drafts," "Mortgages," "Investment and Speculation," "Taxes," "Fire Insurance," and "Life Insurance." These are topics conveying a general idea of the worth of the book—topics about which business men must know, and covering that which they who would be business men must learn. Keeping relatively abreast of modern methods, the educators of our day see the necessity of imparting business knowledge, as well as that which is purely scientific, historical, or literary in its nature; hence, the adaptability of "Every-Day Business" to the necessities of American schools and our progressive ways of life.

"After making child-nature a special study, Miss Sparhawk offers this little book as its result. It is designed to be used as a supplementary reader for classes in geography, and in cases of very young children as preparatory to the definitions and statements of text-books, which to children so often mean nothing. Still, the author does not intend that because this book is used all verbal explanations should be done away with; and while it is designed to take the place of aimless and weary work, it is not at all intended to do away with work and substitute play in its stead. The subjects treated preclude that idea. Such topics as the following require study and work on the part of both teacher and pupil: 'The Horizon,' 'Trees,' 'Vegetation,' 'Heat and Moisture,' 'Water-sheds,' 'Sun and Rain,' 'Highways and Barriers,' 'From the Lakes to the Gulf,' 'Cities,' 'Mountains and Rivers,' and many more important topics, including the continents."—School Journal.
