"'Wee Pieces for Wee Speakers' should be popular with the mothers and teachers who are called upon to provide 'pieces' for the children to speak. All ages and tastes are provided for, with a little girls' and a little boys' section, a special assortment of Christmas selections, and hundreds of verses for older amateur elocutionists. Some very good poetry is included."—The Chicago Record-Herald.

THE IDEAL SPEAKER

"This volume fills a long felt want for a handy, reliable speaker for the young people. It contains recitations. Just what they are looking for. It will indeed be very helpful to the school boy or girl who so often cannot find a suitable piece to recite, but will ever find one if they have this book. We gladly commend it and hope it will have the large circulation it so richly deserves."—Southern Star.

THE NONPAREIL READER AND SPEAKER

"The 'Nonpareil Speaker' will be welcomed by parents and teachers for the fresh material graded for all ages."—Boston Herald.

"The 'Nonpareil Speaker' is composed of humorous verse, dramatic selections, oratory and tableau vivants. The book furnishes evidence that the work of compilation has been well done."—Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.
