"There is a world of sense and practical truth in this valuable book."—The Brooklyn Eagle.
A Bundle of Letters
To Busy Girls.By Miss Grace E. Dodge,
(Member of the New York Board of Education).————
"These Twelve Letters are all on 'Practical Matters' which enter into the life of all our 'Girls.'... All is subordinated to produce wise, practical, and much-needed instruction, in plain, common-sense, brief, and wonderfully effective words. They are indeed a model. The author, as one of the 'Girls,' puts herself on their level, and speaks in their language, and voices their feelings, wants, and trials. Nothing could be more wisely done, for the object in view. The little book can not fail to do great good to the class of girls for whom it has been prepared. Let it be circulated."—The Christian Observer, Louisville.
"Some philanthropic person ought to see this book put into the hands of thousands of school and shop girls throughout the country. It would be a bit of philanthropy that would bear more moral fruit than often comes from the charitable endeavor."—The Journal of Education, Boston.
"No class of girls can be more usefully employed than in reading and discussing the points suggested in this excellent book."—Woman's Journal, Boston.
"It is one of the best and most helpful books I ever read. It is written with charming directness and simplicity."—"Josiah Allen's Wife."
