“Professor Jackson has added immeasurable value to his book by a large number of original translations that are skillfully done and still retain poetry in their phraseology. The author’s hope of carrying on his work is commendable, and it is to be desired that circumstances make it possible.”

JACKSON, BENNETT BARRON, and others, comps. Thrift and success. il *$1.25 Century 331.84
19–12737
A compilation arranged by the superintendent and two teachers of the Minneapolis public schools. “Several selections are devoted to the general aspects of thrift, but the editors have wisely included a considerable number of selections describing such thrift agencies as savings banks, farm mortgages, postal savings banks, life insurance, and government bonds. The opportunities for wise investment, as well as the necessity for saving, are thus brought clearly to the reader’s attention. The book includes several little plays which teach a thrift lesson. There are, too, inspiring talks intended to stimulate children to make a success of themselves. A number of biographical sketches of prominent Americans of the past and present are included.” (Survey)
“A valuable occasional reader or teacher’s manual.”
