19–13816
“This book differs from others in the abundant literature that is being produced upon this topic, chiefly in the fact that it endeavors to present, with the least possible waste of space, all the material that parents of a growing family of children of both sexes need for their use at every stage of other children’s development. The unique feature, perhaps, is a section devoted to concrete answers to the embarrassing questions that children are likely to ask.” (Introd.) Contents: Why we have to do this; How to educate the little child; How to educate the schoolboy; How to educate the schoolgirl; How to educate the coming man; How to educate our coming women; List of books for further reading; Index.
FORD, HENRY JONES. Alexander Hamilton. (Figures from American history) *$2 Scribner
20–7498
“This book is a biography which aims to present the life of Hamilton as completely as possible from the evidence obtainable. It gives most attention to his political ideals and career and it also describes his character and personal life.”—Booklist
“One lays down the book with a clear grasp of Hamilton’s important contributions to American nationality, and a fair idea of the manner of man he was. Uniform fairness, fascinating style and illumination of American political history are the outstanding characteristics of the book.” M. L. Bonham, jr.
