* Munn, Charles Clark. Boyhood days on the farm: a story for young and old boys. il. †$1.50. Lothrop.
7–38603.
In which the old gambrel-roofed farmhouse with open fireplace, big woodshed and tall well-sweep, the meadow and stream, and the isolated school at the cross roads are rescued from oblivion and made the environment of a farmer lad of the old New England type. The winter and summer humdrum is pictured with all a youngster’s resentment of the irksomeness of so tame a life yet it is made the all-important factor in the sturdy development of a type that has ever been prominent in the nation’s development.

Bud is a little Chicago girl who steps serenely into the home of her staid aunts in a Scottish village. She is a contradictory mixture of owlish wisdom and baby ignorance, and whenever she expresses her thoughts it is with a goodly bit of slang that shocks her newly found relatives. It is a charming book with a freshness entirely its own.
