Sabbath-school teacher training course. 1st year: a series of thirty-nine lessons designed for use in normal classes. [**]25c. Presb. bd.
This volume “contains a course of study for three-quarters of a year, and a forth-coming volume will complete the scheme. At the end of the first course the Presbyterian board of publication, Philadelphia, will arrange for an examination for such as desire it, and a teacher’s diploma will be granted to such as satisfy the examiners.... Even if the book is not used with a view to a diploma, many Sunday school teachers will find it advantageous to make it the ground-plan of private study.”—Ind.
“This first year’s course is admirable in every respect. The well selected range of subjects is concise, but sufficiently comprehensive.”

Sabin, Edwin Legrand. Beaufort chums. [†]$1. Crowell.
The real adventures of real boys are interestingly told here for young readers. The Mississippi river furnishes the scene for camping, hunting, fishing, and kindred fun. There is the full quota of happenings, and live boys keen on the scent for them.
[*] “Real boy books are scarce these days, and ‘Beaufort chums’ ought to be hailed as an acquisition to the juvenile library.”

Sabin, Edwin Legrand. When you were a boy. [†]$1.50. Baker.
Humorously sympathetic recollections of the days when “you” played ball with the North star nine, preferred illness to the awful alternative of going to school, fought “your” fights, made a chum of “your” dog, went fishing, swimming, and skating, or, amid “your” companions’ jeers, saw “your” first “girl” home from a party. Fifty real boy illustrations by Frederic Dorr Steele illustrate the volume.
