Chamberlain, Georgia Louise. Introduction to the Bible for teachers of children: a manual for use in the Sunday schools or in the home. $1. Univ. of Chicago press.
“A most admirable elementary course in Biblical introduction, designed to give children of the fourth grade, or about ten years of age, familiar acquaintance with the various books of the Bible and their varied character, and the ability to use the Bible intelligently.”—Ind.
“The most prominent—and evidently the most purposeful—omission is that of any reference to the inspiration of the Bible.”

“The lessons are well arranged, the suggestions to teachers are clear and stimulating, and the entire work shows diligence and thoroughness in preparation.”

Chambers, Robert William. [Iole.] [†]$1.25. Appleton.
A rather gushy poet with soft white fingers brings up his eight lovely daughters to roam the fields in pink pajamas, talk Greek, and keep near to nature. When the mortgage on his home is to be foreclosed the agent falls in love with the oldest daughter, the owner with the second one, and they all leave nature for the city. The remaining daughters also have romances.

“Originally a fantastical bit of extravaganza printed as a short story, this has been expanded into a book, and thereby much of its cleverness and freshness lost.”
