Thus far, we have entered upon
every new volume with an increased circulation. We look for a still
larger increase in the future; for there are thousands and thousands of
children not yet supplied with the work, for whom no other magazine can
take its place. We have something in preparation for coming numbers
which will make the eyes of our little readers sparkle with delight. Now
is the time for canvassers to go to work with a will.
The illustration by Merrill of the "Three Little Culprits" who were kept
after school to study their spelling-lesson, is one of those happy
touches of nature that every one can appreciate. The poem by Miss
Wadsworth is worthy of the picture.
Children who are trying to learn to draw, will be pleased with the
beautiful subject in our present number. By giving half-an-hour a day to
drawing now, they will acquire a facility and a skill that will not only
be of service to them, but a great pleasure to them, all their lives.
If parents or teachers would like to know of two books by the use of
which teaching may be made a pleasure instead of a task to children,
they cannot do better than order "The Easy Book" and "The Beautiful
Book;" the former containing pieces in prose, and the latter, pieces in
verse, and both of them richly and copiously illustrated with
appropriate pictures.
