“Cheapest, Best, and Most Useful”
By Editor
“The Youth’s Instructor is the cheapest, best, and most useful public-school teachers’ paper I can get,” is the postscript added to a subscription received last week from an Iowa teacher. Do you have this “cheapest, best, and most useful” paper in your home? It is just as good for the church school as for the public school; just as good for the isolated youth as for those who enjoy Sabbath-school privileges; in fact, we believe it to be the best youth’s paper published. A glance at the table of contents for No. 26, issue of June 28, will give an idea of the subjects treated:— THE HAWAIIANS—Native Dress (Illus.) ................................ Mrs. Lena E. Howe MISSIONARY READING CIRCLE—Education in China; The Staff of Life in Syria and Palestine. ELEMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY—The Artistic Side .................... J. Edgar Ross NATURE’S GARDEN—Bishop’s Purse (Illus.) ........................ L. A. Reed THE PRICE OF OUR REDEMPTION, ........................ Mrs. E. G. White HOW HE LEARNED TO PRAY, ............................ Edison J. Driver VACATION (Verse) ........ Elizabeth Rosser TEDDY’S LESSON ............ Mrs. L. M. Droll NOTE AND COMMENT—How to Loosen a Glass Stopper; Gutta-Percha Trees in the Philippines; A Sane Idea for the Insane; One Fruit of Militarism; Some War Casualties; A Girl’s Sensible Reply; An Editor’s Perplexity; Lighting Trains with Electricity. SABBATH-SCHOOL LESSON—Our Sins Purchased. VALUE OF THE BIBLE AS LITERATURE. SOME RULES FOR GIRLS WHO LONG TO BE POPULAR. Other short articles and sketches, with a choice variety of verse, make up a table of contents that can not fail to please all. A letter from an old subscriber and contributor, written under date of June 1, 1900, shows how she regards the Instructor. Among other things she says:— “Considering its size, the amount of excellent matter the Instructor contains is surprising. It is becoming more and more an ‘Instructor’; and judging from my own observation, I should say that the old take as much interest in it as the young.” A number of good books are offered as premiums with the Instructor, both for new subscriptions and for renewals. A copy giving a list of these will be sent on request. The Instructor is an illustrated eight-page weekly. Single subscriptions, 75 cents; discounts to clubs.
