A New Book

Our Little Folks’ Bible Nature

BY ELLA KING SANDERS
The author, having had extended observation and preparation in lesson-writing for children, is thoroughly competent to produce a primary book especially adapted to the needs of the children in the home and the school.
The plan of the book is simple graded lessons on Bible nature, taking up the subjects in the order of creation, beginning with light, the first subject introduced in the Bible. The sentence method is introduced in the first lesson in script and print, and great care has been taken in the grading of the matter throughout the entire book. Each subject is thoroughly illustrated with new drawings made especially for the book, and with thirteen colored plates. It is the same size, and contains the same number of pages, as “Our Paradise Home,” and is beautifully bound in board and cloth with an appropriately colored design cover. Retail prices, 25 and 40 cents. Forty per cent discount allowed to agents.
“I have examined ‘Our Little Folks’ Bible Nature,’ quite carefully, and I am pleased with it. We have adopted it in our Northern California teachers’ institute, and it has also been adopted by the Pacific Union Educational Council held recently at South Tacoma, Wash.; so all our little folks throughout the Pacific Union Conference will have the privilege of receiving the valuable instruction contained in this little reader, which I am sure they will fully appreciate.
“I wish ‘Our Little Folks’ Bible Nature’ a wide circulation, not only among the children in our schools, but among the children still in the home under the mother’s teaching.
“M. E. CADY, “Educational Sec. Pac. Union Conf.”

Bell’s Language Series

This series gives an outline study of the English language, adapted to the training of the child from the nursery until he is graduated from college. These five books are based upon the natural method, giving and illustrating principles rather than rules, and are particularly suited to home study. A complete set of grammars, such as this, covering all grammatical problems, should be a treasure to any student, not alone during his school-days, but more particularly in after-life, when to determine a grammatical construction there is no teacher to whom it can be referred, except the books that were studied at school.
This language series is composed of the following:—
Book 1, Primary Language Lessons from Life, Nature, and Revelation, 227 pp., cloth ........ $.65
Book 2, Elementary Grammar, 224 pp., cloth ................ .65
Book 3, Complete Grammar, 281 pp., cloth .................. .80
Book 4, Rhetoric and Higher English, 375 pp., cloth ........ 1.25
Book 5, Studies in English Literature, 599 pp., cloth ........ 1.75

Important Histories

The Empire Series

It is well to make statements that such and such kings and kingdoms ruled during certain periods, and that certain things took place during their reign; but do you have a history to which you can turn and prove your assertions? It is this that carries conviction with your statements. If you have not, you should have a set of the histories written by A. T. Jones.

Volume I—Empires of the Bible

This is a history of the time from the fall of Babylon to the captivity. Researches in Babylon and Egypt have brought to light many valuable historical records inscribed on stone. These records the author has connected with Bible statements, showing how they agree. Price, $1.50.

Volume II—The Great Empires of Prophecy

A history of the times from Babylon to the fall of Rome, with particular attention to the prophecies of the book of Daniel. The quotations from more than eighty standard histories bring the writings of these historians to your hand in one volume, so that you have their own language, and therefore a veritable cyclopedia of history. Price, $2.

Volume III—Ecclesiastical Empire

This book contains an account of all the principal events that have affected civil government and tended to the establishment of ecclesiastical authority, from the time of the fall of Rome to the present day. It contains a good history of the Reformation and compendium of the principles of true Christianity, the reason for our national apostasy, and a full treatise upon the union of church and state. 874 pages. Price, $2.50.

Dictionary

What boy or girl will not be pleased to have a dictionary, and particularly one that is so small and convenient that it will go into a vest pocket? What boy or girl should not have a dictionary in order that their reading and writing may be executed correctly and understandingly? This is important in their education.
Our Vest Pocket Dictionary, bound in cloth, 25 cts.; in Russia leather, 50 cts.; in Morocco, 60 cts. All are indexed.

New Series of Physiologies

These books constitute an entirely new and graded series for the study of physiology and hygiene in the schools.
The important questions of sanitation and temperance are thoroughly treated from a scientific and physiological standpoint. Both books contain a full treatise on the nature and effects of alcoholic drinks and other narcotics.
Not only are these the latest text-books published on the subject, but they will also be found very valuable for home study, as they treat the subject in a clear, practical manner.
First Book in Physiology, 174 pp., illustrated, 40 cts.
Second Book in Physiology, 291 pp., illustrated, 80 cts.
No other physiologies as practical as the Kellogg series.

Geographies

This important study receives attention in all schools. We know of no better books to offer than Morton’s Geographies for church-school work.
Published in two grades,—the Elementary, which sells for 65 cts.; and the Advanced, which sells for $1.30.

Making Home Happy

A book written for the purpose of making homes happy. It illustrates how an unhappy home was made happy, and cites the manner of securing this desirable condition in every home. It pictures, in pleasing narrative form, the relations that should exist in the home, and the influences that should be guarded and cultivated. Bound in cloth, 50 cts.; in paper, 25 cts.
