Home Workers’ Books

“You must not under any consideration tell the child an untruth, for he will not know when to believe you and when not to believe,” said the great Italian educator, Dr. Maria Montessori, to the teachers at the recent National Educational Association in San Francisco. It was something of a bombshell to people who had been accustomed to the teaching of myths and fairy tales contained in the ordinary books of the day.

AND YET the principle set forth by the doctor—and who will say that it is not scientifically and morally correct?—is not a new one. Thoughtful, sensible people have been demanding a change; and as a result there is a growing demand for children’s and young people’s books of the better class. This demand is met in part by the justly popular HOME WORKERS’ BOOKS. More than two million of them have been sold. If stacked up in a single pile they would tower over fifteen miles high.

A WIDE RANGE of subjects is covered by these books—simple Bible stories, missionary stories, other moral stories, animal stories, nature studies, and beautiful spiritual themes—several of each.

NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER are the big selling months for these juvenile books. Some agents at work already. Others are wanted at once. 40% commission to you. Our representative in your state (see list on page 15) will help you get started.
