In addition to the foregoing, there is beginning to come from the press a mass of juvenile literature that promises to furnish most practical inspiration and guidance to the juvenile mind on the farm. Much of this new rural life literature may be had for the asking or for the mere price of publication. The following are recommended:-- _The Rural School Leaflet._ Edited by Alice G. McCloskey, and issued under the general direction of L. H. Bailey at Ithaca, N.Y. The Country Life Publications, issued by D. W. Working, Superintendent of Agricultural Extension, Morgantown, W.Va. The series published by A. B. Graham, Superintendent of the Extension Department, Ohio University, Columbus. The annual reports of County Superintendent O. J. Kern, Rockford, Ill., and of County Superintendent George W. Brown, Paris, Ill. The Wisconsin Arbor and Bird Day Annual, issued by State Superintendent C. P. Cary, Madison, Wis. The Extension Departments of many of the state universities and nearly all of the state agricultural colleges are now issuing a series of small pamphlets on such matters as stock judging, grain breeding, soil testing, and home economics. This literature should be given the widest possible circulation in the country home, as it will prove helpful both to the young and to the parents in their direction of the young. _Literature on Child-rearing_ Parents who are seriously in earnest in the matter of developing the lives of their children will find great assistance and much inspiration through the reading of books and magazines on the child-rearing problems. In fact, it may be put down as a practical certainty that the work of child training cannot go on effectively and continue in its interest except one have some aids of the kind just named. Therefore, the interested parent should cast about for the books and magazines that promise to serve in the solution of the particular problems at hand. It happens that the author has collected a large number of books and periodicals of this class and that he has made a somewhat critical examination of them. In listing the titles below, a word or phrase is used to indicate the contents or purpose of the text. 1. Periodicals on Child-rearing _The American Baby._ American Publishing Company, 1 Madison Ave., New York City. $1 per year, 10 cents per copy.
