Outdoor and indoor pastimes have been given equal attention, and much of the work is closely allied to the studies of the modern grammar and high schools, as will be seen by a glance at the following list of subjects, which are only a few among those discussed in the 500 pages of text: MANUAL TRAINING; EASILY-MADE FURNITURE; FITTING UP A BOY'S ROOM; HOME-MADE GYMNASIUM APPARATUS; A BOY'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH OUTFIT; COASTERS AND BOB-SLEDS; MODEL AEROPLANES; PUSHMOBILES AND OTHER HOME-MADE WAGONS; A CASTLE CLUBHOUSE AND HOME-MADE ARMOR. Modern ingenious work such as the above cannot fail to develop mechanical ability in a boy, and this book will get right next to his heart. "The book is a treasure house for boys who like to work with tools and have a purpose in their working."--_Springfield Union._ "It is a capital book for boys since it encourages them in wholesome, useful occupation, encouraged self-reliance and resourcefulness and at the same time discourages extravagance."--_Brooklyn Times._ "It is all in this book, and if anything has got away from the author we do not know what it is."--_Buffalo News._ For sale by all booksellers, or sent on receipt of postpaid price by the publishers LOTHROP, LEE & SHEPARD CO., Boston THE BOY CRAFTSMAN Practical and Profitable Ideas for a Boy's Leisure Hours By A. NEELY HALL [Illustration] Illustrated with over 400 diagrams and working drawings 8vo Price, net, $1.60 Postpaid, $1.82 Every real boy wishes to design and make things, but the questions of materials and tools are often hard to get around. Nearly all books on the subject call for a greater outlay of money than is within the means of many boys, or their parents wish to expend in such ways. In this book a number of chapters give suggestions for carrying on a small business that will bring a boy in money with which to buy tools and materials necessary for making apparatus and articles described in other chapters, while the ideas are so practical that many an industrious boy can learn what he is best fitted for in his life work. No work of its class is so completely up-to-date or so worthy in point of thoroughness and avoidance of danger. The drawings are profuse and excellent, and every feature of the book is first-class. It tells how to make a boy's workshop, how to handle tools, and what can be made with them; how to start a printing shop and conduct an amateur newspaper, how to make photographs, build a log cabin, a canvas canoe, a gymnasium, a miniature theatre, and many other things dear to the soul of youth. We cannot imagine a more delightful present for a boy than this book.--_Churchman, N.Y._
