Just think of how it will help you help the children. For “Don’t bother me" {8 no reply to a question. Yet it or something to the same ef- fect is the one answer you give to half the questions of your boy or girl. And it is wrong to leave such questions unanswered. For it discourages the desire of the young ones to learn and so re- tards their development. ., But with an BEncyclopedia Britannica in the bookcase the children can no longer stump you. For, whatever they want to know—history, geography, lit- erature—you'll find it fully ex- plained in the Britannica, by the authority on the subject. S0 a Britannica brings you real close to your boys and girls, for it enables you to superintend their study, to make their home lessons less irksome and more interesting. And you'll find in the Encyclo- pedia the information on things that will make you more com- panionable to your husband, more interesting to your friends.
