For the boys and girls who are preparing for entry into the serious battle of business and profes- sional life how rich is literature with works that broaden, equip and sharpen the intellect, AT THE SAME TIME SUPPLYING GENUINE RELAXATION AND ENJOYMENT, And for the busy man and woman what a glorious companion is a good book! After a day's work is done, and well done, how keen the relish, HOW RESTFUL AND REFRESHING FOR THE MIND to follow the humors and pathos of human life as so marvellously pictured in the great works of Charles Dickens and Honore de Balzac and George Eliot! Or to be transported from the COMMONPLACES OF EVERY-DAY LIFE INTO THE ROMANTIC ATMOSPHERE OF PAST AGES, to be thrilled by Scott's Ivanhoe or Kenilworth or Heart of Midlothian! To follow the master minds of Victor Hugo and Dumas through volume after volume of INTENSE TRAGEDY AND GLORIOUS ROMANCE! To smile with Thackeray, to laugh uproariously with Mark Twain, to sing the enchanted music of Long- fellow and Tennyson! Or to FOLLOW WITH ENTHRALLED INTEREST THE TREMENDOUS PANORAMA of life, action and character as presented by the immortal Bard, William Shakespeare!
