A Reference Work They Love to Read

The Book of Knowledge The Children9 s Encyclopedia

reference service which The Book of Knowledge gives is twofold. Material is ar-

ranged so that the children can easily find for themselves the things they want to know; and information is presented so attractively that they love to read it.

Dr. Lewis M. Terman, Professor of Psychol- ogy in Stanford University, and Margaret Lima in Children's Reading, reporting upon an investi- gation of children's reading interests made in the course of a study of the traits of gifted children, say "1827 school children of grades one to eight were asked to list the four or five books that they had most enjoyed reading during the past year (p. 73) .... with the exception of The Book of

Knowledge, all of the most liked books are fiction" (p. 75).

Another valuable contribution of The Bookjof Knowledge to children's welfare is its abundance of character-building material. Articles, answers to questions, biographies, stories, poems and pictures instill in the child a love of truth, loy- alty, self-reliance and other desirable standards of behavior that must be established in the years of childhood.

A guide to the material in The Book of Knowledge especially adapted to the building of character will be sent free to libraries on re- quest. Write for your copy today.
