A New Story Book for Children
by Fanny FernNobody could be more astonished than I, to find myself famous. I never dreamed of it, when I sat in a small room, at the top of the house where I lodged, scribbling over a sheet of coarse foolscap with noms de plume, out of which I was to choose one for my first article—which article I never thought of preserving, any more than the succeeding ones,..
All-Time Favorite Cranberry Recipes
by AnonymousCultivation of cranberries began in Massachusetts nearly 200 years after the landing of the Pilgrims. In 1816 Henry Hall of Dennis, Cape Cod, noticed that cranberries seemed to grow larger and juicier where sand from the dunes blew over the vines.

Australasia Triumphant!
by A. St. John AdcockIt is too soon to attempt the telling at large and in detail of all that has been done by Australia and New Zealand in the Great War.

But, first of all, I think that perhaps I had better say something about what we generally call their “life-history.”Of course you know that butterflies and moths are not butterflies and moths to begin with...

Penmanship - Teaching and Supervision
by Leta Severance HilesReading, writing, and arithmetic have for long been looked upon as the fundamentals in education. And in very truth they are. Altogether too little attention has been given the expression of thought involved in the study of any school subject whether such expression takes the form of oral or written language.
