Stoddard Lectures
In the library which was destroyed
by the burning recently of our

i set of Stoddard's lectures. The
books weje the most popular of all i
in the llbfary, being" in great demand
by the teachers for refding to
ine.r ciuses ic. connection with their
school work; chiefly that of geogra- I
phy, history and literature, tfhat
experience led me to regard the lectuera
as a strong od^cational factor.
They are attractive from any point
of view. The language Is splendid,
the descriptions graphic and the illustrations
superb and realistic. I
believe that tb^ae books would be
highly beneficial to any person who
might read them; and I should especially
like to have oar young people
read them, both for the intrinsic
merit of the books themselves and
as an antidote to so much trashy lit
