A Britannica Is essential to
the development of the culture
of every home. Just think of

it or something to the same ef
fect Is the one answ.r you give
to halt 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 Encyclopedia
Britannica In the bookcase the
children can no longer stump
you.
For, whatever they want to
know history, geography, lit
erature youll find It fully ex
plained In the Britannica, by the
authority on the subject.
So a Britannica brings you
real close to your boys and girls,
for it enablea you to superintend
their atudy, to make their home
leasons 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.
