CHILDREN'S LITERATURE.
Whnt "St. Nicholas has Done for
Boys and Girls.
Victor Hugo calls this "the woman's cen
tury , " and ho might have added that it is the
children's century as well , for never before in
the world's history has so much thought been
paid to children their schools , their books ,
their pictures , mid their toys. Childhood , as
we understand It , is a recent discovery.
Up to the time of the issue of the St. Nicholas
las Magazine seventeen years ago literature
and children's magazines were almost contra
dictory terms , but the new periodical started
out with the idea that nothing was too good
for children ; the result has been a juvenile
magazine genuine with conscientious pur
pose , the greatest writers contributing to it ,
with the best artists and engravers helping to
beautify it , and everything tuned to the
key-note of youth.
It has been the special aim of St. Nicholas to
supplant unhealthy literature with stories of
a living and healthful interest. It will iiot do
to take fascinating had literature out of boys'
hands , and give them in its place Mrs. Bnr-
bauld and Peter Parley , or the work of writers
who think that any "good-y" talk will do for
the children , but they must bavo strong , In
teresting reading , with the blood and sinew of
real life in it. reading that will waken them tea
a closer observation of the best things about
them.
In the seventeen years of its life St. Nicholas
has not only elevated the children , but it has
also elevated the tone of contemporary child
reii's literature as well. Many of its stories ,
like Mrs. Burnett's "Little Lord Fauntleroy , "
have become classic. It is not too much to
say that almost every notable young people's
story now produced in American first seeks
the light in the pages of that magazine.
The year 1891 will prove once more that "no
household where there are children is com
plete without St. Nicholas. " J. T.Trowbridge
Noah Brooks. Charles Dudley Warner , ana
many well-known writers are to contribute
during this coming year. One cannot put the
spirit of St. Nicholas into a prospectus , but
the publishers are glad to send a full an
nouncement of the features for 1891 and a
sinirle sample copy to the address of any per
son mentioning this notice. The magazine
costs 3.00 a year. Address The Century Co. ,
33 East 17th St. . New York.
