Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Nicholas, Vol. 23: An Illustrated Magazine for Young Folks; Part I, November, 1895, to April, 1896 His parents were people in very moderate circumstances, the father being a goldsmith by the name of Gerome, and the little boy was christened jean-leon. As the child grew up he developed into a bright, quick, active boy; and at no little sacrifice, for money was not plenty in his home, he was sent to a good school and afterward to college, from which he graduated at the age of Sixteen years. With no social position and without friends in high places to help him, this boy nevertheless came to be one of the most famous men of his time, and to-day he is honored, famous, prosperous, and rich. He has more medals and decorations than he could ever conveniently wear, and wherever people talk about pictures his name is known as that of one of the greatest of modern artists.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Nicholas, Vol. 29: An Illustrated Magazine for Young Folks; Part II, May, 1902, to October, 1902 The visitor to the Great Lakes who strolls along the riverside of Belle Isle, near Detroit, may see, almost any time, some part of the grand parade of the lake ships. The shingling and crunching contact of the first steamer's bow is hardly heard in the ice of the Strait of Mackinac. In April before the early starters of this parade are under way from Chicago with the first loads of grain in the new season. While these cargoes are being stored in the Buffalo elevators, the answering crack Of the frosty covering of the St. Mary's River proclaims that navigation is Open from Duluth, and the gates Of the great locks at the Soo swing wide to admit the spring ships from Lake Superior.

Then his actual life as a fireman begins, an experience fraught with many dangers. But it is rarely that we find our firemen "losing their heads"; and although raising a scaling-ladder to rescue some one amid the confusion and smoke of an actual fire is not at all like practice in the quiet yard at Headquarters, with a great big net stretched underneath to catch them should they fall, yet they are always ready and anxious to perform such a duty. The people may well be grateful to the graduates of this excellent School for Firemen. In eighteen hundred and blankety-nine, On a summer day, when the weather was fine, There was held--to settle some old disputes--A society known as the Congress of Brutes. From the whole round earth to its uttermost ends Were gathered the delegates and their friends; When all had assembled, and order prevailed, The hedgehog arose and remarked that he failed "To perceive the relation of which to what, When the wherefore is whether it was, or was not." At this half a dozen debaters arose, And the argument deepened--from words into blows. And so they continued to argue and fight, Till the dodo got up and declared't was not right, And called on the others to make some amends By joining the order of Very Good Friends. At this all the delegates threw up their caps, And took the degree of the three mystic raps. That is--I should say--they all did but one--The kangaroo--Who started to run And with great ado Proclaimed that he never would make amends, By joining the order of Very Good Friends.

Book excerpt: The literature referred to is the best that we can suggest. When better shall come to our attention, that will be included, for only "the best is good enough for children." All selections presented have been tried either in this school or elsewhere. Nothing is presented wholly on a theoretical basis. Much literature is offered for each grade-much more than can possibly be presented. The intention is to refer to types of suitable material, leaving to the teacher the selection of that which best accords with the characteristics of the pupils and the limitations of the school library. Sometimes the teacher will find the material that will best suit the pupils in a list several grades either above or below the one indicated. This is true, both of the school work and of the home reading.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Nicholas, Vol. 22: An Illustrated Magazine for Young Folks On a certain June morning in the year 1806, when the sunshine flooded all things, and every nightingale in France seemed practising for the post of court singer, a boy lay at the foot of one of the great chestnuts in the park of St. Cloud. He was small, disreputable-looking, and dilapidated, - a tramp, and a ragged little tramp at that; but his eye was bright and snappy; his tangled hair, crowned with the wreck of a red liberty-cap, was thick and golden; and his face, though it bore the stamp of poverty as it bore its crust of grime, had that careless, happy-go-lucky air that marks the street-boy of any great city. His restless eyes took in everything the noble park had to offer. He was evidently on the lookout for some place or some person. But, tired with his ten-mile tramp, and overpowered by the glorious solitude of all out-of-doors - burdened, also, with the weight of the important secret that had led him so far from his dingy home in the narrow Street of the Washerwomen, he had flung himself down at the foot of the great chestnut to talk it all over with himself for want of a listening comrade. "My faith!" he said, as he closed one eye and squinted the other along the fat tree-trunk, and into the over-arching branches, "but this is n't the Court of the Miracles now, nor yet the Street of the Washerwomen, is it? What big trees! What a lot of room! Lonesome, though, I think, when the night comes down; even the Street of the Washerwomen would be better than this, for there are plenty of people there, - more than a plenty sometimes, especially when that pig of a Pierre comes shoving across the street to tease Babette and set my two fists a-going! But I like people. There's more to see in a crowd of people than in a crowd of trees - more to do, too. But here's where the Little Corporal's big house is, somewhere among these trees. I wonder where? I saw a pile of buildings on the hill farther along, as I came up here. Perhaps I can find the Emperor there. I must; I must n't say what I came for to any one else. I wonder how one talks to an emperor? Must I say 'Citizen Emperor, ' or 'Citizen Little Corporal, ' or 'Citizen' what? I must find out before I get up to his house.
