Protect Your Daughter
from the evil influence of so-called "light" reading
The " dime novels" of other days are no longer to be feared, but the society novel and the problem novel, now so popular in our public libraries, are working far greater havoc in the minds and imaginations of the girls who read them. And nearly all do. The evil influence of these modern themes should be a subject for long and serious reflection for all conscientious fathers and mothers.
The best way of combating the evil
is to offer the young girl a carefully compiled selection of literature suitable for her immature tastes and tendencies — something so intensely vital in subject matter and absorbingly interesting in style, that she instinctively prefers it to the suggestive writings of the authors of the day. With this method in view we have had prepared at great expense a set of ten handy volumes called
Every Girl's Library
which includes only the choicest selections from the world's best authors — fiction, mythology, folklore, poetry, essays, important historical happenings, lives of the mothers of great men, as well as the lives of the world's greatest women. Every selection is wholesome and fascinating:, while all of them together are so varied in subject and broad in scope that they form the basis of a most liberal education.
These names on the title page are a guarantee of the inestimable value of this work :
Margaret E. Songster Percy Keese Fitzhugh
Ella Wheeler Wilcox Stella George Stern Perry
These ten beautiful volumes contain over 3500 pages, and are printed from a new cast of 10-point type, large, clear, and on pure white antique paper, specially made for the edition. The pages are wide, with liberal margins, and illustrated by specially made line-cut frontispieces. Bound in de luxe art cloth, backs and sides stamped with ornamental designs, size A\i x 7l/2 inches.

You Get the Job
That's what the trained man, the expert in his line, hears today from the man that hires.
Worth-while jobs are not given out haphazard. Training: lands the job— training: that means high-grade work and a short cut to results. And training wins quick advancement to still better jobs.
The day of the "Jack-of-all-trades" is passed. This is the time of the specialist. No concern can afford to place a high-grade equipment in the hands of low-grade men. Competition forces employers to meet skill with skill.

Every month upward of 300 I. C. S. students write to Scranton to tell of positions secured or bettered— of earnings increased and prospects brightened— through study of I. C. S. Courses. Last month the number was 416. The letters came from every section and from all sorts and conditions of men.
If you wish to make sure of the job you want— there is an I. C. S. way for you. To find out all about it, mark and mail the coupon. Doing so will commit you to nothing, place you under no obligation, and may prove the turning point in your career,
