The Golden Age for 1906 A Magazine for all Youth The GOLDEN AGE for 1906 offers to boys and girls the most delightful literature they can get anywhere. It is a magazine for all persons-young in years or in spirit; a friend at home, an aid at school, a good companion always. For Youngest A feature of The GOLDEN AGE will be the literary character of the stories for the youngest readers, and while the stories will be told in simple style, they will, nevertheless, be dignified in tone and there will be absolutely no writing down to children. The test for everything will be: does it interest an adult mind sympathetic with childhood? If the thing cannot stand this test, it is not good enough men, Indians, pioneers; as well as stories of boys and girls, and of school life. Fables of animals, Mother Goose Rhymes, mythology of the stars, with illustrations, and charts of constellations, moon stories, poetry. Not all the stories will be pure fiction; many will be based on historical facts. We purpose, even in the fiction, to teach some bit of history or geography, or a moral lesson-not too obvious. Stories of Greek and Roman mythology. Stories of Norse mythology. Stories of King Arthur and The Knights of the Round Table. Stories of Robin Hood. Negro folk lore of plantation life and animals. Poems and humorous verses. Popular articles on natural science, including: plants,' insects, animals, physics, chemistry, astronomy (short articles, and all simple). Series of articles on health care of the body, eyes, ears, teeth, diet, exercise, cleanliness, etc. Series of articles on how boys and girls may earn money. Series of articles on government; government taught through the men and buildings that typify it in its different branches. Athletics. We shall publish news of athletics of interest to children-school and college games; also stories of sports, etc. History.-True stories of history and biography, written in good style for children. Geography. We purpose to have articles, preferably by school boys and girls, on phases of life in different parts of the world. These must be written by children who know from personal observation what they are writing about. The Work of We shall have both articles and illustrations by boys and girls of all ages whether in or out of school. Whatever we accept will be well paid for, and the name of the writer or illustrator will be published. Illustrations may be drawings or photographs. Nothing will be published merely because it is written by a boy or girl; it must have intrinsic merit. THE GOLDEN AGE WILL BE PUBLISHED MONTHLY. Please mention THE BOOKMAN in writing to advertisers. The New Library of Poetry SIX CHARMING GIFT BOOKS The Review of Reviews A TWO-YEARS' SUBSCRIPTION A Few Golden "There are many of us who hesitate at a long poem, but who find both rest and inspiration from the briefer utterances of the great poets, and yet who have never had the opportunity or the leisure to cull from the world's literature the briefer poems best worthy to be cherished as friends or even studied as the utterances of the poet prophets. To such this series will serve a useful purpose, and many. I hope, will join me in thanking you for giving the series to the world." LYMAN ABBOTT, "The Outlook" "I have tried Dr. Van Dyke's 'Little Masterpieces of Poetry' on a girl of fif teen, an experienced matron, and an old man; and all three found it a delightful collection. I infer that it is going to be a very serviceable anthology; and I am sure that the wide sale of such a collection is an encouraging sign. It is a real pleasure to have the little volumes always at hand." CHARLES W. ELIOT Harvard University "Permit me to thank you for the 'Little Masterpieces of Poetry,' which seems to be about the most valuable merchandise ever put up in smali packages." CEORGE ADE "I know of no more complete and delightful selection of the best in poetry than that which you offer the public in these charming volumes Masterpieces of Poetry.'" MINNIE MADDERN FISKE "The work is a skilful condensation of many volumes and has a value of its A library one can put in one's dress suit case, and is a good thing to have." own. THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH OVER DR HENRY VAN DYKE, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF R. VAN DYKE and his staff have searched thousands of volumes,-in fact, the whole field of American and English poetry,-to find just those particular poems that you want and that every household ought to have at hand just where father, mother or children can easily get at the most beautiful productions of the master artists without wading through great libraries of books to pick them out. As Dr. Van Dyke himself puts it, these six volumes contain "the finest and most readable poems, arranged in the clearest and most readable order; and the best fruit of the mind and heart of our race presented in the golden basket of verse." Americans, who do not have time as a rule to read poetry, will find the Masterpieces a godsend in enabling them to get in the easiest possible way some glimpses and knowledge of the most perfect poems of our language, knowledge that would otherwise escape their busy life. 500 MASTERPIECES IN VERSE Out of all the flood of books and sets of books that proceed from the presses in baffling multitude, once in a while there comes a work that the world has been waiting for, that is so perfectly adapted to people's intellectual needs, so much better than previous efforts in the same field, and so available for every thinking man and woman, that it claims a place at once as a popular classic. Such is the Masterpieces of Poetry, just published. The poems range from English ballads of unknown date down to Bret Harte and Stevenson. Of all the libraries of poetry that have been published, we predict that this will take first place because of its compact beautiful form, its new classification, and, chief of all, because of Dr. Van Dyke's labor of love in giving the selection the best thought available from the poet, critic and scholar best fitted to select the poetical masterpieces of the English language.
