EDITOR.


DEAR EDITOR:

I have never written to you before, so you don't know my
name. Papa is on the school committee, so you sent him a
sample copy. I saw it, and was very much interested in it. I
am extremely fond of reading and have read at least ten
different histories. And with one exception I like your
little book best of all. You can imagine how well I like to
read when I tell you I am eleven years old, and have read
over seven hundred prose books, and the books of ten
different poets. I could read primary lessons when I was
three years old.

Yours truly,
ELEANOR J.L.

P.S.--I am going to earn money so I can subscribe.
