e an idea of what this remarkable
book is like."--_T.P.'s Weekly._

"The reader will lay down the book as I did, with a feeling of profound
sympathy and gratitude to the unknown writer, in whose pages they can
hear the tremulous throb of an intense emotion, which, however, does not
obscure the finer and strongest note of heroic resolve."--_The late W.
T. Stead._

THE BEST BOYS' BOOK OF STORIES.

TOLD IN THE DORMITORY

BY R. G. JENNINGS.

_In Handsome Cloth Cover, and with Frontispiece in Colour. Price, 3/6;
posted, 3/9._

[Illustration]

Mr. R. G. Jennings is one of the best-known teachers in Melbourne.
Hundreds of boys belonging to the Church of England Grammar School have
listened with breathless interest to these stories, told them by their
master after lessons, "In the Dormitory." The boys all voted the stories
so good that the best twelve were collected and are now published.

The stories are clean, wholesome and exciting, and many an elder
brother, as well as the father, of a family, has picked up the volume to
give it a rapid glance, and has had to read story after story, only
putting the book reluctantly down when the last page was reached.

If you want to read a good school-boy book of adventuresome yarns, or
make some small youth happy, then get a copy of "Told in the Dormitory."
Just look at what the papers have said about it:--

"Entertaining yarns, well told, without a hint of padding or
affectation."--_The Athenaeum_.

"The sort of yarns boys love."--_The New Age._

"They are tersely presented, direct, and pointed.... The book will be
read with delight by boys at school and with interest by older
folk."--_Adelaide Register_.

"These wholesome and terse stories, 'Told in the Dormitory,' are just
what will delight elder boys--and such of their parents as still
remember school days."--_Geelong Advertiser._
