WHAT PROMINENT EDUCATORS SAY

=W. T. Harris=, _Commissioner of Education, Washington, D. C._: "I
have examined very carefully one of the abridgments from Walter Scott,
and I would not have believed the essentials of the story could have
been retained with so severe an abridgment. But the story thus abridged
has kept its interest and all of the chief threads of the plot. I am
very glad that the great novels of Walter Scott are in course of
publication by your house in such a form that school children, and
older persons as yet unfamiliar with Walter Scott, may find an easy

abridgments as you have made for a great extension of Walter Scott's
usefulness."

=William H. Maxwell=, _Superintendent of Public Instruction, New
York City_: "I take great pleasure in commending to those who are
seeking for good reading in the schools, the Standard Literature
Series. The editors of the series have struck out a new line in the

=Walter B. Gunnison=, _Principal Erasmus Hall High School, Brooklyn, N.

Literature Series, and have examined them all with care. I regard them
as a distinct addition to the scho
