    Andrews'

    Noiseless

    Kindergarten

    Slates, price 45 cents

    (ruled, on one

    side,

    in squares),

    contain designs

    especially

    adapted to

    Kindergarten

    uses,

    which are

    not

    reproduced here.

    These

    Slates

    and

    this book are intended

    to amuse

    as well

    as

    instruct children,

    and are

    suitable

    for

    use

    in

    schools

    and

    families.

    All

    children

    love

    to

    draw

    and

    are

    continually

    copy-

    ing on

    their

    slates

    such

    simple

    pictures

    as

    they

    can

    find.

    Andrews'

    Drawing Slates

    supply

    them

    not

    only

    with

    the

    surface

    to draw

    upon, but with large numbers'of simple and

    attract-

    ive

    pictures for copying.

    These

    pictures are not

    only

    pleasing

    in

    themselves,

    but convey

    much

    interesting

    and

    useful

    information in regard

    to

    forms

    of plants, flowers,

    animals,

    and architectural and classic

    figures and ornaments. They have

    been accurately

    drawn

    by a well known

    artist

    the plants

    and

    animals from

    nature, and the

    classic and architectural

    forms

    from the

    best

    authorities

    and

    carefully engraved

    in

    outline.

    They may

    be

    relied

    upon

    as

    correct,

    and

    in connection

    with

    a

    dictionary,

    and parents

    ready to

    answer

    or

    help

    their children find

    answers

    to

    the thousand

    questions

    which the

    pictures will

    suggest, will

    furnish the means

    for

    many

    hours

    of useful and delightful

    Holiday

    occupation.

    As most parents will

    wish

    to furnish

    their children with

    the entire series

    of pictures,

    while some

    will

    not

    desire

    to purchase all

    the

    Slates,

    the

    Child's

    First

    Drawing Book

    has

    been prepared

    that

    those

    who

    choose,

    by purchasing

    one Slate and

    the

    Drawing

    Book,

    may

    obtain the

    whole.

    The

    child's

    best

    instructor

    in the use

    of these

    exercises will

    be himself.

    Give

    him

    the

    slates

    and the

    book, and

    the

    opportunity

    to

    try, and

    you

    will

    be

    astonished

    at the

    result,

    They

    have.been

    all

    efforts

    to

    make

    copy

    graceful and

    Kindergarteners

    who have experienced

    this difficulty

    will, we

    feel

    sure,

    appreciate

    the

    results of our

    efforts to

    prepare

    Kindergarten

    with, which

    it

    shall

    be

    possi-

    ble to do

    satisfactory

    work.

    They

    are not likely,

    however,

    to

    realize how

    great those

    efforts

    have been.

    The

    soul

    of

    true

    Kindergartning is Accuracy ;

    and

    Accuracy

    is the

    most

    costly

    of

    attainments. A

    foot rule,

    good

    enough

    for

    most purposes,

    may be

    bought

    for

    ten

    cents

    a three inch

    rule,

    accurate

    such

    as we use

    in

    setting

    our

    tools for

    Kindergarten

    work

    costs

    five

    dollars.

    Similar expense

    attends all efforts to

    secure

    Accuracy

    in

    any

    direction.

    We

    do not

    claim that

    our

    work is

    absolutely perfect

    paper

    will stretch

    we

    claim

    that

    it is

    much better

    than any
