WHAT OUR BOYS AND GIRLS SHOULD KNOW.
The aim of the modern magazine publisher is to specialise, not to scatter. He does not, if he is wise, try to cover all earth and sea and sky with hiß contents will, or to appaal to every :lass and age. Two magazines that illustrate this point has just arrived. They are "Life" and "Everylady's Journal" for December. The forme.r appeal specially to busy men., and the latter to busy housewives; and together they provide a perfect complement for any home, however large or Bmall. This particular issue of "Life," happen?, however, to be specially wide in its appeal; for every member of the household, from the father to the small boy, will be profoundly interested in the moving story of Captain Scott's last, greatest, and, alas! fruitless struggle to reach his base of supplies. The story of the desperate battle, the pictures of the doomed party, taken at the South Pole, and the photos of the grim relics of the lost light, are things to ba engraven on the memory. This is but the keystone of a magnificent march of reading provided by the editor in the December issue of "Life." "Everylady's Journal" is, as usual, replete with good things. Notable, this month, are ths pages devoted to the fashions review and forecast, the admirable Australian stories and articles, the money-making and labour saving devices set forth, and the third of the adventure stories in that world-fmous series "What Happened to Mary?" The editor of "Everylady's Journal" has been fortunate m securing the sole Australasian rights of the "What Happened to Mary?" stories, and we shall look with interest for the continuance of the series. In "Everylady's Journal" for December appears a striking symposium by noted Australian on "What Our Boys and Giria Should be Taught," that we commend to thoughtful parents. A shilling spent in buying both "Life" and "Everyladv's Journal" will ' provide the whole family with much good reading.
