STORY, ESSAY, AND VERSE
Edited by Charles Swain Thomas, of the Editorial Department of the Atlantic Monthly Press, and Harry G. Paul, of the University of Illinois.
An anthology from the Atlantic Monthly, designed for colleges and senior high schools. Here are exhilarating tales that will hold every student’s interest, essays and poems of vigor and delicacy—the whole a collection that is “literature” in the fine old sense of the word, and “all right” in the vernacular of the wide-awake youth of to-day.
YOUTH AND THE NEW WORLD
An anthology of “Atlantic Monthly” articles collected and edited for colleges and senior high schools by Ralph P. Boas of the Central High School, Springfield, Massachusetts.
Now, as perhaps seldom before, it is vital to society that young people should face and think through the demands of their day. This collection of personal reactions to economic, social, educational, and religious problems challenges attention, arouses steady interest in definite problems, and starts young minds on their necessary quest of logical and constructive ideas. It will make classroom discussion enthusiastic and incisive and will keenly stimulate the student’s powers in oral and written composition.
THE ATLANTIC BOOK OF MODERN PLAYS
Edited by Sterling A. Leonard of the University of Wisconsin.
For colleges, senior high schools, and the general reader; with notes for school use and an introduction helpful to anyone interested in the study of dramatic technique.
The best of modern drama is represented in this carefully selected volume. The names of Dunsany, Yeats, Synge, Lady Gregory, Galsworthy indicate somewhat the consistent merit of the collection and the certain stimulus of the chosen plays.
ATLANTIC USAGE
By George B. Ives
A practical guide to the best usage in matters of punctuation, spelling, syllabification, and other technical points in the preparation of manuscripts and of magazines and books. It is based upon the traditions of the Atlantic Monthly and the experience of the author, through whose hands the copy and proof of the magazine have passed for the last seventeen years.
SHACKLED YOUTH
By Edward Yeomans
Readers of the Atlantic will recall the stimulating articles on History, Geography, and The School Shop, by Edward Yeomans, a Chicago manufacturer. To these he has added other papers, dealing in a liberal spirit with various aspects of American education. They are certain to arouse wide and fruitful discussion.
