  =The Camp on Letter K=

  The story deals with two active boys in Aroostook County close to thenortheastern boundary of our country, and where smuggling across theCanadian line has been prevalent. Equally ready in athletics, hunting,or helping their families on the rich farms of that section, thesegood chums have many exciting adventures, the most important of whichdirectly concerns the leading smugglers of the district, and animportant public service is rendered by the boys.

  "There is an atmosphere about the whole book that is attractive to boys, and it will be read by them with enthusiastic delight."--_Democrat and Chronicle, Rochester, N. Y._

  =Raymond Benson at Krampton=

  Raymond Benson and his friend, Ned Grover, go to Krampton Academy,which is no other than the noted school at New Hampton, N. H., whereMr. Burleigh was fitted for college. We have had good books telling ofthe larger and more aristocratic preparatory schools, but never beforeone that so well told of life at a typical country academy of the sortthat have furnished the inspiration for so many successful men.

  "It is interesting from start to finish, and while rousing and full of enthusiasm, is wholesome in spirit, and teaches lessons of purity and justice and manliness in real life."--_Herald & Presbyter._

  =The Kenton Pines=

  THE KENTON PINES]

  "Kenton College" is Bowdoin College, beautiful in its location andfamous in its history. Raymond's athletic abilities insure himimmediate and enduring prominence as a student, and the accounts ofathletic contests will stir the blood of any one. But the book is farmore than a tale of these things; it is a wonderful picture of life ata smaller college, with all its fine hard work, "grinds," andtriumphs. It is a book that rings true on every manly question.

  "This book, like the other of the series, is of a very high character, and should be an inspiration to all boys contemplating a college career."--_Interior._
