The Parents' Review

A Monthly Magazine of Home-Training and Culture

The "P.R." Letter Bag.

[The Editor is not responsible for the opinions of Correspondents.]

Dear Editor,--I would be very grateful if you or any readers of the Parents' Review, can tell me of some books, magazines or papers in French which would be a help to a young Swiss girl in the care and training of children; also of any simple French books on religion, such as Drummond's or J.D. Miller's. I would be glad to know if translations are to be had of the writings of either of these authors. I would also be glad to hear of some simple children's books, preferably illustrated, which would be suitable to be read to or by children of five and seven.

Yours truly,
Stratford House, Chapel Allerton, Nr. Leeds. R.W. Barran.
