The Boy Craftsman]
Every real boy wishes to design and make things, but the questions ofmaterials and tools are often hard to get around. Nearly all books onthe subject call for a greater outlay of money than is within the meansof many boys, or their parents wish to expend in such ways. In this booka number of chapters give suggestions for carrying on a small businessthat will bring a boy in money with which to buy tools and materialsnecessary for making apparatus and articles described in other chapters,while the ideas are so practical that many an industrious boy can learnwhat he is best fitted for in his life work. No work of its class is socompletely up-to-date or so worthy in point of thoroughness andavoidance of danger. The drawings are profuse and excellent, and everyfeature of the book is first-class. It tells how to make a boy'sworkshop, how to handle tools, and what can be made with them; how tostart a printing shop and conduct an amateur newspaper, how to makephotographs, build a log cabin, a canvas canoe, a gymnasium, a miniaturetheatre, and many other things dear to the soul of youth.

Mr. Responsibility, Partner]
This is frankly a book with a purpose, and its purpose is to teach boysthe fundamental business customs of every-day life, and at the same timeencourage the sound traits of character essential to commercial successand good citizenship. This is done by a good and interesting story ofsome live boys, whose experiences will hold the attention of every one.The leading spirit is pictured with a healthy boy's human qualities tobe trained, and impulses to be overcome. A companionable and sensiblefather aids him judiciously, and leaves success to be worked out onnatural lines. All the stage effects of the cheaper kinds of boys' booksare blissfully absent; there are no villains plotting against theupright, no nations saved by the precocious intelligence of youth, andno impossible adventure or accomplishment--just the problems beforeaverage boys, and that can be solved as these boys solve them if "Mr.Responsibility" is recognized as a partner in all undertakings, and onelearns to see and grasp his opportunities. A book that any boy wouldlike, and that every boy ought to have.
"It is an inspiring book to any boy who wants to learn to be a good business man."--_Buffalo News_.
"Entertaining, instructive, and just such a book as boys will love."--_Portland, Me., Press_.
"For the boys still young enough to revel in "juvenile stories" MR. RESPONSIBILITY is about as good as is to be found."--_San Francisco Town Talk_.
"The story is one that boys will enjoy and that parents can safely put in their hands."--_Lowell Courier Citizen_.
"A wholesome, informative, worth-while boy's book."--_N. Y. Press_.
