The best, the largest, the most entertaining, the most beautifully illustrated, and the widest in range, of all magazines for young people.  It is the official organ of the C.Y.F.R.U., and, as heretofore, will publish the Required Readings, and all needed information for members of the Union.  The magazine proper will be even more brilliant and valuable than before during the next year.

Ideal literature and ideal art for young people and the family, for entertainment, for the healthful training of the body and the liberal education for the mind, fill this magazine each month from cover to cover.  It has won recognition from the American and English press as the largest and best, the most beautiful and original, and the most ably edited magazine of its class in the world.  It gives each month original music by eminent composers.

“WIDE AWAKE” is the wonder of all the wonderfully beautiful children’s magazines and books of America.  Without dispute the largest, handsomest, most artistic and best young people’s periodical ever issued.  There is no juvenile magazine published in the country so carefully edited.”—­Boston Transcript.

  “A treasure of good morals.”—­N.Y.  Tribune.

  “At the head of juvenile periodical stands WIDE AWAKE all the
  time.”—­Phil.  Inquirer.

  “A whole family library in itself.”—­Putnam Patriot.

  “Unsurpassed in skilful adaptation to young folks’ needs.”—­Chicago
  Standard.
