Never in the history of juvenile fiction have copyrighted books of thisclass been sold at a price so sensational, for beyond dispute theOakdale Stories are of the highest grade, such as other publishersmarket to retail at $1.25 or $1.50 a volume. In no respect, save inprice, can these be designated as cheap books; in manufacture, inliterary finish, and in the clean, healthy, yet fascinating, nature ofthe stories they are destined to take rank with the works of the mastersof fiction for the modern youth. The first volume is a narrative ofschool life and football, which, while in no way sensational will cast aspell almost hypnotic upon every young reader, from which he will findit impossible to escape until he has read through to the last word ofthe last chapter. The tale of the struggles of Ben Stone, a boymisunderstood, an outcast, a pariah, will excite the sympathy of all;and his final triumph over adversity, the scheming of an enemy, and theseemingly malign rebuffs of fate, will be hailed with joy.

=Boys of Oakdale Academy=
by Morgan Scott
12mo., cloth. Illustrated. Price, 60c
This is a brisk, vigorous, snappy, story in which wintersports--snowshoeing, skating, rabbit hunting, and such--are features. Inthe tale Rodney Grant, a young Texas cowboy, appears at Oakdale andattends the academy, being adjudged an imposter by the New England lads,who entertain a mistaken notion that all Texans swagger and bluster andtalk in the vernacular. As Grant is quiet and gentlemanly in his bearingand will not, for some mysterious reason, take part in certain violentsports, they erroneously imagine him to be a coward; but eventually,through the demands of necessity and force of circumstances, the fellowfrom Texas is led to prove himself, which he does in a most effectivemanner, becoming, for the time being, at least, the hero of the village.This is a story of vigorous, healthy boys and their likes and dislikes;it is brimming over with human nature and, while true to real life, isas fascinating as the most imaginative yarn of adventure.
