Sunshine. By Amy Johnson. (Macmillan and Co.)—A great deal of
rudimentary science and philosophy is made easy for children in Sunshine. We have the innumerable experiments and commonplace tricks that everybody knows reacted, amplified, explained, and illustrated ; this can never be done too often. Most people are lamentably deficient in the understanding of the old familiar tricks and dodges. Not only is this the case, but the practice of them is becoming scarcer, surely a subject for regret when one remembers that the most striking and simple expositions of natural science are capable of performance by children. Women, who are disgracefully ignorant of these natural laws, though they make use of them every day, do not care for them, though they might give their children such admirable lessons, and so give them the most liberal of educations. Let some mothers buy Sunshine, and they will have done something to remove the reproach.
