Excerpt from Barbara's Philippine Journey The two books of Jane Andrews, however, Seven Little Sisters and Each and All, have shown the possibilities in this field when a master hand works it. Their two most striking merits are, first, that they do not deal with the earth alone, - the most common fault in most treatments, - but with the earth in relation to man; they center the interest in personalities, and might, in fact, be called biographical studies of geography second, the facts are presented in story form, with a style causing them to take rank as literature. One of the great needs in this field is that of more books of this sort. The story of Barbara's Philippine Journey bids fair, I believe, to be classed with these two books of Jane Andrews. It covers different ground with a very different plan. But it likewise pre sents the facts in relation to a child, and in a style that is even more simple than that of Jane Andrews, while being very attractive.
