Rensselaer People Should Read “A Master’s Degree."

No Rensselaer person should fail to read Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter’s latest story, “A Master’s Degree.” We have said that no Rensselaer person should fail to read it, because'Mrs. McCarter in the eighties taught school here for some time and our people will feel a deep interest in her literary work. The story which she tells so entertainingly is Worthy the careful reading of every person, no matter where they live. The story is enacted in a Kansas college town and the influence of the president of the college on the lives of those with whom he Came in contact is a feature of the story that will appeal to all who read it. The college president himself sums up the story very beautifully in the closing chapter when he says at the close of the school year and the completion of the course of Several of the prominent characters the story: “There is an A. B. for those who have mastered the course at Sunrise and a master’s degree for those Who have conquered themselves.” It is more than a romance, it is the working out of practical problems of life and should inspire the young and cheer the old. Mrs. McCarter’s former books have all enjoyed large sales, being especially in demand in Kansas, but this latest work will certainly command an extensive sale throughout the land.
