This little book contains verse and text with religious overtones and moral instruction that point out a child's good and bad behavior.
This page warns children that truants who disobey their parents and lie and steal are "pretty sure to be punished." Instead, children are encouraged to say "No, I won't" when tempted and even choose to die instead of doing something wrong. The illustration shows two boys urging another boy to do something "bad" while a fourth boy looks on. |
| Contextual Notes | The American Tract Society was founded in New York in 1825 to publish evangelistic Christian literature. The society was located at 150 Nassau St., New York between 1832 and at least 1876.
Knud Iverson was a young Norwegian boy from Chicago, Illinois who was supposedly drowned in 1853 by a group of other boys when he refused to steal apples with them. |
