The _Boston Globe_ says of Mr. Stoddard's books for boys:
"It was a bold attempt, in the face of the great success of
sensational literature for the young, to seek to bend boys to
self-reliance, duty and honor, by interesting them in the incidents
and rewards of manly boy-life at home and at school, and in its games
and sports; and a good deal of knowledge of boy character, of
sympathy with boy nature, and skill in reaching boy interest, and
regard, were required to accomplish his purpose. The plan was a noble
one, and its results are a triumph which shows that it is possible,
without thrilling adventure on the ocean or in Western wilds, in
exciting scenes of peril and death, or unnatural and bad characters
and situations, to secure the earnest attention of boys and their
approval."
