TRANSLATED BY

ALEXANDER KERR,

Emeritus Professor of Greek in the University of
Wisconsin

Plato's Republic is one of the world's classics, that for many generations has been a precious possession of the leisure class. It is acute in its logic (once the premises are granted) and most charming in its style. Many competent critics, including Horace White of the New York Evening Post, testify that Professor Kerr has preserved the flavor of the original better than any of his predecessors, and his English is of the sort the average wage-worker can readily understand.

Plato's Republic is the first and greatest of the utopias, of the attempts to work out a model social order from abstract principles of right and justice. If it is read with a clear understanding that it represent the best thought, not of today, but of 2,300 years ago, it will be invaluable to the student of social evolution.

Our edition when complete will be in ten books; of these six are now ready. Mailed separately for 15 cents each, or the six for 90 cents.

The CLASS STRUGGLE

[graphic]

New Socialist Game

Good Fun Good Propaganda

"The Whole Family Can Play It."

This game is played in the same manner as the old-fashioned games of backgammon or parcheesi. There is a chart divided into a hundred unequal spaces, through which is a path winding up one column and down another, starting from Capitalism and ending in Socialism. The game is played with one die, and as many markers as there are players. Every player in turn throws the die, and advances his marker as many spaces as are indicated by the number which falls uppermost. But here and there are spaces in which are pictures and inscriptions showing incidents in the class struggle. Those which are favorable to labor set the player ahead a certain number of spaces if the number he throws lands his marker on one of them; those favorable to capital set him back. Thus the game is full of suggestions helping young people to realize the opposing interests at play in the class struggle now going on.

Price, 25 cents; to stockholders, 15 cents, postpaid. Agents wanted. CHARLES H. KERR & COMPANY, Publishers 153 Kinzie Street, CHICAGO
