Uncle Toby's Legacy: Children's Columns in the Provincial Newspaper Press, 1873–1914

Abstract

Hitherto Newspapers, while addressing themselves to the Family Circle, have contained little of real interest and pleasure for Girls and Boys, who, although called upon to read the paper for the benefit of others, seldom find anything in it to suit their own tastes and feelings. As regards the Aberdeen Weekly Journal, this will no longer be the case. Arrangements have been made for publishing every week a column or more ofparticular interest to young people, dealing with all kinds of subjects, which they are sure to think about, and like to read about. 1
