"It is such books as 'Richard Dare's Venture' that are calculated to inspire young readers with a determination to succeed in li*e, and to choose some honorable walk in which to find that success. The author, Edward Stratemeyer, has shown a judgment that is altogether too rare in the maker." of books for boys, in that he has avoided that sort of heroics in the picturing of the life of his hero which deals in adventures of the daredevil sort.
