      You know W.E.B Du Bois didn't play... he expected folks to come out the womb reading... so of course this "children's magazine" was going to be high post LOL!   I did notice too the magazine is called "The Brownies Book"... it looks a little bit like a sophisticated version of HighLights Magazine ...do you remember?1970s-vintage-Highlights-for-Children-ma
