- Published by the Commercial Press: books for children
- Dongfang University recruits students
The readable advertising headings identify children’s books published by the Commercial Press and student recruitment at Dongfang University. This partial reading preserves commercial and educational notices on the first page; it does not substitute unrelated news for the advertisement-heavy source.
Partial reading: the Commercial Press imprint and children’s-books heading, and the Dongfang University recruitment heading only; catalogue text, prices and admission details are untranscribed.

Context
Children as a publishing audience
A heading for children’s books addresses readers at an early stage of learning, and the adults choosing material for them. It makes age and education part of how books are marketed. The newspaper serves as a meeting place between a publisher’s catalog and household decisions about reading.
The Commercial Press and educational publishing
The Commercial Press, founded in Shanghai in 1897, developed a substantial educational publishing business. Its children’s books fit a broader effort to supply learning materials rather than only literature for established adult readers. The publisher’s name in the advertisement carried that educational identity.
Recruitment as an educational decision
The university notice asks readers to take action, unlike a report describing campus events. Alongside the children’s-book advertisement, it shows education at different stages appearing as choices on a commercial newspaper page: acquiring reading material and seeking admission to an institution.
