These questions conMitute a supplement to Reading Lesson No. 

 12 {Orcharding : the preliininajries). Its pnrp)ose is to induce the 

 reader to think caref tolly ahotot what he reads. Ansioer the gues- 

 tions as best you can and return this sheet to us (2 cents postage). 

 We %oant these answers in order that we may know ivhat interest 

 you are taking in the Reading- Course and how i.tuch good you are 

 getting from it j and we %oant to Itelp you when you do not under- 

 stand the problems involved. We are after results, and do not 

 care about the handwriting nor the grammar. These anstoers are 

 for our own examination and are not to be made public. We 

 should be glad of any comments on these lessons. 



It is hoped that readers loill form themselves into little clubs, to 

 Tneet once or twice a month to discuss the problems raised by the 

 lessons. 



Those who answer the questions loill receive f dure lessons.
