Nearly all these books are for boys and girls over ten years of age, but 

 many of the younger children will enjoy them. They will make good 

 reading aloud in the home and good reading aloud at school. The books 

 have paper covers and will need to be handled carefully, but this will be 

 good experience. We know that our boys and girls in the rural schools 

 are going to overcome all slovenly habits, and so you will doubtless be 

 glad to show how well you can take care of these simple books until they 

 have been read by every one in the class.
