CHILD LIFE IN LITERATURE— 



A Fourth Reader In preparation 



The central idea of these books is to hold the child' s interest by giving him 

 reading-matter (profusely illustrated) that he can utiderstand and enjoy. The lessons, 

 therefore, relate exclusively to chiui life. 



The First and Second Readers have easier readi>ig-7natter and more of it than 

 do most of the other readers now available for first and second year. They have been 

 graded with the utmost care. 



These books, beginning with the Second Reader, have been planned as an introduc- 

 tion to literature. The subject-matter, therefore, is confined to material of recognized 

 literary value. 



The aim of the publishers has been to produce an ai'tistic set of Readers that 

 shall be mechanically as nearly perfect as possible. 



As a unique feature in binding, they would call attention to the coi'ers, ichich are 

 zuater-froof, and can be cleansed, when soiled by constant handling, without injury to 

 the book.
