COMMENTS ON FIRST READER 



George Howells, Superintendent of Schools, Scranton^ Pa. 



" Since receiving ' First Nature Reader ' by Mrs, Wilson I have read 

 every line in the book, and I wish to say that I have seen nothing in 

 the line of Nature Study as good as this little volume." 



Addison Jones, Principal of Public School, Westchester, Pa. 



" We are using in our primary schools ' Nature Study in Elementary 

 Schools' and the reader by the same author. These books aid us in 

 doing excellent work in the line of elementary science."
