APPLETONS’ HOME-READING BOOKS. 
Edited by W. T. HARRIS, A, M., LL. D., U. S. Commissioner 
of Education. 
The purpose of the HoME-READING Books is to provide whole- 
some, instructive, and entertaining reading for young people during 
the early educative period, and more especially through such means 
to bring the home and the school into closer relations and into more 
thorough cooperation. They furnish a great variety of recreative 
reading for the home, stimulating a desire in the young pupil for 
further knowledge and research, and cultivating a taste for good litera- 
ture that will be of permanent benefit to him.
