APPLETONS' SCHOOL READERS,

CONSISTING OF FIVE BOOKS.

By WM. T. HARRIS, LL. D., Supt. of Schools, St. Louis, Mo.; ANDREW J. RICKOFF, A. M., Supt. of Instruction, Cleveland, O.; and MARK BAILEY, A. M., Instructor in Elocution, Yale College.

These Readers, while avoiding extremes and one-sided tendencies, combine into one harmonious whole the several results desirable to be attained in a series of school reading-books. These include good pictorial illustrations, a combination of the word and phonic methods, careful grading, drill on the peculiar combinations of letters that represent vowel-sounds, correct spelling, exercises well arranged for the pupil's preparation by himself (so that he shall learn the great lessons of self-help, self-dependence, the habit of application), exercises that develop a practical command of correct forms of expression, good literary taste, close critical power of thought, and ability to interpret the entire meaning of the language of others.

The high rank which the authors have attained in the educational field and their long and successful experience in prac tical school-work especially fit them for the preparation of text-books that embody all the best elements of modern educative ideas. In the schools of St. Louis and Cleveland, over which two of them have long presided, the subject of reading has received more than usual attention, and with results that have established for them a wide reputation for superior elocutionary discipline and accomplishments.

Of Prof. Bailey, Instructor of Elocution in Yale College, it is needless to speak, for he is known throughout the Union as being without a peer in his profession. His methods make natural, not mechanical readers,

The object of these primers is to convey information in such a manner as to make it both intelligile and interesting to very young pupils, and so to discipline their minds as to incline them to more systematic after studies. They are not only an aid to the pupil, but to the teacher, lightering the task of each by an agreeable, easy, and natural method of instruction. In the Science series some simple experiments have been devised, leading up to the chief truths of eachscience. By this means the pupil's interest i excited. and the memory is impressed so as to retain without difficulty the facts brought under observation. The woodcuts which illustrate these primers serve the same purpose, embellishing and explaining the text at the same time.
