Excerpt from A Fourth Reader While doubtless much good has come from reading the brief selec tions from standard authors found in the ordinary readers, they have failed of the prime purpose of inculcating a fondness for literature in its completeness and a taste for reading good books. It is not improbable that the too prevalent taste for scrappy reading is partially derived from the character of the reading books upon which children have been fed. Hence as many selections as possible in these Readers are given in full, and it is urged that teachers treat them as complete works of literature and see that they are studied as such.

Excerpt from Everyday Classics: Fourth Reader A classic is something more easily known than defined. It is not necessarily abstruse, difficult, or remote from common life. It is a piece of literature that has received the approval of good judges for a long enough time to make that approval settled. Like good music, it cannot grow old; it is last year's rag-time that becomes unpleasant, not the good old songs. A classic may be as old as Homer, or as new as Hawthorne; it may be as difficult as Dante, or as simple as Mother Goose.

Excerpt from The Fourth Reader of the Popular Series With reference to the few "Oral Exercises" found at the bottoms of pages in this and the preceding numbers, we would say, that they are not designed, in the least, to teach grammar; but to lead pupils in a natural, easy and philosophical way, and of their own efforts, to comprehend the meaning of what they read, and to explain it to others, void of technicalities. The Writing Exercises have a still higher object. They are a novel, and, as we believe, truly philosophical method of daily drill in the construction of sentences. As here planned they are exercises that will not be found at all difficult for those who go through them systematically, from the beginning of the book, while, at the same time, they will require some thought, on the part of pupils, to change the phraseology as required, - and more and more of it as the pupil advances; while in the latter part of this Fourth Reader he will find that he may exercise his judgment still further in selecting the best among several possible forms of expression. - [See the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Series of Exercises, pp. 200, 225, and 289.] It may be asked, "Why encumber a Reading Book with Exercises of this character, - and why not devote a separate work to them instead?" We answer, "Because they are very appropriately connected with lessons in reading, and really form part of them; - because they are much cheaper in this form than in any other; - and, what is most important, because they will be used extensively in this form, and without the necessity of separate classes in the school, and separate books." They are, moreover, to some extent, brief analyses of the Chapters; and hence, in addition to their main object, they serve as a kind of daily review of the reading lessons. Having long been convinced, both from our experience as a teacher and from the well-known views of prominent educators, that children are seldom provided with sufficient school-reading in their Reading Books, we have made most of the numbers of the present series somewhat larger than is usual. We have aimed, thereby, to make the gradation, from the beginning, very easy, and still to attain as high a standard in the selections of the Fifth, and the Supplementary number, as the needs of pupils require. There is little danger that the amount of interesting and useful school-reading will be too abundant. Parents can provide their children with no better, safer, or cheaper reading - considering quality and adaptability - than is generally found in their Reading Books.

Excerpt from Child Classics; The Fourth Reader When a community takes upon itself the responsibility of teaching its children to read it should assume at the same time that greater re sponsibility of teaching them what to read. A series of school readers designed to teach the art of reading should therefore carry in its pages that which will train in the choice of reading. The cultivation of this habit should begin with the primer. From the first page the child should go to the book to get thought, not merely exercise in word calling. The succeeding books should gradually develop a high and catholic taste, and foster this taste by establishing early the custom of reading standard books at home.
