Book Description
Excerpt from The American Normal Readers, Vol. 3 For the primary teacher the study of history, especially in its beginnings, is extremely important. If we would really understand the minds of children, let us turn back to the pages of the past where we may follow the development of the race as it has been led forward toward perfect adjustment and realization, for in the develop ment of the race we may see that of the typical child. By actual experience in teaching we learn that certain things appeal most to children and are therefore most effective at specific stages of their advancement. We are often able to determine very nearly the learning point of the child's mind, and by the study of the child in the light of history we come to understand why all this is true. We see that those elements which have entered most persistently into the development of the race are the very things in which the child finds his greatest delight. This truth has a deep significance in practical education. If we as teachers will be guided by the natural spontaneous interest of children and if we will at the same time direct this interest toward their highest good, following in advance as it were, we shall not be found blindly striving against Nature and perhaps checking many a God-given impulse, but by understanding the child's real need we may be able to supply it more fully and exactly and so to assist the natural course of his advancement. This is the central thought of the American Normal Readers. An effort has been made throughout to provide material interesting and truly profitable to the child because suited to his needs, and helpful and suggestive to the teacher.

Excerpt from The American Normal Readers, Vol. 5 Sweet is the voice that calls From babbling waterfalls In meadows where the downy seeds are flying And soft the breezes blow, And eddying come and go, In faded gardens where the rose is dying.

Excerpt from The American Normal Readers, Vol. 2: Prepared Under the Direction and With the Approval of a Supervisor of Catholic Schools The three stages of education of the individual and of the race are rules, habits, principles. Authority is to be obeyed simply because it is rightful habits are acquired by imitation and by repetition true reverence instills the desire to choose and to follow the good wherever it is recognized. The child must learn that he is under law; the ideals for imitation, whether in fact or in fancy, must always be of the best; and he must never forget that in God he lives, moves and is.

Book Description
Excerpt from The American Normal Readers, Vol. 1: Prepared Under the Direction and With the Approval of a Supervisor of Catholic Schools The primitive arts and crafts are introduced in order to teach in symbolic form the community of human interests, individual rights and obligations, and many rules and principles which underlie personal conduct. The pedagogical value of fable and folklore in their effect upon the imagination has been fully recognized. They have a mythological background, representing the childhood of mankind, and for this reason they never fail to appeal to children. If we are wise in our choice and application, they are excellent tools for our purpose. The laws of association have been faithfully followed. Ideas and their symbols are carefully associated by comparison, by contrast, by relation of time or of place. In this way the child learns to think in an orderly manner, he is able to make true mental pictures, and by sufficient repetition to recall them at will, to remember. Frequent use is made of analogy, and words which have both a literal and a figurative sense are used literally first, so that a clear idea may be formed, and so that figurative language may really mean. Something to the child. If teachers will sow these little seeds carefully now in the imaginative years of childhood, the mind will become more and more appreciative of the best things in literature.

Excerpt from The American Normal Readers, Vol. 4 Now this little book has been invited by your teacher to come in and to tell you many things which she thinks you will be glad to know. I hope very much that it will please you and will prove to be a true friend. You will find here stories of many kinds: tales of adven ture and of fairyland, true stories about countries far away and about the people in those foreign lands, about places in your own country which, perhaps, you have never seen, about boys and girls like you, and about famous men and women, who have lived noble lives for God and for their fellow -men and whose memory will always be loved and honored because Of the good which they have done. You will find, too, many beautiful poems, which are like the songs the stranger would sing for you. These poems will not be hard to understand. You' can readily catch the swing of the rhythm, and you will enjoy them as you enjoy music. I hope you will like all the stories in your book not only for the stories themselves, but also for the meaning in them, - for the thoughts they will bring to your mind.

Book Description
Excerpt from The American School Readers: Third Reader The subject matter has four chief elements: folklore and fairy story, historical stories, nature stories, and poems. The folklore and fairy stories are full of interest to children; they have humor and are decidedly ethical. The offensive stories of wicked relatives are omitted, as being immoral in their tendency. In their place are tales of enterprise and of common life which have become classics, and which tend to elevate the minds and characters of children. Historical stories are valuable at this age, because, while children are interested in fairy tales, they are also interested in real people, and this interest should be fostered in the school readers; so we have stories of Washington, of Lincoln, of Charlemagne, and of other historical characters, all by standard authors.

Book Description
Excerpt from The American School Readers: First Reader The american school first reader is planned as the children's second reading book. It assumes that they can read the usual vocabulary of a good primer, either of this series or of any other. It is, however, closely related to the American School Primer. The children and their pets, whose acquaintance was made in that book, appear again here, with new experiences, in the earlier pages. But the keynote of the book is children's lore. The characters of the primer appear less and less frequently and finally drop out altogether. The latter part of the book contains children's literature only. The authors believe that this literature is of so excel lent a quality that it will intensify the interest of chil dren in the reading book, and hence in learning to read, and will also implant the seeds of good literary taste. Carefully organized lists of words for phonic drill are given on pages 135 - 137. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
The Art of the Reprint is a vivid and engaging history of the nineteenth-century novel as it was re-imagined for everyday readers by four extraordinary twentieth-century illustrators. It focuses especially on four reprints: a 1929 edition of Thomas Hardy's The Return of the Native (1878) with engravings by Clare Leighton, a 1930 edition of Herman Melville's Moby Dick (1851) with images by Rockwell Kent, a 1943 edition of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre (1847) with woodblocks by Fritz Eichenberg, and a complete set of Jane Austen's novels (1786-1817) illustrated from 1957 to 1974 by Joan Hassall. Taken together, these reprints are indicative of a legacy crafted from historical distance, through personal, political, and artistic circumstance, and for a new century. With biographical, archival, and art- and literary-historical sources as well as close readings of images and texts, this is a richly illustrated account of how artists reinvent canons for the general reader.
