Excerpt from First Steps in English Much use has been made of, simple yet exact teachings about flowers and birds and the little animals, because I believe with the author of The Making of Matthias: The skies and the flowers, the winds and the stars - they are of God and they carry God's message. That is life - to love all that God has made. Love every flower, and every tree, and the birds and beasts; hurt nothing, and respect everything, for love is God.

Excerpt from First Steps With American and British Authors Ten years have passed since this book was published. The author has taken advantage of the demand for a new edition to revise the book thoroughly, by bringing it up to date, making many additions to the various texts, and otherwise adding to its usefulness. A systematic study of the texts of standard English authors is now very generally held to constitute an important part of the regular course in most schools of a higher grade. Pupils should have a thorough drill on simple selections before undertaking the more formal study of any representative author. In brief, students should be provided with a judicious and methodical introduction to the standard English texts. This book aims to supply such a want. It is intended to serve as the basis of a regular course of study in English literature. Enough material is furnished for at least one year's work, except perhaps the purchase of an occasional copy of an inexpensive school text.

Excerpt from A First Book in English The present volume is based upon the belief that gram mar, composition, and literature are not three separate and distinct subjects, but merely three inter-related divisions Of the same subject - English. If this be so, they should not be studied separately but together; only in this way can their true relation be brought out. Teachers of the classics and the romance languages, as well as teachers Of English, are unanimous in their Opinion that the greatest hindrance to the effective teaching Of language at the present time is the student's ignorance Of English grammar. We have, therefore, placed the section on grammar first instead of last, and have sought to make it fill a place between the brief review Of grammar that is occasionally appended to books on composition and the more complete treatises on the subject. As a further aid to the study Of grammar in other languages and in keeping with the recommendation Of the National Education AS Sociation, Universal Nomenclature has been used.

Excerpt from A Primer of English Literature This book aims at being what its title indicates -a primer, a first book. It strives to tell simply and clearly a few things, and to bring prominently before the reader only the greatest literary names. The author has found that young readers get very little from a book which presupposes wide knowledge on their part, or which deals with elabo rate literary criticism. Much reading is done in the schools, however, and it is necessary to give pupils some chronological idea of the growth of literature and the place of authors. It is the pur pose of this book to supply that chronology in form somewhat fuller than an outline, and yet less bulky than the regular histories. While it gives no new point of view or illuminating criticisms, it hopes to meet the need of all classes of students who wish to acquire in a straightforward way the gen erally accepted facts of English literary history.
