Excerpt from Standard Classic Reader: For Sixth Grade The Standard Classic Reader, Book Two, is the second of a series of four Classic Readers carefully compiled, edited and annotated, for use in the Grammar or upper grades of the Common Schools. Like its predecessor, Book One, it is arranged in parts, grouping the selections under the heads of Literature, Dramatic Readings and Memory Gems. The selections of Book Two are especially adapted for Sixth Year pupils. They provide appropriate classical selections from among a wide range of titles and give to the pupils a pleasant acquaintance with our best American and English writers. The selections chosen are accompanied by succinct yet complete biographical sketches of the authors, and notes upon each classic, which are discriminating and helpful, but not technical. Books Three and Four will present classics of an advanced type and will fully justify their issue by meeting satisfactorily the need for classics.
