Excerpt from Standard First Reader

A teachers' manual for this First Reader is published separately. This Manual is for the teachers use not for the pupils'. It contains carefully prepared Notes on each lesson, which, it is believed, will prove well-nigh indispensable to the teacher. These Notes suggest -ways for teaching each lesson; for making it interesting and instructive; for fastening in the minds of the pupils its truths by suggestive stories, fables, and readings - At is to be regretted that with many teachers the art of story - telling is almost a lost art - for training the organs of speech to clear enunciation and pronunciation; for enlarging the pupils' vocabulary: for teaching them to become close observers, and to think and to' originate; for training the eye and ear; for growing character. The Teachers' Manual is a small volume, and is of such shape that it can be carried easily to and from school in the pocket or satchel.

The importance OF primary readers. - The teacher of the First Reader especially should studiously prepare for her daily task, for, than hers, there is no teaching more important from the kindergarten to the graduation class in the university.

It is scarcely an exaggeration to say that more power for good or evil rests between the covers of the First and Second Readers than in all the other books combined that are taught in our schools.
