Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

The cordial and wide acceptance of the authors General Readers has enc6iiraged the hope of equal favor for a graded series on subjects pertaining to the Natural World. General Readers and Nature Readers must, to a large extent, cover the ground of school reading. The former draws from any branch of literature, appeals to the many-sidedness of our children and youth, stimulates and elevates taste for reading, and gives scope for variety in oral expression. Nature Readers, while losing something in literary finish and variety of style, gain in singleness of aim and concentration of interest. They appeal to love of knowledge and induce a habit of study They come closer to the heart of things which are the sources of our physical and natural life. The old sajdng, so often quoted, The proper study of mankind is man, has taken on a wider interpretation since the study of man is understood to have creature-life for its early chapters. It is certainly true that a wealth of material for educational purposes lies around us in the natural world. Every age has counted an Esop, in some form, among its favorite teachers. Science is every year bringing truth concerning God and man that is stranger, fresher, and more acceptable than fiction. The avidity with which our children receive it, and the quickened healthful growth they manifest by reason of it, are a sufficient demonstration of its value.
