This book is designed for the lowest grades in which a textbook of English is used. As a supplement to the regular work in Part One. For classes entering either in September or in February."The twofold aspect of language teaching in the lower grades is recognized in the book by furnishing situations that will stimulate children to use their mother tongue in a free and natural manner, and by providing such drill in correct usage as will lay the foundations for good language habits. The quality and variety of the material presented is unusual. It includes real and fanciful explanations of natural phenomena, historical stories, legends and myths, dramatizations, narrative poems, and descriptive and lyrical verses - all adapted to the interests of young children. The method of presentation is informal and natural. The socialized recitation is emphasized in a variety of forms. Adequate and appropriate drill is provided in correct usage of pronouns and verbs, pronunciation, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation." -- PREFACE, 1921
