HALIBURTON THE author of this series knows children and their interests; schools and their possibilities; pedagogy and its lessons; nature, literature and art, and their resources in education. The series has individuality. Beginning with live phonics and vivid drama, it includes fairy and folk lore, games, stories of school activities, of primitive life, of nature, of child life in other lands, dramatizations, and a wealth of standard literature that appeals to the growing child. Bertha M. Bentley, Primary Supervisor, Speyer School, Teachers College, Columbia University: I have examined the Haliburton Readers quite thoroughly and find them very satisfactory. For readers built upon a phonic scheme they are far ahead of most readers of that sort. The material is literary in character and interesting to children. Ann Beers, Supervising Principal, Jefferson School, Washington, D. C.: The Haliburton Readers are striking in many ways: in binding, in type, in paper, in illustration, in arrangement, in subject matter, in suggestion, in vocabulary, and in many other delightful matters. One can say most emphatically that these books make an inestimably valuable acquisition to the reading matter of a school system. I can also report the very earnest approval of the books by the teachers of some of my best schools. THE HEATH READERS A new series, that excels in its I. Interesting and well graded lessons. 2. Masterpieces of English and American literature. 3. 4. Beautiful and appropriate illustrations. Clear and legible printing. 5. Durable and handsome binding. 6. Adaptation to the needs of modern schools. THE HEATH READERS enable teachers, whether they have much or little knowledge of the art, to teach children to read intelligently and to read aloud intelligibly. They do this without waste of time or effort, and at the same time that the books aid pupils in acquiring skill in reading, they present material which is in itself worth reading. The purpose of the HEATH READERS is, first, to enable beginners to master the mechanical difficulties of reading successfully and in the shortest time; second, to develop the imagination and cultivate a taste for the best literature; third, to appeal to those motives that lead to right conduct, industry, courage, patriotism, and loyalty to duty. The larger purpose is, briefly, to aid in developing an appreciation of that which is of most worth in life and literature. Descriptive circulars sent free on request. D. C.
