WINSLOW'S GEOGRAPHY READERS

By I. O. WINSLOW

Superintendent of Schools, Providence, R. I.

THIS series occupies a unique position in that it combines the advantages of the customary text-book with those of the so-called geographical reader. It is thoroughly modern in placing chief emphasis on industrial and commercial aspects, yet ample treatment is given to political geography, which is taught in its relation to economic phases.

LESSONS IN THE SPEAKING AND

WRITING OF ENGLISH

By JOHN M. MANLY

Head of the Department of English, University of Chicago

and ELIZA R. BAILEY

Teacher of Elementary English in Boston

HE entire work of both language lessons and grammar is based

THE

upon the freshest, richest, and most interesting selections of literature ever put into a series of books on English. The reading, dramatizing, and summarizing of the stories and poems of these books is a delight to the child, and in the midst of this pleasure he scarcely realizes that he is acquiring facility in speaking and writing good English and is learning something of the structure of formal grammar.

In Book II, intended for the upper grades, the sections are so arranged that the class may take up composition one year and grammar the next, or the subjects may be interwoven throughout the two years as intimately as the teacher may desire. The aim throughout has been to treat these subjects not as formal and theoretical, but as vital in the pupil's growing experience, and in his training in the art of thinking clearly and of speaking and writing with ease and effectiveness. Everywhere emphasis is laid on function and not on form.

The aim to make the book practical is reinforced by constant attention to letters and useful business forms. Practice, for example, is afforded in the use of the dictionary; in the making of indexes and catalogues; in the preparation of business letters, orders and checks, bills and receipts, telegrams, lettergrams, letters to newspapers, newspaper reports, reports of committees, letters of introduction, minutes of a meeting, and other similar practical forms.

BOOK I-314 pages. 30 illustrations. 45 cents
BOOK II -369 pages.
