PREFACE. THE subject matter of this volume is intended to provide all the information which is required for the FIRST and SECOND STANDARDS of the Code. Great care has been taken to convey the information to the pupil in very simple language. It is believed that, while the first part will be welcomed as an EXTRA READING BOOK for Standard I., the whole will form a suitable READER for Standard II. The style adopted is chiefly conversational, and is well fitted to excite the interest of young children, while it encourages expressive and intelligent reading. |
