The American Normal Readers Vol 4 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The American Normal Readers, Vol. 4 Now this little book has been invited by your teacher to come in and to tell you many things which she thinks you will be glad to know. I hope very much that it will please you and will prove to be a true friend. You will find here stories of many kinds: tales of adven ture and of fairyland, true stories about countries far away and about the people in those foreign lands, about places in your own country which, perhaps, you have never seen, about boys and girls like you, and about famous men and women, who have lived noble lives for God and for their fellow -men and whose memory will always be loved and honored because Of the good which they have done. You will find, too, many beautiful poems, which are like the songs the stranger would sing for you. These poems will not be hard to understand. You' can readily catch the swing of the rhythm, and you will enjoy them as you enjoy music. I hope you will like all the stories in your book not only for the stories themselves, but also for the meaning in them, - for the thoughts they will bring to your mind.
