The True Education Readers

SAMPLE pages of the completed numbers of the “Education Readers” may be secured of the Pacific Press, Mountain View, Cal.

Of this series of “Education Readers,” W. D. Curtis, educational secretary of the Lake Union Conference, says:— “I have examined Nos. 1 and 2 of the ‘True Education Reader Series,’ and am pleased with the mechanical make-up. They are of a convenient size, and seem to be well bound,—two very important points in text-books for primary grades. The paper is good, the type large and clear, and the illustrations attractive. The development, which means so much to the teacher, is worthy of more than passing notice. The phonic, word, and sentence methods are the most natural, and hence the most readily grasped by the pupil. His ear is trained by the phonics, and his eye by the word and sentence methods. The plan of correlating language, geography, spelling, writing, physiology, Bible nature, and to a certain extent, number work, is one that will be hailed with delight by the overburdened teacher, as at least a practical emancipation from an overcrowded daily program, while the patrons will accept it as an economical feature of the series. Another praiseworthy feature of the series is the selection of subject-matter, drawn from the true and beautiful in nature and the Bible. This is so far removed from the general plan of school readers now used, which are filled with fairy tales and fiction, that the ‘True Education Reader Series’ occupies a unique position in the field. There is no doubt but that they will come into general use in the schools in the Lake Union Conference.”

No. 1 contains 204 pages, at 75 cents, post-paid; No. 2 contains 256 pages, at 75 cents, post-paid; No. 3 contains 304 pages, at 90 cents, post-paid.
