BELL'S LANGUAGE SERIES.

Complete Course in LANGUAGE, GRAMMAR, and ENGLISH LITERATURE in Five Books.
In this series of English text-books, the five volumes composing the set form an unbroken chain of study, beginning with the study of our language in its rudimentary state and concluding with a comprehensive study of English and American literature. The work has many individual features to commend it to all engaged in teaching English, either in school or home. From the first the examples used in each lesson are such as tend to awaken in the mind of the student a love for the purest in language and thought.

Primary Language Lessons.

BOOK ONE.

These first studies in language are designed to introduce the young pupil into the higher work of grammar. They seek to awaken thought by means of the object-lessons of nature which they see on every hand, thus forming a firm groundwork for later study in form of expression of ideas.
272 pages. Cloth, 65 cents.

Elementary Grammar.

BOOK TWO.

Once thought is awakened in the mind of the student, the important feature of his education becomes the learning of best methods of expression and formation of sentences. The “Elementary Grammar” takes up this work in its earliest stage, and by means of simple selections and sentences the primary principles of grammar are indelibly impressed upon the mind.
224 pages. Cloth, 65 cents.

Complete Grammar.

BOOK THREE.

In this number is contained the subject of grammar in its completeness. Its principles and laws are so interwoven with examples selected from the highest and noblest in literature, that a refined taste is cultivated, and beauty in thought and elegance in expression become objects for study rather than mere correct grammatical expression.
281 pages. Cloth, 80 cents.

Rhetoric and Higher English.

BOOK FOUR.

In the field of text-books on this subject, this number of the English series occupies an individual position, its comprehensiveness and the copiousness and beauty of literary illustrations used making it pre-eminent in these respects. A valuable feature is Part Six,—“Making Ready for the Press,”—which contains valuable instruction for readers of proof and writers for the press.
375 pages. Cloth, $1.25.

STUDIES IN ENGLISH AND AMERICAN LITERATURE.

BOOK FIVE.

“I have made a somewhat careful examination of Bell’s ‘English and American Literature.’ It is emphatically a study of literature instead of literary men. The plan is good, and the work, I am sure, will be an inspiration to students of literature, and will foster in them a taste for literature of intrinsic worth.”—Prof. Alfred Pearson, Chair of English Literature, Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minn.
600 pages. Cloth, $1.75.

Easy Steps in the Bible Story.

By Adelaide Bee Cooper.
THE minds of children turn as naturally to the stories of the Bible as a lily to the sun. They never tire of hearing of the wonders of Creation Week, of the incidents of the Flood, and the building of the Tower of Babel, and of the lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And Joseph—what mother does not hear again and again from childish lips, the request, “Tell me ’bout Joseph?” At the age of the child when the mind is expanding and is most susceptible to impressions received through hearing over and over again these stories of patriarchal life, the teacher will find in “Easy Steps” valuable assistance in inculcating a love for the teachings of the Bible.
Bound in cloth, 50 cents; paper, 25 cents.

The Bible Reader

By Prof. E. A. Sutherland.
This primer and first reader contains sixty-two carefully prepared lessons on word study, spelling, and sentence building. The nature of the illustrative sentences is such as to turn the attention of the child to Bible events and teachings. The book contains numerous drawings of objects and scenes taken from nature, strengthening the natural love for the beauties of God’s creation.
“The Bible Reader” also contains exercises in the Roman script and number work. Specially prepared for home and church-school work.
160 pages; 35 cents.

BEST STORIES FROM THE BEST BOOK.

By James Edson White.
THIS work for the children contains thirty-five selected readings from the most important and most precious Bible lessons. Written in a simple and entertaining style, they at once serve to educate the child in the great principles taught, and to impart instruction in reading and spelling. A feature which cannot fail to be of vast service to the teacher, whether in the school room or at the fireside, is the “Introductory Department of Easy Lessons for Children,” by Ella King Sanders, consisting of exercises in reading, spelling, and penmanship, illustrated with the use of colored drawings of selected objects of nature.
200 pages.

The Mental Arithmetic.

By Prof. E. A. Sutherland.
This volume has succeeded in meeting the long-felt want of a reformation in the preparation of text-books on mathematics for the young. In these books, objects for illustrations and examples of rules and principles have been chosen which tend to exercise an unhealthy influence upon the mind. These undesirable features have been eliminated in this work, and only educating and uplifting elements have entered into its lessons.
240 pages. 87 lessons. Price - 65 cents.

Living Fountains

or

Broken Cisterns

An Educational Problem for Protestants.
By Prof. E. A. Sutherland.
This work is pre-eminently a history of education. From the source of all true education, the first great school in which the Creator himself was the Teacher, down through succeeding ages of this earth’s history to the present time the story of education is told. The perversions of true methods by Satan and their influences on the rise and fall of nations are taken to show that the only hope of liberty, Protestantism, and Republicanism lies in upholding the standard of education established by Jehovah among his chosen people. The work is replete with authoritative quotations from history.
428 pages. Bound in cloth - $1.25

THE GOSPEL PRIMER.

AS indicated by the title, this primer is one which, in teaching the alphabet and the very beginning of word learning, instills into the mind of the little ones the wonderful story of God’s love and care. The lessons, in a simple way, take up the gospel story, and when the last chapter, “A Little Child Shall Lead Them,” has been studied, the child has been made acquainted in simple language, with the great plan of redemption.
128 pages: 33 full-page illustrations.
English cloth, embossed cover, lemon edges, ........ $0 50

The Gospel Reader.

A Companion volume to “The Gospel Primer.”
IN this reader the beautiful theme of redemption and of the gospel is told in a connected and unbroken story, many of the great events of Bible History, being given in chronological order. From creation to consummation, the history of God’s people, and the hope set before them, become familiar subjects of thought and study.
The book contains thirty-five chapters, twenty-two half-tone engravings, and 192 pages.
