The New Readers

By Frederick Griggs

VOLUME 1 and volume 2 of the New Readers, concerning which something has been said two or three times previously in the REVIEW, are now ready for distribution. The price of these books, as we understand it, is seventy-five cents a copy. They may be obtained from the tract societies or from the Pacific Press. The price may seem a little high, but the publishers have been to a large expense in getting this book out, and they are selling it at a price less than that which they set on many of their other books. We trust that our people will not let the matter of the expense stand in the way of the use of the book.

The problem of getting out text-books for our schools is a serious one, and it will undoubtedly be true that our own text-books will cost as much as, and, in some instances more than, the same books of a corresponding grade that can be gotten out in very large numbers by large publishing houses. Our publishers are certainly manifesting a loyalty to our educational work in the bringing out of these books at so great a risk of loss, and we trust that our people will respond heartily to their efforts by uniformly using our own books.

From the examination we have been able to give to the readers, we feel no hesitation in most highly commending them. We believe that the series, when it is fully published, will be not only thoroughly pedagogical, but will be most highly valuable in the way of truth teaching. FREDERICK GRIGGS.
