Select Readings for Recitation
By Editor
"Select Readings for Recitation," from Hinds, Noble, and Eldredge, New York City. These are No. 2 of Volume 4 and No. 3 of Volume 5 of "The Speaker," edited by Paul M. Pearson. These are known as No. 14 and No. 19 in a series of reading and speaking volumes. They are paper covered. No. 14 contains more than 100 selections, some of which are very excellent indeed, some of them old, old poems, or selections, learned in boyhood days, some worth the price of the volume. Among these are Holland's "God Give Us Men," "Be Strong," "Abou Ben Adhem," "My Mother," others too numerous to mention. And what is true of No. 14 is also of No. 19. No. 14 is largely moral and religious. No. 19 has more than 100 selections on the temperance question, an excellent thing for teachers and those who have to do with temperance programs. We commend them as volumes of excellent selections. Price each, 40 cents.
