Excerpt from Rebekah: A Tale of Three Cities SO at last my curiosity is satisfied. Is it not strange that I have not met him before, since he calls to see my uncle so often?

Excerpt from City and Town: A Third Reader Third grade readers may be divided into two gen eral classes. The first of these lays strong emphasis upon the imaginative element in literature, as the fairy story, folk tale, fable, and myth. The second corre lates closely with nature study. Other features that may be included in these readers are employed merely to relieve the monotony of an otherwise one idea book. It is true that children are interested in, and should become acquainted with, both of the above types of readers, but such readers, excellent to a limited extent, are not adequate. A well-balanced reading plan should provide material which appeals to the many sides of the child's experience and to the multiplicity of his interests and tastes.
