Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Jones Third Reader
The chief value of a school reader lies in the quality of the reading matter which it gives to the pupils. The literature supplied in such books should be sane, pure, wholesome, and stimulating. It should present models of thought, examples of simple but heroic living, and in every way prepare the children to strive after what is worthy, rather than to drift in the direction in which a chance current of life may lead them.
