pupils is distinguished by its extra
ordinarily picturesque style. Each
of the eleven chapters is preceded by
4 colored picture, illustrating some
dramatic incident in the text to
which the pupil is constantly looking
forward. Each chapter is made up
of three parts: an account for the
pupil to read, summary to study,
and a few leading facts to remember.
The reading portion is as interesting
as any story TO the child. whose at
tention is held by accounts of the.life.
customs legends. and industries of
the Indians and of the early settlers.
Throughout the appeal is made to
the fondness of the child for adven-
ture, heroic deeds, and dramatic
events. Apt quotations from standard
poems are given. and will encourage
broader reading of literature. Be
sides the color pictures. there are in
the book many other illustrations and
also numerous maps.
