Excerpt from The Fifth Reader: For the Use of Schools
IT was the aim of the authors in the first four books of this Series to make the Lessons as easy as was consistent with proper gradation.
Knowing the bad effects that invariably follow when scholars are required to read what is beyond their capacity, they were Willing to err on what they considered to be the safe side.
But believing that those who have been carefully instructed in the preo cedi/ng books of this Series, or other books of the same grade, will be well prepared to enter on a general course of Reading Lessons, they have made their selections for the Fifth Reader from a very extensive range of Standard English Literature. While the most of the Lessons are, as far as regards the subject matter, level to the capacity of the grade of scholars for whom they are intended, some pieces have been admitted which they cannot be expected to appreciate fuliy till their minds are more matured. It is hoped, however, that nothing has been' selected which a diligent teacher: cannot make interesting and instructive to an attentive scholar.
