Each book will contain a story for every week in the year, particularly suited to the tastes of young boys and girls. The stories are by the best writers and cover a wide range of subjects. D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, NEW YORK. APPLETONS’ SUPPLEMENTARY READERS. Uncle Robert’s Geography. By the late FRANCIS W. PARKER and NELLIE L. HELM. A Series of Geographical Readers for Supplementary Use. Four volumes. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth. 1. Playtime and Seedtime 32 cents. 2. On the Farm 42 ” 3. Uncle Robert’s Visit 50 ” 4. A River Journey 60 ” Uncle Robert teaches children how to read aright the great book of Nature. He makes study a pleasure. He teaches geography in the right way. He makes rural life and occupations attractive. He has a deep and loving sympathy with child-life. He believes in the education that strengthens the body as well as the mind. He tells children instructive stories to arouse their imaginations and stimulate their observing powers. He believes that every normal child may be made useful in the world. He has a boundless faith in human progress, and finds his greatest hopes in childhood and its possibilities. =These extraordinarily suggestive little books by the late Colonel Parker--one of the most far-sighted students of child-life of our day--have approved themselves to thousands of primary teachers. They form one of the few successful attempts to incorporate that which is close by nature to child perception into the very warp and woof of the child mind. They give an intelligible meaning and vitality to the round of experiences that come to all normal children in our land.= D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, NEW YORK.
