Excerpt from Finding a Home "Finding a Home" is taken from Kate Douglas Wiggin's book entitled "Timothy's Quest." The publishers have no hesitation in presenting this delightful little narrative to pupils and teachers, for any child who is allowed to use this story in school will have a pleasant memory of the reading periods devoted to it, and will never forget the sturdy, uncomplaining Timothy, the lively little Gay, and the faithful Rags. Books containing dialect are no longer unfavorably regarded by public school authorities. One mark of a good story is that it is true to the situations involved, and it would be wrong to deprive the child of that great body of literature containing characterizations of people whose dialect adds flavor and life to the story. As an aid to the teaching of English, the occasional use of dialect will reveal to the pupil provincialisms and solecisms in his own speech, which being thus pointed out are readily corrected. It is believed that this story may be read with interest and profit in all grades of the elementary school above the fourth. High school students also will read it with zest and appreciation.
