Excerpt from Science Readers, Vol. 5Following on the lines of its predecessor, this, the Fifth Book of the series, aims at still further expanding and developing the truths and principles taught in the earlier books. Comprehensive as the whole scheme is, the young reader will scarcely experience a difficulty in grasping any one subject, because the way has been carefully prepared beforehand, step by step. He sees at once that the various developments are the natural outcome of what has gone before. Each lesson from the companion book, the teacher's manual, is here reproduced, in an easy, chatty style, from the child's own standpoint. It is felt that these readings, used as a supplementary aid to the oral lessons, cannot fail to rivet the teaching on the mind.This volume, like the rest, has been profusely illustrated, but every picture is meant to be a real teaching aid, both in respect to the lessons on animal and plant life, and in the experimental lessons.It should be observed that some of the subjects do not lend themselves to pictorial illustration so readily as others. It is on this account, and to prevent one section of the book from becoming less attractive to the child than another, that the subjects have been intermingled in these reading lessons. Any book with the bulk of its illustrations in one or two sections, would be a fatal mistake, so far as the child was concerned. The teacher, who uses these readers to supplement the oral lessons, will find each subject, and every part of each subject, in its natural order, although the readings are interspersed one with another. This remark applies equally to each book of the series.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
