Excerpt from The Jones Second Reader Each book in a Series of Readers should begin with work easily understood by the children of the grade for which it is prepared, but should push rapidly beyond the present limits of the pupil's interests and capabilities, thus becoming an important factor in the developing life of the children who use it. The Second Reader makes a distinct advance from the First Reader of this series in the range and character of its vocabulary and in the difficulty of its subject-matter. The attention of pupils may now be held through a longer narrative, and a much fuller treatment may now be given to ethical problems, looking toward the formation of ideals of life and conduct. Good literature correctly interpreted teaches its own lessons. When the child has learned to love good literature, he absorbs the life-giving elements from it as naturally as he takes the health-giving portions from the air he breathes. The subject-matter of the Second Reader has been drawn from the various fields of thought and action which especially interest children. Care has been taken to have the ideas embodied in the subject-matter of sufficient variety to assist children to interpret nature and life as exemplified in their daily environment.
