Excerpt from Our Country's Readers, Vol. 5
The Readers of this series have at least one important distinction: they are composed almost entirely of selections from our own authors. Of the thirty-four pieces in this reader, thirty-two are from American writers. One selec tion is from The Pilgrim's Progress and one is from the Bible.
The proportion of foreign and of native literature in American readers has been usually just the reverse of this, giving the great part to foreign writers and a small part to our own writers. And the native selections included have most often been those on which the copyright had expired or that had never been copyrighted.
Quite a different plan has been followed here. The first design has been to present our own authors. The ground of choice has been solely one of fitness. Each selection from our native authors has been made on the ground of its representative nature, or of its special application to phases of our own home life. The result is the embodiment of an expensive collection of copyrighted material; but we be lieve the character of this material justifies the expense and labor incurred.
In view of the fact that the selections are from Americanauthors, about American subjects, for American youths, it seemed appropriate to call the series Our Country's Readers.
The selections presented are from the latest authorized readings, and correspond to the author's approved editions.
The grading has been made with the utmost care, both from principle and theory and from actual tests with pupils.
