Book Description

The aim of the author is twofold: First, to represent the best literature and best thought of the south, assigning it due place in our national life and literature. Second, to give, in a carefully graded basal series of readers, a definite, practical, progressive plan of study of literature, art, and nature. Vocabulary for each selection is adapted to the grade. Selections are varied, and treat or are drawn from popular literature (juvenile and adult), fables, myths and legends, history, poetry of all ages, and the Bible.
