The Fifth Book of Reading Lessons: Authorized by the Council of Public Instruction for Ontario (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fifth Book of Reading Lessons: Authorized by the Council of Public Instruction for Ontario
The chief Object regarded in the preparation of this volume, the Fifih Book of the Series, has been to supply the pupils of the Public Schools with such specimens of the best English authors as are examples of correct style and pure taste, and are suit able for use as Exercises in Reading or Elocution. At the same time, in the selection of the extracts, attention was given both to the extent and character of the information that they supplied, and to the influence which they might exert on the young scholar in engaging his interest, stimulating his desire for knowledge, and forming his character. The subjects em braced in the volume comprehend not merely Literature, Art and Industry, but also the Sciences; not that it is intended to teach any of them by a summary, but that such readings seemed essential to the completeness of the book with a view to the purposes for which it is designed. A classified arrangement of the pieces has not been adopted, as it appeared more de sirable to have, at least generally, a variety of subjects in con secutive extracts. An Index, however, is subjoined, by means of which the book may be systematically read according to departments or branches of knowledge.
