Item description from seller

Sara Louise Arnold, superintendent of schools in Minneapolis and Boston, was also a prolific author of school textbooks, especially for the elementary grades. Her "Stepping Stones to Literature" and "See and Say" series were nationally used textbook series during the early 20th century. "With Pencil and Pen" is a stand-alone text for primary students ".with lessons" as the preface notes, "sent forth with the hope that they may help the children who are learning in our primary schools to put their thoughts into writing." This copy of the NYS edition, a first edition thus, is an early printing but probably not the first. About 5 1/2 x 7 3/8 inches, 151 pages of text, including numerous illustrations, followed by 4 pages of Ginn & Co. ads. Bound in brown cloth-covered boards with a pictorial front cover showing a young girl at her desk working on a drawing. Black lettering on front and spine. Boards show some soiling, a few small stains and lightly bumped corners. Text edges show soiling and on a few pages answers to questions have been penciled in. Previous owner's name in pencil on the fep. Not a perfect copy but still in collectable condition and, after over a hundred years, very scarce in any edition today.…
