Excerpt from First Book in English Women are more successful than men' in teaching young children. A language book for children should have the deli cacy of touch, the keen appreciation of children's likes and dislikes, the intuitive sense of what a child can and can not do, which only a woman possesses. That these qualities per meate this little book, is due to the assistance I have received from Miss Emma L. Johnston, Instructor in English in the Brooklyn Training School for Teachers.
