Excerpt from How to Teach Reading the Public Schools This book is intended primarily as a manual for teachers of reading in the public schools. In the preparation of the work the author has borne in mind the chief needs of the teacher: First, that he should thoroughly understand how thought and feeling are expressed; and, second, that he should have a definite graded method of instruction, in which the simple precedes the complex, and in which one element, and one only, is presented at a time.
