APPLETON’S HOME-READING BOOKS.
Edited by W. T. HARRIS, A. M., LL. D., U. S. Commissioner of Education.
The purpose of the Home-Reading Books is to provide wholesome, instructive, and entertaining reading for young people during the early educative period, and more especially through such means to bring the home and the school into closer relations and into more thorough cooperation. They furnish a great variety of recreative reading for the home, stimulating a desire in the young pupil for further knowledge and research, and cultivating a taste for good literature that will be of permanent benefit to him.
