The Continental First Fifth Reader Volume 4 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Continental First Reader The Universal Readers have been carefully prepared to meet the wants of Catholic children in Catholic schools. Short essays on important Catholic subjects have been specially written or selected for them, so that the religious might go hand in hand with the secular education of the child even in his reading lessons. Some of these lessons are from the pens of our noted Catholic authors. The series has been properly graded and adapted to the age and capacity of the child. The matter of the Fourth and Fifth Readers will be found acceptable and instructive even to adults. The publisher, encouraged by priests and sisters engaged in Christian education, has spared no expense to give to Catholic teachers and pupils the best art in illustration and the latest improvements in book-making. The editor has tried to avoid the materialistic character of the Readers of some of our secular schools, and in the selection of lessons, has endeavored to give models which would elevate and spiritualize the child, as well as cultivate his taste and improve his style. We now present these Readers to the Catholic public, hoping that it will approve our efforts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
