AN ELEMENTARY HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES
By ALLEN C. THOMAS, A. M.
_Author of "A History of the United States," and Professor of History in
Haverford College._
The Elementary History is for the use of younger classes, and serves as
an introduction to the author's larger History of the United States.
Effort has been made to present such important phases of national growth
as the difficulties and dangers of exploration, and how they were
overcome by earnestness and perseverance; the risks and hardships of
settlement, and how they were met and conquered; the independence and
patriotism of the colonists, and how they triumphed; the effect of
environment upon character; the development of the people in politics
and government and in social life; and the progress of invention and its
effect upon national development.
Realizing the fascination that the personalities of our national heroes
have for the young, the author has chosen those men who best illustrate
the important periods in the making of our nation, and in a series of
interesting biographical sketches uses their lives as centers around
which the history is written. Thus the book has all the freshness and
vitality, all the rapidity of action, and all the interest, of tales of
patriotism and courage and untiring endurance, and yet preserves
accuracy of fact and due proportion of importance of events.
_Cloth. 357 pages. Maps and illustrations. Introduction price, 60
cents._

THE HEATH READERS
A new series, that excels in its
1. Interesting and well graded lessons.
2. Masterpieces of English and American literature.
3. Beautiful and appropriate illustrations.
4. Clear and legible printing.
5. Durable and handsome binding.
6. Adaptation to the needs of modern schools.
THE HEATH READERS enable teachers, whether they have much or little
knowledge of the art, to teach children to read intelligently and to
read aloud intelligibly. They do this without waste of time or effort,
and at the same time that the books aid pupils in acquiring skill in
reading, they present material which is in itself worth reading.
The purpose of the HEATH READERS is, _first_, to enable beginners to
master the mechanical difficulties of reading successfully and in the
shortest time; _second_, to develop the imagination and cultivate a
taste for the best literature; _third_, to appeal to those motives that
lead to right conduct, industry, courage, patriotism, and loyalty to
duty. The larger purpose is, briefly, to aid in developing an
appreciation of that which is of most worth in life and literature.
The series contains seven books, as follows:
Primer, 128 pages, 25 cents.
First Reader, 130 pages, 25 cents.
Second Reader, 176 pages, 35 cents.
Third Reader, 256 pages, 40 cents.
Fourth Reader, 320 pages, 45 cents.
Fifth Reader, 352 pages, 50 cents.
Sixth Reader, 352 pages, 50 cents.
