The Aldine Speller: Part One, for Grades One and Two
by Catherine T. BryceThe teaching of spelling must be done from a spelling book in the hands of the children, since the individual teacher does not have the time to prepare lists of words which will produce as good results as the lists given in a spelling book, the selection and preparation of which are the result of years of special observation and testing. .A plan of..
The Pagan's Progress
by Gouverneur MorrisThose to whom he had been charitable brought the body of the great hunter to his cave, and laid it within. But first they carried out the clubs and the nets and the fish spears and the war spears, and all that was of use, to be divided among them, for the great hunter would not need such things any more.Dissolution—decay—dust—nothing. It was thus t..
Art of Love-Making
by AnonymousMany young people, particularly of the male kind, imagine themselves in love when in truth they are not. Their supposed passion is but a fancy of the moment.

To-day, however, thanks to the observations of our great scientists on the life and..

Mountain Craft
by Geoffrey Winthrop YoungThis book is for mountaineers; and a mountaineer is not only one who climbs mountains, but anyone who likes to walk, read, or think about them. I do not myself attach much value to mountaineering handbooks: an open-air pursuit can only be learned by practical attempt and from good example. I used to read them for the fun of surprising some hero of ..
