GREETING.

To Teachers of Little Children:

This little book is an outcome of schoolroom experience, and its excuse for being" arises from an earnest desire to lend a hand to fellow-workers in a common cause. No sleight-of-hand or trick of the trade can serve as a patent and all-sufficient device in teaching reading. Hard work and ready wit, together with knowledge of child-life and love of teaching, these must make the success. But a study of the experience of others may throw some light on the path of the young learner,— a path difficult enough at best in the early days. These hints and suggestions will fulfil their mission if they serve, even in slight degree, to answer the questions and solve the problems of the young teacher, whose privilege it is to lead her children into the Promised Land of Books. These pages are written in such hope, and go forth with cordial greeting to all whom they can serve.

SARAH LOUISE ARNOLD.
