 INTRODUCTORY NOTE. 
 
 This list has been prepared in response to requests from parents 
 for help in the selection of books for their children. : 'V ' 
 
 The italic letters before the titles show the ages for which the 
 books are suited: a means under 8 years; 6, 8 to 14; c, over 14. 
 
 The classification of books according to the age of the child is an 
 arbitrary method at best, since children differ so greatly in their 
 ability to grasp literature. Many books will, therefore, be found in 
 one list -khich some parents will feel could be read only by older 
 children. But in many homes, fortunately, the custom of reading 
 aloud to children has been observed from earliest childhood. Where 
 this is so, and the child develops a love of books, it is surprising to 
 note the readiness with which he will grasp the best literature. 
 
 A child had always better have a book which is above his com- 
 prehension than one which is too young for him, and gives his reason, 
 imagination, or sympathy no exercise. 
 
 Though some "popular" literature finds its place on this list, the 
 committee hopes that parents will select for their children's reading, 
 as far as possible, such books as are of some permanent value, and 
 are as interesting to the adults as to the child. 
 
 Teachers and parents who have access to public libraries should 
 call upon librarians for further help when it is needed. Many ex- 
 cellent lists are prepared by the different libraries and are obtain- 
 able at little or no cost. 
 
 So many books in series are issued at the present time that great 
 care should be exercised in selecting for purchase. As a rule, it is

 not safe to buy whole sets of books, as different volumes vary greatly 
 in merit. 
 
 Inexpensive reprints of standard books are published in many 
 forms. One of the most useful of the cheap editions is Everyman's 
 library, Dutton, cloth, 35 cents; leather, 70 cents. This includes a 
 large number of books desirable for young people to read and is 
 recommended to those who are forming a library of their own. 
 
 The Riverside literature series, Iloughton Mifflin co., is made up 
 of poems, stories, and essays from the world's best literature, ancient 
 and modern, over 200 volumes in all. Paper, 15 cents each; linen, 
 25 cents. 
 
 The Heart of oak series contains tales of adventures, heroic stories, 
 poems, classics from many languages chosen particularly with the 
 aim of forming a taste for good literature. It was edited by Charles 
 Eliot Norton, and published in seven volumes, graded according to 
 ft g e > by D. C. Heath & co. Per volume: Vol. 1, 25 cents; vol. 2, 
 35 cents; vol. 3, 40 cents; vol. 4, 45 cents; vol. 5, 50 cents; vol. 6, 
 55 cents; vol. 7, 60 cents. 
 
 Other series are noted in different parts of this list. 
 
 As guides to the best reading for young and old the following 
 books are recommended: The choice of books, Frederick Harrison, 
 75 cents; The book lover, James Baldwin, 90 cents; Books and 
 culture, Hamilton W. Mabie, 90 cents. Also aids in the selection 
 of children's books : The children's reading, Frances J. Olcott, Hough-

 W. Arnold, McClurg, $1.

 I. PICTURE BOOKS AND STORIES FOR THE YOUNGEST READERS. 
 
 For very young children there is no better way than to tell -over 
 and over again the best fairy stories and myths, Old Testament 
 stories, and simple hero tales. 
 
 Books adapted to the comprehension of young children are few 
 and have usually no style to recommend them. Many of the books 
 in other divisions of this list may be read to quite young children, 
 but a few stories are placed here which a child can read almost as 
 soon as he can read at all.

 10. POETRY. 
 
 This list does not aim to do more than suggest a little of the good 
 poetry which should be read by children of this age or read to them. 
 Boys will be found especially fond of heroic poetry. "The revenge," 
 by Tennyson, is almost faultless as a hero poem ; Scott and Macauley 
 are always loved. Children have very little comprehension yet of 
 love or any of the more complex emotions. It is therefore only 
 the earlier and simpler of the Arthurian legends which are adapted 
 to their reading. It is well not to let feats of arms be the sole sub- 
 ject of heroic poetry. "The legend beautiful" and "The vision of 
 Sir Launfal" are hero poems as well as "The charge of the light 
 brigade." 
 
 In choosing poetry for memorizing the following pamphlet is 
 helpful: A selected list of poems suitable to be learned by children. 
 Selected by a committee of the Washington branch of the Associa- 
 tion of collegiate alumnae. Press of W. F. Roberts, Washington, 
 D. C. 25 cents. 
 
 Many of the general collections also will be found to contain poems 
 within the comprehension of even young children. It is better to 
 give them some great poetry which will be enjoyed for the rhythm and 
 sound than to confine them to poems written for children. 
 
 The value of poetry in a child's life has been thus expressed: 
 
 " Rhythmic motion, or the flow of measured and beautiful sounds, 
 harmonizes their differences, tunes them up to their tasks, disciplines 
 their conduct, comforts their hurts, quiets their nerves; all this apart 
 from the facts more or less important from the point of view of liter- 
 ature, that it cultivates their ear, improves their taste, and provides 
 them a genuinely artistic pleasure." (McCLiNTOCK : Literature in 
 the elementary school.)
