without any drops falling, are, in such a company as there is steam and heat, things of great pleasure and refreshment. Double masques, one of men, another of ladies, addeth state and variety. But all is nothing except the room be kept clear and neat. For jousts, and tourneys, and barriers; the glories of them are chiefly in the chariots, wherein the challeng ers make their entry; especially if they be drawn with strange beasts: as lions, bears, camels, and the like; or in the devices of their entrance; or in the bravery of their liveries; or in the goodly furniture of their horses and armor. But enough of these toys. THE RIVERSIDE READERS EDITED BY JAMES H. VAN SICKLE AND WILHELMINA SEEGMILLER Late Director of Art, Indianapolis.

By EMMA MILLER BOLENIUS Fourth Reader Sixth Reader Fifth Reader Teachers' Manual A series of basal readers for the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Grades - the crucial years in gaining skill in silent reading, and fluency in oral reading. ◄ Miss Bolenius, widely recognized as an expert, has been guided by her study of the most authoritative and up-to-date reports, investigations, courses of study, and surveys. In the three Readers there is full study equipment with each article, story, or poem. Into this equipment, the editor has succeeded in bringing her own personal touch. She makes reading a delight for both pupil and teacher. Four major objects of the Bolenius Readers are: (1) To direct silent reading, (2) To motivate oral reading, (3) To develop the reading habit in children, and (4) To broaden the child's outlook on life. Practical everyday reading of various kinds is stressed. The illustrations are full of teaching value and appeal. Typographical aids make reading easier for the child. How to study is given special attention, and supervised study has been developed in an entirely new way. In the Teachers' Manual there is help so concrete that even inexperienced teachers will secure results. It presents a practical methodology for silent reading.
