NEW NATIONAL FIRST READER
BY CHARLES J. BARNES HARLAN H. BALLARD S. PROCTOR THAYER
NEW YORK--CINCINNATI--CHICAGO AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY
1888, by A.S. BARNES & CO.
[Illustration: PREFACE]
The authors of this book believe,--
1st.--That the Word Method is the most natural and practicable, because words are representatives of objects, actions, etc., while letters, or sounds, in the abstract, convey no meaning to the pupil, and are devoid of interest.
2d.--That words of ordinary length are as easily learned as short ones, provided they are familiar to the pupil. No teacher will doubt the statement that a pupil will learn the word "mamma'" as easily as "says" or "eyes."
3d.--That frequent "Reviews" are essential to the rapid and thorough advancement of pupils. By this means the words imperfectly learned are again brought to their attention and thoroughly memorized. That these "Reviews" ought to take up the new words in a different order and arrangement, in order to test the ability of the pupil to recognize them in any situation. That as soon as the vocabulary is large enough they should be written in the form of a new exercise, as on pp. 36, 44, 52, 60, and 68 of this book. 4th.--That thorough and systematic drill in Spelling is absolutely necessary. That the "Reading Reviews" should be so constructed as to contain all the new words used in the lessons they were intended to review, and no others, so that they can be used for "Written or Dictation Spelling." That the pronunciation of the words in the "Spelling Reviews" should be indicated by the diacritical marks of Webster, so that they can be used for either "Oral Spelling" or "Phonic Drill."
5th.--That the "Script" from which the pupil gets his first and most lasting impressions should be of large size and accurate form, and not of the nondescript character usually found in books of this class. That it should be free from superfluous line and flourish, and yet have grace and beauty. That it should be adapted for both copying and reading.
6th.--That the lessons should be largely "conversational in style," to cultivate flexibility of voice and to break up the dreary monotone so frequently heard among children.
7th.--That the lessons of a book of this grade should not average more than seven "new words." That all such words should appear at the commencement of lessons, and be familiar to the pupil. That this method secures careful gradation, and is in marked contrast with the old custom of having from fifteen to twenty-five.
8th.--That "Outline Drawings" of the objects first presented to pupils should be made in the presence of the class, as it stimulates them to draw, and thus makes easy and profitable the copying of the "Script Exercises."
9th.--That the schoolbook of to-day must be beautifully and copiously illustrated. That there must be variety as well as excellence, both in drawing and engraving. That well-known and famous artists must be secured, such as Harper, Fredericks, Church, Lippincott, Eytinge, White, Beard, Weldon, Thulstrup, Cary, Moser, Weaver, and Share; and such engravers as Karst, Wigand, French, Held, Davis, Hellawell, etc.
10th.--That the exercises must be instructive as well as interesting, and that no artificial system of vowel classification ought to interfere with the free and natural use of words.
11th.--That a book of this kind should be suited to the wants of graded and ungraded schools, there evidently being nothing in the one not readily adaptable to the other.
12th.--That every book of this class should contain a collection of brief extracts from standard literature to be committed to memory.
13th.--That this book is constructed on the above principles.

1. I have a little kitty, Her fur is white as snow. In the barn she likes to play, Running to and fro.
2. In the barn a little mousie, A long time ago, Saw my little kitty coming, Running to and fro.
3. Two black eyes has little kitty, Eyes that always glow, And she spied the little mousie, Running to and fro.
4. Four soft paws has little kitty, Soft as silk, I know, And they caught the little mousie, Running to and fro.
[Script: Ann is a good girl.]
LESSON LIII.
Mamma', did you see the kitty catch the little mousie in the barn?
Yes, kitty spied the mousie running to and fro.
I saw her pretty black eyes glow, and soon she caught the mousie in her paws.
What a pretty kitty she is! Her fur is like silk.
But look, mamma'! There is the man coming with his bear. May I go out to see him?
Yes, Fred, but Frank must go with you.
How well the bear stands up on his hind legs!
Yes, and see how he holds the stick in his paws.
O see him dance! What funny things he does! Where did the man get him, Frank? Did you ask him?
Yes, and he said that one time, a long while ago, he and his dogs were out hunting, and saw the bear up in a tree.
The bear was small then, so he was not afraid of him.
He cut the tree down, and as soon as it fell, the dogs caught the bear.
Did they hurt him, Frank?
No, the man did not let them hurt him.
See, Frank, the man is coming here.
We like to see your bear play. We think he likes you.
O yes! he likes me, for I always take good care of him.

John and his cat Dick do not like rats. They catch all they can. One time, John set a trap to catch some, and then went away and hid with Dick.
Pretty soon a big rat came out of its hole and went to the trap.
Dick saw the rat, and made a start to get away from John. But John said, "Hold on, Dick, let us see if it will go into the trap."
But the rat did not go in, and as it was going to run away, John let Dick go, and said, "Catch it, Dick. Run quick, quick!" and they ran very fast to catch the rat.
But the rat was too quick for them. It went into its hole just as Dick was very near it.

Mary, where did you get your pretty redbirds?
Fred sent them to me.
Did he send the cage too?
No, mamma' gave me the cage.
What nice pets the birds will be! Are they tame, Mary?
Not yet, but I think they soon will be. They let me set food near them now.
When they are tame, you can let them out of the cage.
What a funny cap one of them has!
It looks like a cap, Mary, but it is not. It is a crest.
Many redbirds have no crest, and I am glad that one of your birds has one.
Will these birds sing well?
They sing very little. Redbirds are pretty, but they do not sing so well as some other birds.

Look, mamma'! See what a pretty fish! It is a little trout.
Where did you get it, John?
Frank caught it in the brook.
I went to dip a dish into the brook to get some water, and saw this little fish.
Then I said, "O Frank, look, look quick! See the little fish!"
Frank saw it, and ran to get his fish net. He put the net into the water, and caught the fish, and I put it into this dish.
"Well, what will you do with it?
I will keep it, mamma'.
But, my boy, it will not live in that dish. Put it back into the brook.
I wish I could keep it. It is so pretty! May I put it into the pond?
No, John. You must put it into the brook. A trout will not live in warm water.

John, where did you get your fox?
I caught him in a trap, when he was small.
Is he tame now?
O yes! and he is very fond of me. We romp, and play, and have a jolly time with each other.
What do you give him to eat?
I give him meat and bread.
Can a fox run fast, John?
Yes. My fox can run very fast. A little while ago, Frank was here with his dog Rover. The fox was afraid of Rover, and ran away.
When Rover saw the fox start, he ran after him. O how they did go! They ran and ran, up hill, and down hill, but the fox ran faster than Rover, and got away.
How did you get him back?
O when Rover went away, he soon came back to me. I do not let dogs run after him now.

O Jane! I am glad you have your doll with you. How pretty it is!
Yes, Mary, I think it is a pretty doll. I like it very much. You are just in time for lunch. We will have it here on my little table.
O that will be jolly fun, Mary! I will set the table, and put on your little dishes.
Yes, Jane, you set the table, and I will run and ask mamma' for some bread and butter and cold meat.
Get a cup of milk, too, Mary.
Yes, here they are--bread, butter, cold meat, and a cup of nice milk.
Well, here is a chair for you, one for me, and one for my doll.
What shall we do after lunch?
We will jump rope, Mary. I have a nice new rope.
O so have I! Mamma' just gave me one.
But, Mary, we must not jump rope too much. It is not good for us.
Well, we will jump but a little while, and then I must go home.

One day Ann and Frank went to the lake with Rover.
Rover can swim well, so Frank made him go into the water after a stick.
"Jump, Rover! Jump in and get the stick," said Frank; and into the water he went with a big splash.
Pretty soon he came out with the stick in his mouth.
He did not like the fun so well as Frank, for the water was a little cold.
They had a fine time for a while with Rover, and then set out for home, as it was late in the day, and they could not stay long.
On the way home, Rover saw a rabbit, and away he went after it, as fast as he could go.
Ann and Frank ran too, but could not keep up with Rover and the rabbit.
When they got home, Rover was there, and Frank said--
"Where is the rabbit, Rover?"
Rover gave Frank a funny look and went away.
"O I know!" said Frank, "the rabbit ran so fast you could not catch it."

Look, sister! See that eagle!
Yes, Frank, I see two eagles. What large wings they have!
Yes, they fly over the beach to find fish.
Do they eat fish, Frank?
Yes, they are very fond of fish. The eagle is a large and strong bird. Mamma' saw one take up a rabbit and fly off with it.
I wish we could catch one, Frank. How funny it would look in a cage!
Yes, sister, but you would have to get a much larger cage than the one your redbirds have.
O I am afraid it would hurt me. If it got out of the cage, it would fly away with me.
No, it could not do that, but it could hurt you with its strong beak.
What is its beak, Frank?
The beak is its mouth. All birds have a beak, but not many have one so strong as that of the eagle.

You are very kind, Mary, to have a nice fire for me. I am cold after my long drive.
Yes, Fred, you look cold and tired, but you will soon get warm by this fire. How far did you drive?
Seven miles, and the snow and ice made it a cold ride.
Can we skate on the lake now, Fred?
Yes, the ice is strong. We can have a good skate. Do you want to go and try it?
O yes, Fred! I like to skate. Will you go with me?
Yes, as soon as I get warm. But John and Ann are coming over to see us.
Well, Fred, we will ask them to go with us. Ann likes to skate.
O yes! if they go, we shall have a merry time.
What fun it will be, Fred! I will run now and find my hat. We will go as soon as they come.

Papa', I want to sail in the new boat. Will you take me out?
It is pretty cold, Frank. See how the wind blows, and how the waves roll on the beach. I know it is cold, papa', but I have on a warm coat.
Well, come on. I will hold the boat while you get in.
So Frank and his papa' got into the boat and put up the sail.
The waves were very high, but Frank was not afraid. The boat was strong, and his papa' could sail it well.
The waves dashed over the side of the boat, but the more they dashed, the more fun it was for Frank.
When Frank got to be a man, he was so fond of the water that he went to sea in a large ship.
He learned how to sail the ship, and after a while, he was made captain of it.
He is an old man now, and likes to tell little boys and girls all he learned and saw while he was captain of a ship.

One day, when Frank and John were going to school, they saw an old man with a flute.
"Will you please play a tune for us, sir?" said Frank.
"Yes, boys, I will play for you. Are you fond of music?" "Yes, sir, we like music. You used to play your flute when I went with mamma' to see you."
"O you are the little boy who had your flute with you, are you?"
"Yes, sir, and I have learned to play a little on it."
"Well, I am glad to see you again, my boy.
"I will play you a tune, and then you must play for me."
"But my flute is at home, sir."
"O well, you can use mine. It is a good one."
The old man played a tune for the boys, and then gave the flute to Frank to play.
Frank played a tune, and did it very well.
"How well you play!" said the old man.
"You are very kind to say that, but I wish I could play as well as you do," said Frank.
"O you will soon do that. All you will have to do is to try."

PEARLS IN VERSE.[A]
Be the matter what it may, Always speak the truth. If at work, or if at play, Always speak the truth.
Do your best, your very best, And do it every day. Little boys and little girls, That is the wisest way.
Little children, love each other, Never give another pain, If your brother speak in anger, Answer not in wrath again.
Early to bed and early to rise, Make men healthy, wealthy, and wise.
[Footnote A: It is intended that these selections shall be memorized by pupils, but as they do not form any part of the reading lessons, the words not heretofore used are not regarded as "new words."]
Suppose your task, my little man, Is very hard to get? Will it make it any easier For you to sit and fret?
Then wouldn't it he wiser Than waiting like a dunce, To go to work in earnest, And learn the thing at once?
Speak the truth, and speak it ever, Cost it what it will; He who hides the wrong he did, Does the wrong thing still.
To do to others as I would That they should do to me, Will make me honest, kind, and good, As children ought to be.
When mother says, "Do this," or "that," Don't say, "What for?" and "Why?" But let her hear your gentle voice Say, "Mother dear, I'll try."

1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm collection.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit https://pglaf.org
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
