A series of poetic bits for youngsters in grades one to eight to memorize.
The selections have been chosen both for their moral influence and for their permanent value as literature. They have been carefully graded to suit the needs of every class from the primary to the high school. Either the whole poem or a sufficiently long quotation has been inserted to give the child a complete mental picture.
There are various authors represented here — Longfellow, Mrs Browning, even Bulwer-Lytton. The Compilers were superintendents of schools in California.
