The Beginner's Garden Book: A Textbook for the Upper Grammar Grades (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Beginner's Garden Book: A d104book for the Upper Grammar Grades One of the most striking educational movements of recent times is toward the interesting of children in gardening. State boards of education, local school boards, and local home gardening associations have all encouraged and superintended the work. The advantages are very plain, and in both town and country two are chief. In the first place, children, whether through an awakened love of ﬂowers or an understanding of the economic value of vegetables, are brought into direct con tact with nature, and must necessarily profit, mentally and physically. In the second place, children are kept busy who otherwise might be idle through the weeks of vacation. They learn to work, they understand the values created by work, and they gain from this both self-respect and respect for property. Gardening thus becomes a lesson in civics. In addition, in country towns intensive agriculture, our depend ence in the future, must be stimulated by gardening. The garden movement is, for all these reasons, of even national importance. This book is offered as a textbook of gardening for the upper grammar grades. It covers not merely the school work indoors and out, but also the work of gardening at home. Thus it has a wide field, and at the same time follows the natural activities of the school year. From his own knowl edge of gardening, as well as from his acquaintance with the school and home gardening work at Concord, Massachusetts, the author is certain that the book is practical.

Excerpt from The Story of Rolf, and the Vikings BowFrom thirty to sixty years ago appeared the greater number of the English translations of the Icelandic sagas. Since then the reading of these heroic tales has so completely gone out of style that their names are rarely mentioned in schools or even colleges. What boy feels his blood stir at the mention of Grettir? How many lovers of good reading know that the most human of all epics lie untouched on the shelves of the public libraries?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Relates the thrilling exploits of Rolf in the land of the Vikings: how he becomes an outlaw, and a thrall, and at long last gains his freedom and avenges the unlawful slaying of his father. Through his trials Rolf is challenged to grow in manliness, developing courage, self-control, patriotism, and perseverance, and in the end rising above the feud that has consumed him for so long. The story, inspired by Icelandic sagas, serves as an excellent introduction to the prevailing values of the Viking era. Suitable for ages 11 and up.
