Elson-Gray Basic Readers, Vol. 5 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Elson Grammar School Reader, Vol. 4 It is worth while to make a thorough study of a few well-chosen selections. Through the power gained in this way children. Are enabled to interpret and enjoy other selections without the aid of the teacher. If the class work is for the most part of the intensive kind, the pupils will read the remaining lessons alone for sheer pleasure, which is at once the secret and goal of good teaching in literature. Moreover, they will exercise a discriminating taste and judgment in their choice of reading matter. To love good litera ture, to find pleasure in reading it and to gain power to choose it with discrimination are the supreme ends to be attained by the read ing lesson. For this reason, some selections should be read many times for the pleasure they give the children. In music the teacher sometimes calls for expressions of preference among songs: What song shall we sing, children? So in reading, What selection shall we read? Is a good question for the teacher to ask frequently. Thus children come to make familiar friends of some of the stories and poems, and find genuine enjoyment in reading these again and again.

After we had finished our traffic, we put to sea again and at last arrived at Bagdad. I gave large sums 5 to the poor and enjoyed myself with my friends in feasts and amusements. Here Sindbad made a present of one hundred sequins to Hindbad, whom he requested to return the next day to dine with him and hear the story of his fifth voyage. THE FIFTH VOYAGE OF SINDBAD THE SAILOR 10 All the misfortunes I had undergone could not cure me of my desire to make new voyages. I therefore had a ship built and, taking with me several merchants, I started on my fifth voyage. "We touched at a desert island, where we found a roc's egg. 15 We could see that the young bird had begun to break the shell with his beak. The merchants, who were with me, broke the shell with hatchets and killed the young roc. Scarcely had they done this when the parent birds flew down with a frightful noise. We hurried to the ship and set sail as speedily as 20 possible. But the great birds followed us, each carrying a rock between its claws. When they came directly over our ship, they let the rocks fall and the ship was crushed and most of the passengers killed. I caught hold of a piece of the wreck and swam to an island. 25 Here I found fruit and streams of fresh, pure water. After resting and eating some of the fruit, I determined to find out who lived upon the island. I had not walked far when I saw an old man sitting on the bank of a stream. He made signs to me to carry him over the 30 brook, and as he seemed very weak, I took him upon my back and carried him across. When we reached the other side the old man threw his legs around my neck and squeezed my throat unt...
