Excerpt from Poems for the Study of Language: Prescribed in the Course of Study for the Common Schools of Illinois; With Biographical Sketches and Illustrations; With Suggestions for Study

Avery Coonley Ward for Why do Bells for Christmas Ring to Eben E. Rexford for The Bluebird.

The value of this book has been greatly enhanced by an introduction by Miss Gowdy, who, as author of the course, is especially qualified to offer suggestions for the study of the recommended poems. The biography of Lowell was also written by Miss Gowdy. It is to be hoped that this book will prove useful to many teachers not only in Illinois but also in other States where the course is followed.
