Your Pupils Soon Tire of a Book Constantly in Hand

To read well one must read widely. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the lower grades. Long before the basic reader is finished many other simple books should be read. A book constantly in hand soon loses interest, while another, with practically the same vocabulary, brings fresh ideas and is vigorously attacked by the busy inquisitive little minds. Get a supply of Famous School Classics and give your classes the benefit of frequent change of books. The cost is slight. Bright and interesting, every one.

Typewriting and Penmanship

The mastery of RHYTHM is a prime requisite to success in speedy and accurate typewriting and in flowing and graceful penmanship.

MUSIC will evoke a decided rhythmic response from the fingers in any typewriting or penmanship drill. IT ELIMINATES: stiffness, awkwardness, self-consciousness and drudgery. IT SECURES: agility, accuracy, precision, uniformity and interest.
