The need which this book seeks to meet, a selection which will represent adequately the best of English narrative, descriptive and satiric poetry, has been felt by many teachers. The time given in the school week to English is so short that it precludes the study of many of the longer poems. Further, it is questionable if the benefit derived is commensurate with the time spent. The atmosphere of Evangeline, a knowledge of its metre, the story itself, can be got equally well from the abbreviated version given here as from the complete poem. Annotations are as few as possible and the introductory notes to each poem have been kept brief. Primarily, they give the setting and the circumstances of the poem, and secondly, they indicate the form and the metre, and the services of the author to our national literature. Thus the pupil gains from the poems themselves a knowledge of the growth ARITHMETIC SECTION The Edina Revision Arithmetics It has long been felt that the teaching of Arithmetic in the Primary Schools of the country leaves much to be desired. Many boys and girls, entering upon careers, do not justify the time and patience expended upon them by their teachers. Two reasons appear to account for the defect: 1. In many schools the schemes in Arithmetic are too ambitious, with the natural result that efficiency suffers. 2. Revision does not receive sufficient attention: hence it follows that either arithmetical rules, which were readily applied in a lower class, have been forgotten, or else facility in their application is lacking. The Edina Revision Arithmetics aim at removing these defects. Outstanding features of the Series: 1. Revision of Lower Standard Work on every page. 2. Prominence given to Short Methods. 3. Numerous Exercises, graded as regards difficulty, thus providing amply for Individual Work. 4. Memory Work (e.g., Tables, Formula, Rules for "Mental," etc.) supplied in the Scholars' Books. Book I. (Standard I.) contains twelve original and attractive coloured Illustrations, the majority of which are full page. By means of these and the Exercises based thereon, the children are trained to count and not merely to repeat a series of numbers. Book VII. (Standard VII.) This book is principally a Revision Course of the rules taught in the previous six standards of the school, and will be found especially suitable for those children who cannot remain at school a whole year after reaching Standard VII., and also in preparing scholars for Scholarship Examinations. Book VIII. A Junior Commercial Atlas to meet the needs of Central Schools and Evening and Commercial Classes, as well as of those children (both boys and girls), who remain in school at least a full year after reaching Standard VII.

The map is carefully coloured in outline in the usual style, and it shows railways in red, and railway stations are indicated by thick letters. Main roads are marked, also steamer routes and canals. Inset maps are given of Glasgow and Environs, of Edinburgh and Environs, and of the Shetland Islands. For reference in the office or for the home library the map has everything to recommend it.
