Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beautiful Book for Little Children "A thing of beauty is a joy forever," says the poet; and so we cannot too soon begin to teach the child to recognize and love the beautiful. We here give him the beautiful in art, and the beautiful in thought; and, if he has not yet learned to read, the parent or teacher will here find the means of teaching him with ease and speed. The method is plain and natural, like that of teaching a child to speak. Point to the words of a line in their order, and see that he gives his attention to their form, size, and sound. Repeat this patiently, and for a short time every day; and you will soon be surprised at his progress. Do not trouble yourself, as yet, about the alphabet, or the analysis of syllables; and let the little pupil himself choose the piece that you are to drill him on.
