Excerpt from A Geographical Reader
The ordinary reading-lessons furnished pupils treat of subjects which have little or no relation to the studies pursued. From an unwise promotion in classes these lessons are frequently above the comprehension of pupils both. In thought and expression, and reading of necessity becomes a merely mechanical process. The pronunciation of words is substituted for a natural and intelligent ex pression of ideas.

Excerpt from A Geographical Reader
The result of numerous experiments has shown that the ability to read may be acquired incidentally while the attention is primarily directed to some subject of thought. The philosophy that explains this result also indicates the general method to be pursued. At each stage of development such subject-matter is to be brought before the learner as constitutes the best aliment for the mind's growth at the time, and, when books are used, this subject-matter is to be presented in an attractive literary form. The food should be palatable as well as nutritious. In the processes of receiving, assimilating, and expressing the thoughts contained in these literary productions, pupils, without direct and conscious effort, learn to read, to write, and to spell, and to tell what they have learned both orally and in writing.
It is of prime moment that reading exercises should be adapted to the condition of the pupil's mind at each period of growth; that the subject-matter should be both intelligible and interesting; and that the modes of expression be such as will constitute appropriate models of style, and will awaken sensibilities in the direction of literary excellence.
