Evangeline, a Tale of Acadie

E. H. Davis, Superintendent, Chelsea, Mass. "I have read through with much interest the copies of your Standard Literature Series, and have placed several of them on our list of approved supplementary readers. The wonder is that any house can offer such books at so small cost."

C. F. Boyden, Superintendent, Taunton, Mass. "I am thoroughly convinced that the real reading of all our pupils should be standard literature. I think your Standard Literature Series well selected and well adapted for this work."

Mason S. Stone, State Superintendent, Montpelier, Vermont. “Admirably adapted to our public schools."

G. A. Southworth, Superintendent, Somerville, Mass. "I have examined copies of your Standard Literature Series with interest and pleasure. The subjects selected are excellent and the plan of the series commends itself. The low price brings the books within easy reach."

Eugene Bouton, Superintendent, Pittsfield, Mass. "The ideal reading would take the masterpieces complete. Lack of time and money, however, must usually make the attainment of this ideal in many cases impracticable. In all such cases your Standard Literature Series seems a happy solution of the greatest good attainable under existing conditions."

Wm. H. Huse, Principal Hallsville School, Manchester, N. H. “I have examined the Standard Literature Series and can hardly use language too strong in praise of both the books and the plan on which they are arranged and issued, as well as the motive that brings them out."

Franklin Carter, President Williams College, Williamstown, Mass. "I think the idea a good one of making the reading of our schools cover some such fine stories as are embodied in the Standard Literature Series. The abbreviations are necessary, and I judge are well done. The notes are certainly discriminating and helpful.”

S. T. Dutton, Superintendent, Brookline, Mass. "I am glad to say

that I have been much pleased with the form and the execution of the Standard Literature Series. The selections thus far have been excellent and the books are attractively constructed."

"I like your
