SPEAKING PIECES FOR LITTLE SCHOLARS AND OLDER PUPILS

BY ELLEN ORTENSIA PECK

Price, boards, 50 cents

THIS, in very truth, is a "rare gem of a book" of its character. In
common phrase, it "fills the bill" for the exceedingly useful purpose
for which it was designed. The book includes within its pages original
recitations and dialogues, charades and entertainments for school
exhibitions and home pleasure, with pieces for birthday and wedding
anniversaries, Decoration Day, and other occasional celebrations. The
foundation purpose of the book is grand,--the many varieties of
composition, which include almost numberless methods of expressing
beautiful and valuable thoughts and sentiments; the remarkable
adaptability of the pieces to elevate the mind, attract the quick and
abiding interest of the reader; the noble spirit; the persuasive and
gentle rhythm; rich, yet plain language,--render this little volume one
of substantial merit and permanent worth; and as the simple expression
of great thoughts appeals to young and old alike, so "Speaking Pieces"
will find admirers other than "little scholars and older pupils."
