99.
_The Rime of the Ancient Mariner_, VII, 29.

6. Patience and gentleness seem charming in these selections:

_The Wind and the Sun_, Volume I, page 95.
_Cinderella_, I, 224.
_Rab and His Friends_, VI, 99.

7. Faithfulness is a virtue. We admire it in:

_Something_, Volume I, page 395.
_Whittington and His Cat_, I, 442.
_The Mirror of Matsuyana_, II, 36.
_The Snow Queen_, II, 124.

8. That envy and covetousness are unpleasing and unprofitable are shown
by these:

_The Dog and His Shadow_, Volume I, page 63.
_The Frog Who Wished to Be as Big as an Ox_, I, 66.
_The Golden Touch_, II, 43.

9. Contentment, peacefulness, hopefulness are made very attractive in
the following:

_The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse_, Volume I, page 199.
_The Pea Blossom_, I, 205.
_The Flax_, I, 378.
_The Discontented Stone Cutter_, II, 12.
_The Fir Tree_, II, 68.
_The Blind Lassie_, VI, 120.
_Pippa Passes_, IX, 293.

C. We have grouped together here two classes of selections which
inculcate patriotism or devotion to one's fatherland and devotion to
God. How admirable the selections are! You have only to read them to
see:

1. Patriotism:

_Holger Danske_, Volume II, 377.
_Incident of the French Camp_, IV, 174.
_The American Flag_, V, 396.
_Battle Hymn of the Republic_, V, 399.
_Stonewall Jackson's Way_, V, 400.
_Horatius_, VI, 1.
_Bannockburn_, VII, 15.
_Breathes There The Man_, VII, 151.
_How Sleep the Brave_, VII, 151.
_Make Way for Liberty_, VII, 172.
_The Old Continentals_, VII, 175.
_America_, VIII, 60.
_The Battle of Thermopylae_, VIII, 81.
_The Fall of the Alamo_, VIII, 141.
_Herve Riel_, VIII, 168.
_The Battle of Trafalgar_, VIII, 284.
_The Gettysburg Address_, IX, 321.

2. Suitable selections under this topic are difficult for teachers to
find, owing to the objection there is against religious teaching in the
public schools. Parents have greater liberty of selection. The following
are beautiful and seem wholly unobjectionable:

_A Thought_, Volume I, page 66.
_The First Snowfall_, II, 403.
_Nearer Home_, IV, 126.
_Stonewall Jackson's Way_, V, 400.
_The Rainbow_, VI, 91.
_A Child's Thought of God_, VII, 418.

_Who Stole the Bird's Nest?_

The obvious purpose of these verses (Volume II, page 399), is to create
a love for birds by making things appear uncomfortable for the boy who
steals
