the last lesson in this book. We have finished the First
Reader.
You can now read all the lessons in it, and can write them on your slates.
Have you taken good care of your book? Children should always keep their
books neat and clean.
Are you not glad to be ready for a new book?
Your parents are very kind to send you to school. If you are good, and if
you try to learn, your teacher will love you, and you will please your
parents.
Be kind to all, and do not waste your time in school. When you go home,
you may ask your parents to get you a Second Reader.
