I should think you are ve-ry glad you have got a new book. Boys and girls are ve-ry fond of change, and like what is fresh and new; and this is, I think, why they are so full of life and fun,-be-cause the world is new to them, and they are not used to see the same sights, and to hear the same sounds, day af-ter day, as we are.

Well, and I am glad too, for I hope each one in the class will take up this book and like it; for you are now old e-nough to think of what you read, to know what it means, and so find out that a book is not a dead thing, but that it has a voice and can speak to you, e-ven if you were deaf to a-ny oth-er voice, and can tell you things you did not know be-fore; and can tell them to you twice or thrice and not get tired, you do not get tired of read-ing them.
