NOTE TO BOOK ONE.

     The First Book of the Heart of Oak series is intended for children beginning to learn to read.  It is for the nursery as well as for the school.  It is for reading to the child as well as for reading by him.  The selections are such as may well become part of the stores of the child's memory, being mostly from the traditional stock of rhymes and jingles which have been sung or said by mothers or nurses time out of mind.
     In schools the little book is to take the place of a primer, and it may be used with or without an independent spelling-book, according to the skill or the judgement of the teacher.  The system of grading adopted in most books for beginning in reading is largely artificial and mechanical ; it does not conform to the natural method by which language is acquired, either by the ear or by the eye.  The omission of all hard words and of all expressions supposed to be beyond the comprehension of children is needless.  Words of varying degrees of difficulty, as well in spelling as in meaning, are learned by the ear, and should be learned by the eye, at the same time.  The talk of a child when he begins to learn to read does not consist of only words of one syllable.  Many a hard word is familiar to him in use before he sees it in print.  His ear may be made the helper of his eye.  A good teacher will point out to the child the fact that many a word which has a strange look ot him on the page is not strange to him to talk.  He soon learns how it looks and how to spell it.  With intelligent and constant assistance from the teacher the difficulties in learning to read will be much better mastered by this natural method than by the use of any artificial system.
     Any child who can read the pieces in the First Book of the Heart Of Oak series will find few difficulties in the Second ; yet in its use the intelligent and ready assistance of the teacher will be called upon.

The intent of the illustrations is to present in the most `direct manner the central idea of the rhyme, and thus to aid the imagination of the child in picturing the incident or situation described.  The jingle of the verses will live in the ear-memory, and the simple pictures will recall them to the mind's eye.  Mr. Frank T. Merrill, in these drawings, has caught the spirit of the nursery rhymes in an admirable and satisfactory manner.

the worth of word in pretty bell a tongue in swing is hanging,

found the said was indeed of Read a book of Tale on the Sail,

in the Mast a birds nest write to Teach the bark that Seals Part.

The Dumb Soldier

When the grass was closely mown,

    Walking on the lawn alone,

In the turf a hole I found

And hid a soldier underground.

Spring and daises came apace;

Grasses hide my hiding place;

Grasses run like a green sea

O'er the lawn up to my knee.

Under grass alone he lies,

Looking up with leaden eyes,

Scarlet coat and pointed gun,

To the stars and to the sun.

When the grass is rip like grain

When the scythe is stoned again,

When the lawn is shaven clear,

Then my hole shall reappear.

I shall find him, never fear,

I shall find my grenadier;

But for all that's gone and come,

I shall find my soldier dumb.

He has lived, a little thing,

In the grassy woods of spring;

Done, if he could tell me true,

Just as I should like to do.

He has seen the starry hours

And the springing of the flowers;

And the fairy things that pass

In the forests of the grass.

In the silence he has heard

Talking bee and ladybird,

And the butterfly has flown

O'er him as he lay alone.

Not a word will he disclose,

Not a word of all he knows,

I must lay him on the shelf,

And make up the tale myself.

When the bright lamp is carried in,

The sunless hours again begin;

O'er all without, in field and land,

The haunted night returns again.

Now we behold the embers flee

About the firelit hearth; and see

Our faces painted as we pass,

Like pictures, on the window-glass.

Must we to bed indeed? Well then,

Lest us arise and go like men,

And face with an undaunted tread

The long black passage up to bed.

Farewell, O brother, sister, sire!

O pleasant party round the fire!

Fantastic dreams have manifested in the beautiful breeze of challenge,

trade the frown of park for the smile on the start.

Fall the down of sharp remind yourself tonight,

get up slow the level is more like a strange night glow,

Instant rest between the chores the shark is in the lung,
allowing swim to perfect the lung in salty brine of stream,
as filters gill the hands of fin a cycle is the door,
for in the reef of barrier a creek in middle storm.

Rows of read to temper sheep the farm of deep a sheet,
action is barter on the naturals while the sleep,
behoove the great in spoken crop as specifics crowd the growth,
in sponge of land a subject grand the ivory of keys.

The tunes will call the telephone crawl a booth for coins in drop,
first the rotary came to be than second on the cell stone tool,
number trace with shoulder spell abdomen of packing trim,
the Third in pill was Swallow well the Whale is the beach of fill.

Piling from the tank of be grasp the compass crumb,
a family from pod of Pea sparking in the symbol feet,
pounding hammers acoustics drill to lanes like borrowed fill,

Circle round the drum of Stand that lather will be Rose,

with Frog or Toad the pot or the stool,
in the landscape of the Nape a learner is the Crow.
