Excerpt from Prose That Every Child Should Know: A Selection of the Best Prose of All Times for Young People This volume is a growth. It is the growth of a life-time, based on happy hours in School and Sunday school, Study-hours with great teachers, Debating Clubs, Teachers' meetings, and conferences with un worldly women and great men. It is the crystallization of Childhood's intense emotions when the big boys and girls, their faces aglow, spouted declamations; the recollections of Fourth of July celebrations when Gen eral Boyd made speeches and some loyal citizen read the Declaration of Independence, solemnly publishing and declaring anew that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent. This book is the recalling of dear old lessons in United States History, when the war was inevitable, and We set up the war-whoop and dug up the toma hawk, and The birthday of the Father of his Coun try was ever freshly remembered by American hearts.
