McGuffey, William Holmes, 1800-1873

"McGuffey's Eclectic Primer, Revised Edition"


I see the boys and girls with their books and slates.
When the bell rings, they will go in.
A good child likes to go to school.

LESSON XXXVIII.

qu
[Illustration: Quail in brush.]
"John! come here. Be quick, and tell me what kind of bird this is."
"Do you not know, Henry?"
"Oh, no! what is it?" "It is a quail."
"It is the first quail I have seen. Is it good to eat?"
"Yes; but I should not like to kill it."

LESSON XXXIX.
Kate dear name blue baby near shut crib sit
[Illustration: Baby sleeping in crib.]
Is not this a dear baby in the crib?
Her name is Kate, and she has big, blue eyes. You can not see her eyes,
for they are shut.
Kate is a good baby; but she will cry if she is hurt, or if she is not
well.
Bess likes to sit near the baby, and to rock her in the crib.

LESSON XL.--REVIEW.
Henry Black and Ned Bell live near our house. They go to school, and I see
them go by each day with their books and slates.
Miss May tells the girls and boys that they should be at the schoolhouse
when the bell rings. So Henry walks fast, and is first at school. He is a
good boy, and wants to keep the rule of the school.
Ned is not a good boy. I do not think he likes to go to school or to
church.
