 INTRODUCTION 
 
 i3 
 
 The Public Library of the District of Columbia furnishes to 
 the Public Schools of the city, through the school stations and 
 through the cooperation of the grade teachers, many thousands 
 of books during the school year. It is more and more forced 
 on the attention of the library that numerically only a small 
 portion of the children of Washington are being satisfactorily 
 reached by the main library and its one branch. It is to the 
 schools, reaching every locality, to which the library looks for 
 help in solving the problem. A book in the hands of a 
 teacher and recommended by her carries great weight. There- 
 fore by sending small libraries to all of the schools, more par- 
 ticularly the distant ones, we hope to reach the right child with 
 the right book at the right time. Any teacher may select or 
 request the library to select one book for each child in her 
 class or any number of books up to fifty, w^hich Avill be sent 
 to her by the library and called for at the end of tw^o months, 
 after notification, unless she desires to retain them for a longer 
 period. For the convenience of the teachers and to advise 
 them of the material to be had for supplementary v/ork and 
 for pleasurable reading this graded and annotated catalog of 
 books has been prepared. It has been arranged by subject 
 that the material on the w^ork being studied may be readily 
 found. There is also an author index. Many of the books 
 listed in a certain grade w^ill be found useful in a low^er or 
 higher grade, the grading being only suggestive.
