 Preface 
 
 The Pittsburgh public schools and the Carnegie Library of 
 Pittsburgh, since the organization of the latter, have striven 
 jointly and constantly to bring the pupils in the schools into 
 close touch with good books. The Library was opened to the 
 public in November 1895. Soon thereafter arrangements were 
 made for teachers and principals of schools within the city limits 
 to draw a number of volumes for class use. These books were 
 drawn directly from the shelves of the Loan department and 
 charged on schoolroom cards. The demand increased steadily 
 and the Library found within two or three years that these calls 
 'could no longer satisfactorily be met from the shelves of the 
 regular Loan collection, because the books most needed by the 
 schools were so much in demand, and the calls coming from so 
 many sources, that the volumes were too rarely upon the 
 shelves. Therefore in December 1898 the Library set apart, 
 for school use only, a special collection of duplicate copies of 
 the most attractive books suitable for the purpose. That collec- 
 tion of duplicates formed the basis for this work and, with 
 necessary changes and frequent additions, has been in active use 
 in the schools of the city since that time. 
 
 In December 1899, at the invitation of the Pittsburgh Prin- 
 cipals' Association, the librarian, Mr Edwin H. Anderson, 
 addressed its members and urged that steps be taken to have 
 the work of the Library with the schools more thoroughly 
 organized and systematized. The principals were not less 
 eager than the librarian to have this done, and a committee was 
 at once appointed to cooperate with the librarian and his as- 
 sistants in the preparation of a carefully selected and graded 
 list of books most suitable for school use, apart from the ordi- 
 nary text-books. To the general committee were added nine 
 sub-committees to cover the following subjects : Art, Geogra- 
 phy, History, Language, General literature, Kindergarten, 
 Pedagogy, Nature and High School reading. Each of the nine
 
 6 PREFACE 
 
 committees submitted a graded list covering its special field 
 and, with the exception of the language list, the classification in 
 the catalogue conformed to the divisions made by the com- 
 mittee. Instead of making a separate language sub-division, 
 all books included in the list having a generally recognized 
 literary value were marked with the asterisk. 
 
 The "Graded and Annotated Catalogue of Books in the 
 Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh for the use of the City Schools" 
 was issued in December 1900 and the edition exhausted early in 
 1902. A demand for copies, however, has continued up to the 
 present time and this revision of the lists prepared for school 
 grades one to eight inclusive is now issued to meet that demand 
 in part. The list of books intended for use in the High schools 
 has been omitted, as well as the various lists of reference books 
 for teachers, because it appears that these lists will be more con- 
 venient if issued as a separate publication. Out-of-print books 
 have been omitted from the lists here presented and new titles 
 added. Teachers in the Pittsburgh Schools have given freely 
 of their time to aid in the work of revision, and the grading 
 in the new edition is therefore based on their experience. In 
 the selection of books to be included teachers and authorities 
 on special subjects have been consulted and particular attention 
 has been paid to the choice of editions, having regard both to 
 text and to illustrations. 
 
 As in the earlier edition, the title and annotation for each 
 book is repeated in every grade to which the index assigns it. 
 This arrangement adds greatly to the size of the catalogue 
 as well as to the labor of preparing it, but it enables the teachers 
 to use each grade as a complete list without referring elsewhere 
 for the annotations. There has been no attempt to furnish 
 anything in the nature of supplementary text-book reading as 
 a part of the routine school work. The aim has been, rather, 
 to provide collateral reading in history, biography, travel, ad- 
 venture, simple science and good fiction to be used in the school 
 room and sent into the homes of the children. It is hoped that 
 the annotations, which are made chiefly for the teachers and 
 from their standpoint, may help them in guiding the children 
 in their choice of books, and in fitting the right book to the 
 right child. 
 
 At present the collection for school use consists of about
 
 PREFACE 7 
 
 20,000 volumes, comprising some 2,412 titles. It is adminis- 
 tered by a supervisor of work with schools and forms a bureau 
 or division of the Children's department of the Library. The 
 supervisor visits the schools, studies their needs and loans col- 
 lections of books for the school year to public, private and 
 parochial schools. During the past year sixty-six were sup- 
 plied with books in this way. The books are used by the 
 teachers in their class-rooms and loaned by them to the children 
 for home reading. A full record of the class-room use made 
 of these books is not feasible but a partial count kept last year 
 showed that 143,845 volumes were so used. To this number 
 is to be added the record of home circulation from the same 
 collection, namely 81,803 volumes, making a total recorded use 
 amounting to 225,648 for the collection. The following table 
 shows the home circulation of books loaned to children through 
 the schools for the past nine years :

 At the Central Library building, in addition to the Chil- 
 dren's Reading Room, there is in preparation a separate study 
 room for school children, which is to be furnished with maps, 
 globes, atlases and reference books particularly suited to their 
 needs. In close connection therewith is provided also a special 
 reference room for teachers, which is to contain one copy of 
 each book in the school duplicate collection and also a pedagogi- 
 cal and text-book collection. It is hoped that these will prove 
 a valuable aid both to the schools and to the Library in the 
 work toward which this catalogue is one step, namely placing 
 in the hands of the children in our schools the best books only.

 Approval by the Pittsburgh Principals' Association 
 
 The Public Schools of Pittsburgh recognize in the Carnegie 
 Library a most helpful and permanent ally in every department 
 of school work. This catalogue of books for children is especi- 
 ally appreciated by the school workers because it indicates 
 definitely and fully the literature so essential in the develop- 
 ment of intelligence, character and general culture. The care- 
 ful grading of the books listed, the complete annotation for 
 ready and convenient reference, and withal, the high character 
 of the reading matter recommended for the several grades, 
 make this publication a most valuable schoolroom guide. A 
 copy of it should be found on every teacher's desk, and from its 
 proper use should be developed the habit and the inclination on 
 the part of the pupils to read the books of genuine worth in 
 elementary education. 
 
 The substantial benefit derived from the former catalogue 
 is gratefully acknowledged by teachers and pupils. This later 
 work, thoroughly revised and brought down to date, should be 
 still more helpful as a factor in schoolroom culture. 
 
 Therefore, in behalf of the Public Schools we desire to 
 record our unqualified approval of this work by the Library 
 authorities, and to express the hope that the outcome shall be an 
 adequate appreciation of the educative spirit of the Library's 
 management and a due recognition of its inestimable benefits to 
 the youth of Pittsburgh.

 Endorsement by the City Superintendent of Schools 
 
 I most heartily concur with the Principals' Association in 
 the approval of this excellent work. The good results predicted 
 from the catalogue issued in 1900 have been fully realized. 
 The suggested use of juvenile literature so well outlined in that 
 publication has broadened our school work, vitalized interest in 
 general reading, and laid the foundation for more intelligent 
 thought along all lines. I confidently expect, therefore, that 
 this revised and improved catalogue will bring to our schools 
 still greater good in the education of our boys and girls.

 "The latest good genius of children's book illustrations is Mr. Randolph 
 
 Caldecott, a designer assuredly of the very first order. There is a 
 
 spontaneity of fun, and unforced invention about everything he does, 
 
 that is infinitely entertaining. Other artists draw to amuse us; Mr. 
 
 Caldecott seems to draw to amuse himself, and this is his charm."

 The "Brownies" first saw the light in the pages of "St. Nicholas," and 
 they have always been favorites with the children. Hordes of grotesque 
 and comical little elves swarm on every page, intent on mischief or 
 merry-making, and the drawing is clever. Rhymed stories accompany 
 the illustrations, but the pictures are the important part.

 "Since Stothard, no one has given us such a clear-eyed, soft-faced, 
 happy-hearted childhood Added to this, the old-world costume in 
 which [Miss Greenaway] usually elects to clothe her characters, lends 
 an arch piquancy. . .Her taste in tinting, too, is very sweet and 
 spring-like; and there is a fresh, pure fragrance about all her pic-

 There is a difference of opinion about this German child classic. The 
 pictures are too highly colored to please some critics, but they amuse

 they ought to be familiar to all young readers.

 "The latest good genius of children's book illustrations is Mr. Randolph 
 Caldecott, a designer assuredly of the very first order. There is a 
 spontaneity of fun, and unforced invention about everything he does, 
 that is infinitely entertaining. Other artists draw to amuse us; Mr. 
 Caldecott seems to draw to amuse himself, and this is his charm."

 lightful fairy book.

 of his name. In the struggle for existence among all these fables 
 a certain number stand out as the most effective and familiar. These 
 Mr Jacobs has brought together in this most attractive little volume.

 iEsop. 
 
 Fables; told anew and their history traced by Joseph 
 
 Jacobs. Macmillan, $1.50 j888 A25fi 
 
 Some of the fables are: The wolf and the lamb. The lion's share. 
 The frogs desiring a king. The goose with the golden eggs. Belling 
 the cat. Especially adapted to committing to memory and reading 
 aloud. 
 
 The name of ^Esop, the slave of Samos, is so identified with the fable 
 in literature, that almost all the fables that have appeared in the 
 western world have been sheltered at one time or another under the 
 shadow of his name. In the struggle for existence among all these 
 fables a certain number stand out as the most effective and familiar. 
 These Mr Jacobs has brought together in this most attractive little 
 volume.

 The fairy tales which the people of Asia, Arabia and Persia used to tell. 
 The events are supposed to have happened in the reign of the great 
 caliph, Haroun al Raschid, 786-808 A. D. It was not until the 
 reigns of Queen Anne and George I that the people of England and 
 France read them, for they were then translated into French by M. 
 Galland. From the French they were translated into all languages 
 and this edition is from Galland's version. The poetry and a great 
 deal that was dull and stupid is left out, and there are many illus- 
 trations.

 fications of the perfect historian." Dickens did have the imagina-

 itself with the materials at hand, nor could he always refrain from 
 supplying deficiencies by additions of his own.

 Edgeworth, Maria. 
 
 Tales; with introduction by Austin Dobson and illustra- 
 tions by Hugh Thomson. Stokes, $1.50 jE284t 
 
 Quaint, old-fashioned stories of widows in flowery cottages, and de- 
 voted little sons who work in the garden and earn money to pay the 
 rent; of good little orphans, and of bad school boys who poison 
 dogs. Liberal noblemen and benevolent ladies in traveling carriages 
 take the place of fairies and arrive just in time to distribute the re- 
 wards or to point a moral. These stories have become classics, and 
 are so often alluded to that children should know the characters in 
 them, and, besides, absorb their old-fashioned good sense.

 Princess and the goblin. Blackie, 3s. 6d jMi46pr 
 
 Mr MacDonald in his fairy tales teaches spiritual truths through al- 
 legories. It is to be wished that he had made the meaning of his 
 allegories plainer to the reader. It is hard sometimes to distinguish 
 the allegory from the flights of fancy. 
 
 The reader rises, however, from the reading with a stronger faith in 
 things unseen and a deep feeling of the inadequacy of things mundane. 
 Mr MacDonald's stories remind one of cathedrals, where purity and 
 silence reign within, while the evil spirits, in hideous and fantastic 
 shapes, cling lingeringly among the cornices and buttresses without.

 the materials at hand, nor could he always refrain from supplying 
 deficiencies by additions of his own.

 *At the back of the north wind. Blackie, 3s. 6d jMi46at 
 
 Princess and the goblin. Blackie, 3s. 6d jMi46pr 
 
 Mr MacDonald in his fairy tales teaches spiritual truths through 
 allegories. It is to be wished that he had made the meaning of his 
 allegories plainer to the reader. It is hard sometimes to distinguish 
 the allegory from the flights of fancy. 
 The reader rises, however, from the reading with a stronger faith in 
 things unseen and a deep feeling of the inadequacy of things mundane. 
 Mr MacDonald's stories remind one of cathedrals, where purity and 
 silence reign within, while the evil spirits, in hideous and fantastic 
 shapes, cling lingeringly among the cornices and buttresses without

 "On no European battle-field was there ever a loftier exhibition of brav-

 Dickens, Charles. 
 
 Child's history of England. Dutton, $2.50 J942 D55 
 
 This is, of course, one of the standards. Dickens is of the class of 
 historians that Macaulay had in mind when he speaks of "the qualifi- 
 cations of the perfect historian." Dickens did have the imagination 
 sufficiently powerful to make his narrative affecting and picturesque, 
 but he did not have it under that control which contented itself with 
 the materials at hand, nor could he always refrain from supplying de- 
 ficiencies by additions of his own.

 Recollections of a private; a story of the Army of the 
 
 Potomac. Crowell, $1.50 J973-7 G6gr 
 
 "The book is interesting as showing what a man experiences as he de- 
 velops from a recruit to a veteran under the pressure of active ser- 
 vice. . .One charming characteristic marks the whole a simple, sincere, 
 unboastful but genuine patriotism that leaves no doubt as to the 
 honesty of the author whether fighting or writing. While deploring 
 the necessity that required force to preserve the Union, he is filled 
 with admiration for the personal gallantry of the men who supported 
 the losing and lost cause. He nowhere scolds and throughout the book 
 presents an unconscious model of the typical Union volunteer."

 quest of Peru by Pizarro. A young Venetian of the thirteenth cen- 
 tury, brought up amid luxury and wealth, of a bold spirit and a curious 
 mind, went forth from his home in the beautiful Queen City of the 
 Adriatic, and for many years lived among the far-off Asiatic people, 
 and at a court of barbaric yet splendid pomp." Preface.

 *Tales from the travels of Baron Munchausen; ed. by E. 
 
 E. Hale. Heath, $.20 jR2ist 
 
 This book of wonder-exciting stories, written to bring into contempt the 
 exaggerations of the 18th century traveler's tales, has been appropri- 
 ated by the children with that unerring instinct which led them to 
 make Gulliver and Robinson Crusoe their own. It first appeared in 
 England under the title of "Gulliver revived; or, The vice of lying 
 exposed." The authorship was long doubtful and disputed. Modern 
 research shows that it was compiled from floating legends of his

 "I believe it to be the best introduction to English history hitherto made

 out neglecting what is picturesque and interesting to the popular taste. 
 The device of placing the four historical maps at the beginning and

 exaggerations of the 18th century traveler's tales, has been appropri-
