While traveling in Greece, Miss Burt found the children of the Primary Schools reading these stories in the lower grades, the book being one used next above the primer. The interest was enthusiastic, and she brought home a copy of the book, which she has now arranged as a second reading-book for our own schools. The rapidity of action in the stories of Herakles, Jason, and the other Heroes of the Myth, the prowess and courage and untiring endurance of the men, render the characters worthy subjects of thought to young mind, and have secured the stories a permanent place in educational literature.
