COOKE of the Cook County Normal School Chicago REVISED EDITION CHICAGO A. FLANAGAN, Publisher. COPYRIGHT 1895 BY FLORA J. COOKE. PREFACE. EELING the great need of stories founded upon good literature, which are within the comprehension of little children, I have written the following stories, hoping that they may suggest to primary teachers the great wealth of material within our reach. Many teachers, who firmly believe that reading should be something more than mere word-getting while the child’s reading habit is forming, are practically helpless without the use of a printing press.
