+The New McGuffey First Reader
+
+October, 1998  [Etext #1489]
+
+
+**The Project Gutenberg Etext of The New McGuffey First Reader**
+******This file should be named 1489.txt or 1489.zip******
+
+Etext prepared by Dianne Bean of Phoenix, Arizona. The book
+contained diacritical markings, music notations, and samples of
+handwriting, which have been omitted in this ascii etext. There
+were several torn pages which are noted by [missing words]. If
+you have a good copy and would like to fill in the blanks or add
+the engravings to this etext, please contact Project Gutenberg.
+
+Project Gutenberg Etexts are usually created from multiple editions,
+all of which are in the Public Domain in the United States, unless a
+copyright notice is included.  Therefore, we do NOT keep these books
+in compliance with any particular paper edition, usually otherwise.
+
+
+We are now trying to release all our books one month in advance
+of the official release dates, for time for better editing.
+
+Please note:  neither this list nor its contents are final till
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.  To be sure you have an
+up to date first edition [xxxxx10x.xxx] please check file sizes
+in the first week of the next month.  Since our ftp program has
+a bug in it that scrambles the date [tried to fix and failed] a
+look at the file size will have to do, but we will try to see a
+new copy has at least one byte more or less.
+
+
+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+fifty hours is one conservative estimate for how long it we take
+to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.  This
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If our value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour this year as we release thirty-two text
+files per month, or 384 more Etexts in 1998 for a total of 1500+
+If these reach just 10% of the computerized population, then the
+total should reach over 150 billion Etexts given away.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
+Files by the December 31, 2001.  [10,000 x 100,000,000=Trillion]
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only 10% of the present number of computer users.  2001
+should have at least twice as many computer users as that, so it
+will require us reaching less than 5% of the users in 2001.
+
+
+We need your donations more than ever!
+
+
+All donations should be made to "Project Gutenberg/CMU": and are
+tax deductible to the extent allowable by law.  (CMU = Carnegie-
+Mellon University).

+Why is this "Small Print!" statement here?  You know: lawyers.
+They tell us you might sue us if there is something wrong with
+your copy of this etext, even if you got it for free from
+someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our
+fault.  So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement
+disclaims most of our liability to you.  It also tells you how
+you can distribute copies of this etext if you want to.
+
+*BEFORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS ETEXT
+By using or reading any part of this PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
+etext, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept
+this "Small Print!" statement.  If you do not, you can receive
+a refund of the money (if any) you paid for this etext by

+you got it from.  If you received this etext on a physical
+medium (such as a disk), you must return it with your request.
+
+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM ETEXTS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-
+tm etexts, is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor
+Michael S. Hart through the Project Gutenberg Association at
+Carnegie-Mellon University (the "Project").  Among other
+things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
+on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
+distribute it in the United States without permission and
+without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this etext
+under the Project's "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+To create these etexts, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works.  Despite these efforts, the Project's etexts and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects".  Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other etext medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
+But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,
+[1] the Project (and any other party you may receive this
+etext from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext) disclaims all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including
+legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR
+UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,
+INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
+OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+If you discover a Defect in this etext within 90 days of
+receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
+you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
+time to the person you received it from.  If you received it
+on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
+such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
+copy.  If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
+
+THIS ETEXT IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS".  NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS
+TO THE ETEXT OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT
+LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
+PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+
+Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or
+the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
+above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you
+may have other legal rights.
+
+INDEMNITY
+You will indemnify and hold the Project, its directors,
+officers, members and agents harmless from all liability, cost
+and expense, including legal fees, that arise directly or
+indirectly from any of the following that you do or cause:
+[1] distribution of this etext, [2] alteration, modification,
+or addition to the etext, or [3] any Defect.
+
+DISTRIBUTION UNDER "PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm"
+You may distribute copies of this etext electronically, or by
+disk, book or any other medium if you either delete this
+"Small Print!" and all other references to Project Gutenberg,
+or:
+
+[1]  Only give exact copies of it.  Among other things, this
+     requires that you do not remove, alter or modify the
+     etext or this "small print!" statement.  You may however,
+     if you wish, distribute this etext in machine readable
+     binary, compressed, mark-up, or proprietary form,
+     including any form resulting from conversion by word pro-
+     cessing or hypertext software, but only so long as
+     *EITHER*:
+
+     [*]  The etext, when displayed, is clearly readable, and
+          does *not* contain characters other than those
+          intended by the author of the work, although tilde
+          (~), asterisk (*) and underline (_) characters may
+          be used to convey punctuation intended by the
+          author, and additional characters may be used to
+          indicate hypertext links; OR
+
+     [*]  The etext may be readily converted by the reader at
+          no expense into plain ASCII, EBCDIC or equivalent
+          form by the program that displays the etext (as is
+          the case, for instance, with most word processors);
+          OR
+
+     [*]  You provide, or agree to also provide on request at
+          no additional cost, fee or expense, a copy of the
+          etext in its original plain ASCII form (or in EBCDIC
+          or other equivalent proprietary form).
+
+[2]  Honor the etext refund and replacement provisions of this
+     "Small Print!" statement.
+
+[3]  Pay a trademark license fee to the Project of 20% of the
+     net profits you derive calculated using the method you
+     already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  If you
+     don't derive profits, no royalty is due.  Royalties are
+     payable to "Project Gutenberg Association/Carnegie-Mellon
+     University" within the 60 days following each
+     date you prepare (or were legally required to prepare)
+     your annual (or equivalent periodic) tax return.
+
+WHAT IF YOU *WANT* TO SEND MONEY EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO?
+The Project gratefully accepts contributions in money, time,
+scanning machines, OCR software, public domain etexts, royalty
+free copyright licenses, and every other sort of contribution
+you can think of.  Money should be paid to "Project Gutenberg
+Association / Carnegie-Mellon University".

+THE NEW MCGUFFEY FIRST READER
+
+
+
+
+
+PREFACE
+
+The New  McGuffey First Reader has been prepared in
+conformity with the latest and most approved ideas regarding
+the teaching of reading, and its lessons embody and illustrate
+the best features of the word, the phonic, and the sentence or
+thought methods.
+
+While all the stories in this book are new, or have been
+rewritten especially for its pages, care has been taken to
+preserve the distinguishing characteristics which have given
+to the McGuffey Readers their unparalleled popularity and
+usefulness.
+
+The gradation both in thought and in words has been carefully
+maintained, and the work provided enables the pupils
+to advance by easy and evenly progressive stages from the
+beginning to the end.
+
+Only a few new words are introduced at each lesson, and
+these are repeated frequently in succeeding lessons until the
+pupils are able to recognize them without difficulty.
+
+From the first lesson script is presented in connection with
+the printed forms of words, the frequency of its use diminishing
+as the printed forms become more familiar.
+
+The sounds of the letters are taught, in the order of the
+alphabet, by appropriate exercises after the various reading
+lessons. The phonic elements and the common diacritical
+marks are learned one at a time and in a manner that is both
+natural and easy.

+
+On warm days he likes to sit in the
+shade among the green leaves.
+
+He can see the busy bees when they
+fly to the flowers to get honey.
+
+He sees the green apples about him,
+but he does not like them. He
+would not eat them if they
+were ripe and sweet.
+
+At night he can look up from his
+place in the tree and see the
+bright stars in the sky. Some
+times he can see the moon, too,
+as it shines above him.
+
+Sometimes the Pussy Cat comes
+under his tree and looks up at
+him; but she can not get him.
+
+She sits under the tree and wishes
+that she could catch him.
+
+Do you know why she wants the
+bird? Do you know what she
+would do if she could get him?

+One day Henry went out to the field
+behind the garden. He went
+out to see his father plant corn.
+
+He sat down by a tree and said,
+"Father, shall I help you work?
+I have been in the house all day."
+
+"Thank you, my little boy," said his
+father. "I want some help very
+much. What can you do?"
+
+"I should like to plant some corn.
+How much will you give me?"
+
+"I will give you four cents a day
+if you work well. But now
+the sun is about to set, and we
+must go home."

+"What is that?" said Rose as she

+
+She saw Frank at work under

+
+"It is a little boat, Rose," said Frank.
+"What do you think of this boat?"
+
+"Oh, I think it is very pretty. Where
+did you get it, Frank?"
+
+"I made it, Rose. I made it all."
+
+"How glad I am that you made it!
+Will it float in the water?"
+
+"I think so. All it wants now is the
+sail. I will soon put that on."
+
+"How I should like to see it sail!
+Does mother know  that you
+have made it?"
+
+"Not yet; but I will take it to her
+as soon as I have put the sail on it.
+
+Then, if she will let us, we will take
+it down to the river. We will
+put it in the water and see it
+float. We will see how fast it
+can sail."
+
+Soon Frank and Rose were on their
+way to the river. Frank said
+that if the boat sailed well, he
+would give it to Rose.
+
+She will let her doll sail in it.

+
+The wind blows soft; the sky is

+
+Then the leaves fall from the trees.
+
+Some of the leaves turn red, some
+turn brown, and some turn

+This is what Lucy asked her mother

+"The rain makes the grass look

+
+"The corn which we plant in the

+
+"But, mother," said Lucy, "I do not

+Sometimes their mother goes with

+
+Do you think you would like to

+
+You can hear him as he goes

+The apples are in the wagon.
+

+
+His little dog rides in the wagon

+
+Frank is a good driver. He sits

+
+Frank has a whip in his hand,
+but he does not use it.
+

+Sometimes he has to run very fast
+to keep up with the wagon.
+
+Do you know where the boys are

+
+I think they are going to town.
+
+I wonder what they will buy in
+town.
+
+Henry says he will buy a book
+with pretty pictures in it. He can
+not read very well, but he likes to
+look at books.
+
+John wants to ride down to the
+river and look at the boats. He
+would buy a new boat if he could.
+But he has only one cent, and what
+can he buy with that?
+
+Frank says they will not stay in

+Then the cold north wind blows

+It blows over the meadow and

+
+It brings snow and ice.
+
+It makes our hands and faces
+cold. We do not like the north
+wind.
+
+All children are happy when winter
+comes. They like to see the
+snow. They like to play on the ice.
+
+They do not care if the north
+wind does make them shiver. Those

+
+Sometimes the snow is so deep
+they can not go to school.
+
+In the evening, they sit in the
