_Daily Lesson Plans_ is the teacher's manual for the first year's
work with _The Horace Mann Readers_. Every step of each day's
lesson is planned and explained. The directions given are intended to be
so definite, so complete and so practical, that comparatively
inexperienced teachers may be able to follow them with excellent

_The manual for the remainder of the series is in preparation_.
