Excerpt from The Cyr Readers: Arranged by Grades We have not wings, we cannot soar, But we have feet to scale and climb. The second year of school life is of great importance. The child, who a. Year ago entered the schoolroom, timid, looking with wonder ing eyes upon the systematic regime and the unfolding mysteries, has now attained a certain degree of confidence. He has gained in mental power. His relation to the entire world has changed. No book is entirely closed to him, for upon each page is some word of which he is the master, and he feels the certainty that the day will come when he may read any volume at his will.
