Open Door Language Series for 4th Grade | Antique 1928 Language Textbook | Bixley Shop

This antique Fourth Grade text book was Open Door Language Series was an innovative language course developed in the 1920s. According to the introduction... "As the name of the series suggestions, the book is an open door to self-development for each child, no matter what his native endowment may be. It endeavors to conserve ability in the use of language which is frequently lost when adult standards are prematurely thrust upon pupils and when all pupils are expected to fit into the same mold... To be of value, a training in English must be considered inseparable from the training in thinking and in living. The lessons in the book are therefore based on interesting group activities that stimulate thought, develop personal initiative, and promote a spirit of cooperation."
