The second night we camped in a snow-storm, on the edge of the canyon walls, under the spreading limbs of a grove of mighty silver fir; and next day we went down into the wonderland of the valley itself.

Readers should be chosen for their literary value from the recognised children's classics, such as the Peter Rabbit type, Alice in Wonderland, Water-Babies, and not made up for the sake of reading practice. The pictures on the walls should be hung at the right eye-level, and the windows low enough for looking at the outside world whatever it may be.
