Author's summary.— A method is offered whereby definite rewards, in the form of grades, may be used to stimulate student participation in outside reading without unbalancing one's grade curve for the class; also a novel method for checking and accrediting supplementary reading—a system which has much to recommend it besides being easy for the teacher.
