Excerpt from Readings in Literature for Upper Grades Because of the importance of the subject of Residing in Elementary School curricula, much thought and attention have been given by prominent educators to devising methods whereby the beginner may be taught to master the printed page. The various methods invented and put into operation have resulted in rapid progress in the scientific manner of presenting and developing the beginnings of this art. In the lower grades, the advance that has been made in the teaching of reading is satisfactory from every standpoint. While the mechanical side of the art has been provided for, the content side has not been neglected. Unfortunately we cannot view with the same complacence the conditions that exist in connection with reading in the upper grades. There we are confronted with the two-fold problem, first, of continuing the process of aiding the pupils in the matter of oral expression, and second, of leading them to a real appreciation of the masterpieces of literature. No matter how excellent may be the results obtained in the mechanics of reading, unless the pupils are inspired with a love for good books, we have failed to accomplish the most important aim of the course. This double problem makes it necessary to select the reading matter for the upper grades with the greatest care.
