Excerpt from The Teaching of Poetry, in the High SchoolThere has lately been much criticism of the teaching of literature in the high school. It has been suggested, by those who have attempted to measure school work by its effect upon later life, that recent generations of high-school stu dents have not gained all that they should from this study. They point out that we have been led to expect that twelve years of school contact with the best literature would establish an abid ing interest in good reading, but we have found that high-school graduates, once they enter upon their life-work, give a surprisingly small part of their leisure time to reading of any sort, and still less to reading the world's best literature.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
