Excerpt from English Poems From Chaucer to Kipling Edited All teachers are of one mind as regards the impor tance of a continuous study of English literature during the years of preparation for college, as well as throughout the college course. It is generally recognized that the stream of English literature is not a Jordan into which we may dip seven times and depart with new bodies. A close study Of the English classics should be not only a means of intellectual development, but should lead to a love of the best books, - a love which shall be to the student as the very breath of his nostrils. There is room, we believe, in the curricula Of secondary schools for a book of poems which shall serve as a link between the earlier studies in English and the work required for entrance to college. It is hoped, also, that this book will be found useful in the freshman year in many colleges as an introduction to the study of English poetry. The brief sketch of English literature prefixed to the volume which attempts to do no more than to stake off the land marks may with profit be studied carefully at the outset by more advanced students.
