Excerpt from Little Stories of England There are two reasons why such books as this may well occasionally receive a period Of the regu lar school time. In that way only will the impor tance of general reading be properly impressed upon many pupils. Only in that way, too, will the teacher have opportunity to give needed ideas about the proper method of general reading. Textbooks in school are usually covered so slowly that children rebel if they have preserved enough, individuality to harbor ideas Of their own. And, as a conse quence, any books that they are free to read in their own way they cover altogether too rapidly. They need to learn a middle way. By reading such stories as these with a class, or by talking them over one by one with a class after the latter have read them, the teacher can give many valuable facts about method that will influence all later general reading. Since general reading of books, maga zines, and papers, as distinguished from strenuous study Of a particular text, constitutes the main part of reading for most persons after their school is past, the magnitude Of this matter is easily apparent.
