Excerpt from The High School Prose Book: Part IIn making the following selections the Editor has had in mind the instructions contained in the High School Programme or Studies Regarding the Teaching of Literature in the Lower School: -"The object of the course in the Lower School is the cultivation of a taste for good literature, not by minute critical study, but by reading at home and in school, aloud and silently, with due attention to the meaning, standard authors whose works will quicken the imagination and present a strong element of interest. Such works should be chiefly narrative, descriptive, and dramatic."There are, of course, many considerations which have entered into the choice of the selections contained in both the First and Second Prose Books, - such as copyright, as well as length, difficulty, unity of thought, etc. It has, however, been the aim of the Editor to select from standard authors passages which would excite the interest of the pupils, and which might at the same time afford good examples of different varieties of prose style, and various types of narration and description.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
