Synopsis
Excerpt from The School Poetry Book
The inspiration and delight derived from familiarity with the best poetry may be regarded as among the most precious results of education.
Children should be made to understand that school training is but the preparation for the broader education and culture which it is their duty, and should be their pleasure, to acquire for themselves; and to this end it is essential that they be so taught that after leaving school they may look not to the newspaper and the last novel for their ideals, but to the high and worthy thoughts of the English classics.
