Excerpt from Types of Children's Literature: A Collection of the World's Best Literature for Children, for Use in Colleges, Normal Schools and Library Schools

The editor hopes that he has allotted a proportionate and equita ble amount of space and emphasis to each type, department, and section of the collection. He had it in mind, at least, to give as many pages over to poetry, for example, in proportion to prose, as many pages to fairy stories, for example, in proportion to myths, as would indicate roughly the average child's interests. If this proportion is not due and just, as the editor sometimes fears, it is to be hoped that critics will realize the web of difficulties in which such a task as this is entangled.
