This set of literature readers is authorized by the Minister of Education and prepared for the Ontario schools. The choice of selections has been dictated primarily by a desire to improve the taste, train the judgment, ennoble the ideals, and exercise the imagination of pupils, and to develop such a preference for good literature as maybe a safeguard to them in after life when they are left to choose for themselves what they will read for recreation.
The prose lessons will be found invaluable aid in the teaching of composition on account of the variety of styles they present and the kind of themes they suggest. All three kinds of poetry —lyric, epic and dramatic — are represented in the readers.
The aim in the compilation of this reader has been to keep down the number of the authors and make more extensive selections from the works of those whose writings are suitable for this purpose. It has in this way been rendered possible to make a special study of the works of each of several authors.
