Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Literature: For the Use of Secondary and Graded Schools It would seem that literature ought to serve as a prime agency in the education of the emotions and, indirectly, of the will. This is particularly true of the early adolescent age, with which the upper grammar and the lower high school grades are concerned. If the study of English during this greatest crisis of the student´s life is merely formal, he loses one of the best influences school can ever give him. To say so is not to underestimate the value, ethical or commercial, of formal training in composition. There is need for Spartan severity regarding chirography, orthography, punctuation, syntax, and logic. The task of securing correctness by Spartan methods, and, at the same time, of arousing an unconstrained love for noble literature, is the almost hopeless labor set for the English teacher. Gradgrind and enemy of Gradgrind he must be within the same hour. But there is no escaping the double duty, and no denying that the second part of it is the more important. No greater danger can beset secondary education than the notion that its true aim is merely the acquisition of instrument knowledges; but, of the twin evils resulting from the information cult, the neglect of ideals is worse than the neglect of scholarly method. But literature is in the schools; the problem is, How should it be graded? There is no solution in following the procrustean principle of chronology.
