Abstract

A task worthy of the wisest minds and of the biggest efforts is to place before the young a series of reading books that will contain noble and elevating thoughts and inspiring ideals, the best that has been enshrined in the literature of ages. Whatever may be gleamed from the glorious past that will contribute to the better and holier living of the present is, by right, the heritage of the youth of today. A reading book, therefore, should be a collection of the sayings and writings of the best and noblest men. "Nothing," says Professor Brooks, "in the entire range of reading instruction should subordinate the content of what is read to anything else."
