English literature is studied in the high schools, but a love of good reading, which can only be acquired by reading good books, will be vastly more beneficial to the scholars than knowing the names of many authors, with the titles of their most important works.
What is learned by studying literature in this way will soon be forgot- ten, but the benefit of reading even a few good books will last forever.
Only a short time since a young lady, a graduate of one of our high schools, returned one of Scott's novels, in which she had been much inter- ested. She expressed the desire to read Ivanhoe again, saying that she read it while in school, because she had been obliged to, but did not like it very well. She may not have really enjoyed it then, but had it not been required, in all probability Scott's novels would never have been taken from the shelf for her, whereas now she has read many of them. This is only one instance, but it should encourage you in this work.
In the recitations and declamations of the scholars, insist that pieces of real value be chosen, not such as serve simply for the amusement of the
225
school. I have shown many boys a little book, edited by W. K. Fobes, " Five-Minute Declamations," a collection of extracts from the speeches of Webster, Phillips, Everett, Gougli, Beecher, and other eloquent speak- ers, but seldom have I prevailed upon one to select a declamation from it, each preferring poetry. Have the boys no patriotism, that they do not feel inspired by such eloquence, or are such pieces old-fashioned?
An effort to interest the teachers in the work of guiding the reading of their pupils was made by the trustees of the library in 1881, when a special card was sent to each teacher, on which three books, at a time, could be had for school use. In some instances the teachers have availed themselves of the privilege, but many of the cards have been seldom used, and. I am sorry to say, that some, never.
At the library are duplicates of each teacher's card, on which is kept a record of the books borrowed. This is often valuable, in showing what books have proved the most desirable ; but I would ask you to inform me of any books that you find to be especially useful, that additional copies may be purchased.
I am curious te learn the books best liked by the children, and if it is not too much trouble, ask that you will have your pupils write on a slip of paper the titles of some of the books they have thought "just splendid," with their reasons for so thinking. Then please note the three or four most popular books and send their titles to me.
Being desirous that our valuable library should be more essentially a help in the school work, I have been glad to offer these hints to you. The trustees or librarian, with the most earnest desire and enthusiasm, can do but little in this work ; it rests with you.
You know your scholars, what will most help them, what will interest them, and you alone can take up this work successfully.
