A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following plan is designed to meet the requirements of the Committee of Ten ;namely, The student shall be made familiar with the subject-matter, form, and structure of the book; shall be able to answer simple questions on the life of the author and the literary period in which he lived; and shall be taught to state with clear and accurate expression his own independent criticism of the authors work. This is the bare working rule laid down by the conference, but in addition to this scheme there are certain other aims indispensable to class-room work. Of these ims, the plan here presented points first to the simple object, pleasure. As good kill a man as kill a good book. Reading even a good book from a sense of duty only is of little benefit, and may do as much harm as the reading of literary refuse; for an aversion to the good is already a leaning toward the evil. Students will read what they love, and they must be taught to love that which is worth their admiration. If they feel that the reading of this book is a matter of pleasure as well as of discipline, the drudgery of study is already minimized. Nor need the pleasure in this instance be confined to the reading of Silas Marner only. Comparisons with the works of Dickens, Thackeray, and others will prove a stimulus to outside reading and open up an unknown field of pleasure. The second aim is to procure for classes a solid amount of the old Bible
