Children's Literature

Children's Literature Synopsis

The literature referred to is the best that we can suggest. When better shall come to our attention, that will be included, for only "e;the best is good enough for children."e; All selections presented have been tried either in this school or elsewhere. Nothing is presented wholly on a theoretical basis. Much literature is offered for each grade-much more than can possibly be presented. The intention is to refer to types of suitable material, leaving to the teacher the selection of that which best accords with the characteristics of the pupils and the limitations of the school library. Sometimes the teacher will find the material that will best suit the pupils in a list several grades either above or below the one indicated. This is true, both of the school work and of the home reading.
