Literature in Education.

The art of teaching literature to the
young is exceedingly difficult. The
writer begins with the first reading
books, placed in the hands of children
either at school or at home. A child
can enjoy nothing that he reads as long
as all reading remains for him SLOW
and painful advance from syllable to
syllable and from word to word. He
should be taught as soon as possible to
read fluently, and no other school work
should he permitted to retard his pro-
eress toward that end. A former gen.
Grafton of SchoolmaSterS had great
faith in the educative value of ''the old
blue back speller." American boys and
girls, at least. We're expected to learn
everything in that little book thor
oughly, and when they had done 50
they We're good spoilers and fairly
fluent readers. They had acquired ii
considera BILE body of words, and they
knew them by sight. They had done
some hard work, but they had some
thing to show for it, New methods are
now in vogue, but there are some de-
tenders of the old plan who still insist
that reading and spelling have been
made more difficult by a fatuous at
tempt to make them easy. 1t is not
the purpose of this article. however. to
pass upon the merits of that conten-
ton. In any case. it must be admitted
that the love of reading should be ac-
quired early in life. as otherwise there
is danger that it will never be acquired
al all.
The child who has learned to read
huently will certainly read with pleas
urc if he IS supplied with reading mat
ter that appeals to him-that is to say
with things that excite his interest and
stimulate his Imagination. After a
while what at first is only a fondness
with him may become q passion. His
taste is perfectly natural, and quite
good as far as it goes. but. unhappily
it may he too easily vitiated. He is not
