as the original parents revised course.
A course In modern literature seems
to be needed as a standard for up to
date reading. Many readers Of the
classical and famous fiction courses
compare the books read with modern
novels to the detriment of the latter.
The idea Is always expressed In such
a way that 1t is obvious the reader re-
