Excerpt from An Elementary Course of Study in Literature for Grammar Grades
In comparison with arithmetic, grammar, language work, and other subjects, the grammar grade literature course has received but scanty constructive attention in the last few years. Many subjects have been, at least partially, clarified as to their purposes, content, and method; but this has been allowed to remain tangled and obscure. This is not fair to the subject; nor is it fair to the school-supporting public whose faith in the efficacy of teacherdom should move all teachers to the most earnest scrutiny in forming courses of study. Worst of all, it is not fair to the boys and girls. To their development our schools must minister. Their welfare demands the most scrupulous care in the selection of what our schools should teach. And if all this were not ground for a careful overhauling of the course in literature, a new portent appears to stimulate the undertaking: there is a strong and growing discontent with our school work in literature. To what end is it designed! On what rational basis is its system of method founded? Why do we find in this latter day that many of our boys, - school boys, - hate to read and our girls become perverts in reading? Why are the great poems and stories of the race less well known by school graduates than they were fifty years ago? Why is the appreciation of poetry becoming a cult for a caste rather than a joyful experience for all? These questions in various forms may no longer be denied, - if for no better reason than because of their importunity.
It is a fair and pertinent business, therefore, to pause for a moment in the making of courses of study in literature and to examine the state of that subject as it now reveals itself in our schools.
Traditional Content of the Literature Course.
At the present time, literature under that name is generally found in the seventh and eighth grades. During these years certain poems and prose selections are introduced with an object apparently different from that pursued in framing the reading course of the lower grades.

Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating and insightful exploration of the teaching of literature in grammar schools at the turn of the 20th century. The author, a supervisor of literature teaching, argues that the traditional methods of teaching literature - focusing on biographical details, language analysis, and moral lessons - fail to cultivate a genuine love for reading in students. Instead, these methods create a sense of drudgery and alienation from the very texts they are meant to inspire. The book delves into the historical roots of these ineffective methods, highlighting the influence of classical Latin studies, the obsession with scholarship for its own sake, and the role of textbook publishers in perpetuating outdated practices. The author provides a compelling critique of these forces, arguing that they have resulted in a disconnect between the true purpose of literature teaching - to instill a passion for reading and cultivate an appreciation for the emotional and intellectual power of great stories - and the actual experiences of students in the classroom. Ultimately, the book offers a powerful call to action, urging teachers to embrace a more intuitive and engaging approach to literature teaching. The author advocates for storytelling as a primary method, emphasizing the importance of connecting with students on an emotional level and making the world of literature come alive for them. By moving away from dry analysis and focusing on the heart of the story, teachers can foster a genuine love for literature in their students, allowing them to experience the transformative power of great writing. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
