Excerpt from Lights to Literature, Vol. 7: By Grades The seventh number of Lights to Literature by Grades is composed of complete masterpieces from British and American authors. The aim of the book is to provide a variety of standard literature suitable for use in the seventh year of the elementary schools. It is at this age that the pupil's habits of reading are being rapidly determined, and the selections have been chosen with the purpose of show ing him the sources of good literature, and of furnishing him reading matter from these sources. The pupil's taste for reading is not to be discouraged. Nor is a desire for trashy reading cured by condemning what is bad or by praising what is good. The reading of these selections will go a long way towards stimulating a genuine love for good literature. To aid the teacher in securing the best results from the use of this book, a set of Notes on the various selections is given in the latter part of the volume. These contain information on difficult points of the text, suggestions as to its proper treatment and study, and questions designed to awaken the pupil's thought and to assist him to a better appreciation of the matter read. While the distinct purpose of the book is to furnish reading that will foster the pupil's taste for good literature, a number of the selections will afford valuable assistance to the work in United States history usually done in this grade.
