Excerpt from The Continental Third Reader When a boy has learned only how to read, and not what to read, he is in great peril. Books, newspapers, and periodicals of every character multiply yearly by thousands. What shall I read is usually answered by the ability and taste of the reader. Our Intermediate schools, public and private, must shoulder the great responsibility of forming and directing the taste of the rising generation. Reading, as usually taught in these schools, falls far short of inciting a desire for general and instruct ive reading. The reason for this neglect is to be found in the great attention given to the art of expression, disregarding the child's interest in the lesson, or his knowledge of it.
