The New Century Fifth Reader: Selected and Adapted from the World's Standard Literature (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The New Century Fifth Reader: Selected and Adapted From the World's Standard Literature

When pupils and teacher have reached this point in their study together, success depends wholly on mutual interest. Unless the teacher is deeply interested in the work, and makes thorough preparation for it, the pupils can not be expected to be interested; and even when the teacher is interested and interesting, the pupils must be left largely to their own ambition to seize the opportunity and do the work which will in the end bring such rich rewards. Nothing in after life will afford so much satis faction as a familiarity, on terms of equality, with the greatest thoughts of the greatest writers.
