In selecting these few poems I have had no other motive than to
give pleasure to the children who may read them; and I have tried
to study their tastes, and feelings, and
desires.--_Introduction._
Though issued in 1892, Miss Repplier's excellent collection still
holds its own among the very best, because of the high quality and
interest of the poems chosen. The little book is of a most convenient
size to carry about with one.
RELIGION AND ETHICS (p. 184)
Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he
That every man in arms should wish to be?
--It is the generous Spirit, who, when brought
Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought
Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought:
Whose high endeavors are an inward light
That makes the path before him always bright.
WORDSWORTH.
CARRUTH, W.H.
Letters to American Boys.
American Unitarian Association. .80
Uncle William (who in real life is Vice Chancellor of the University
of Kansas) has a series of clear-headed talks with the boys on
reading, sports, manners, various professions, and politics. He is
never patronizing, and always has the boy's point of view in mind.
