The Student Should be led to feel that the story is real, human, better than a bloody and impossible narrative of desperadoes Who never existed, and more interesting than a cheap pursuit of the vulgar pastimes of the playground. The days of Nelson's glory should be made to live in his mind's eye. The example of the great sailor should set his heart on fire with a burning wish, not, perhaps, to fight and die if need be for his country's glory, but at least to do what thing soever it may be his duty to do.
