Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dramatic Reader for Seventh and Eighth Years The value of dramatic selections as reading material for the schoolroom has been so clearly demonstrated during recent years that it is hardly necessary to set forth here the many advantages to be derived from the use of them. One needs but to put into the hands of children such selections, and the results in intelligent interpretation and natural, easy rendering of the lines are sufficient arguments for their use. If, however, by reading certain dramatized portions of a book, young people become interested in it as a whole and in other works of the same author, the outcome will be even more satisfactory. While no attempt has been made in this book to follow out the entire plot of any story, enough has been selected in each case to show the leading characters in their relation to the plot, and connecting links between scenes have been carefully condensed and arranged, so as to preserve the continuity of the narrative; also the diction of the author of each selection has been preserved as far as possible, and scenes have been combined only when necessary for the sake of brevity. Pupils may be led to become intensely interested in preparing by the means of maps, pictures, and other references the historical setting of each story as it is taken up; and if a desire to "act" it is aroused, sufficient explanations are given to stimulate imagination in arranging the requisite scenic effects.
