Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Prose and Poetry for Schools If criticism is offered because of the omission of favorite authors, we can only suggest that this is no compendium of Southern literature. It was impossible to include everything, and those selections were made which, in the judgment of the editors, would hasten the establishment of a point of contact between the youth ful student and that great world of literature to which we hope to introduce him. The grouping of the stories and poems should be of assistance to the pupil. The usual chronological ar rangement has been abandoned; selections have been assembled with reference to a central idea, both for the sake of clearness of apprehension and for the purpose of sustaining interest.
