Excerpt from The Teaching of English, in the Elementary and the Secondary School
If a word may be added to intimate the point of view assumed in the writer's outlook upon his task, it may be this: he has conceived of the duty and privilege of the teacher of English to be that of teaching it not only for its linguistic values, for the making of intelligent readers and capable writers and speakers; but for its large culture values, and, above all, for its character values, for the spiritual enlargement, clarification, and discipline of young hearts and minds and wills, which are to be touched to finer issues by its potent ministry.
