CLASSICS BEING‘SCRAPPED’
Census of Eugene School Children Sliows
• Approved Authors" Lose Ground.
"How are the mighty fallen:.rrpna
Hre Island” has lost ground to "Kit ('ar
son” and "Pilgrims Progress” has had
to give way to "Preckles in favor of
voting America, "lien ilur . Silas Mar**
nor..I'he Iliad", ‘Tom Brown's School
Days", "The Last of the Mohicans” and
oven such authors as llenty and Alger
have been relegated to the scrap heap
by the pupils of the seventh, eighth and
ninth grades of the schools of Eugene
and the surrounding districts.
“The Little Shepard of Kingdom
Come,” “The Call of the Wild”, “Bobs,
Son of Battle”, and "The Harvester” are
supplanting the classics in the reading
choice of the junior high school children,
according to the results of an investi
gation recently completed by J. W. Al
rnac. “Little Women”, and “Huckle
berry Finn”, alone of the heretofore ap
proved reading for children, have retain
ed their place in the hearts of Eugene pu
pils. if Mr. Almae’s census is correct.
The investigation was carried on with
the idea of determining as nearly as
possible the type of books which should
lie selected for use in the literature and
reading commies of junior high schools.
One girl in supporting her choice of “The
Harvester” as an ideal book said, “It de
picts the model man us he should be
like.”
