"Junior High School Literature, Book 1" by William H. Elson and Christine M. Keck is a literature anthology written in the early 20th century. The book aims to provide junior high school students with a broad range of literary selections that inspire an appreciation for American ideals, nature, bravery, and the importance of civic values. It includes stories, poems, and ballads covering various themes, highlighting contributions from prominent authors of the time.
The opening of this anthology features a preface that discusses the book's purpose in connecting literature to American ideals and social values, especially in light of the experiences during World War I. The authors emphasize the three joys of reading: the ability to travel through time and space, the acquisition of wisdom from diverse narratives, and the enjoyment of the beauty in the world through literature. This introduction sets the stage for the engaging literary selections to follow, including nature-themed stories and poems, as well as adventures designed to cultivate qualities such as courage and loyalty in students.
