"The literary culture which we are trying to give our boys andgirls is not sufficiently contemporaneous, and it is notsufficiently national and American....
"Among the living writers there is no one whose work has a moredistinctively American savor than that of William DeanHowells.... The juvenile books of Mr. Howells' contain some ofthe very best pages ever written for the enjoyment of youngpeople."—Percival Chubb.
