Excerpt from The Canadian Poetry Book, a Book of Modern Verse Anthology of Canadian Verse. Some of our greatest Canadian poets are not represented here, and of those whose names appear the selections chosen are not always typical. Except for a half dozen recently published poems, the selections are those which have been read and studied with pleasure in the Public School Grades of the Practice School during the past ten years. When ever possible the children themselves have been allowed to choose the poems to be included. The notes suggest the interests and tastes discovered in the pupils in actual lessons.
