At one time there was a theory that the way to make men educate themselves was to let them select the subject in which they were interested and study only that.

In other words, their aim, instead of being to cultivate their minds by efforts, is to attempt to cultivate their minds as with little (b)(interest) as possible.

Now, most people think that is the wrong way.

Why is it so necessary for students to students to study the great literature of the past? It is because literature has to do with man, his nature and his society.

While we can say in all honesty that science and technology is totally different now and infinitely more advanced than in past ages, when it comes to man it is hard to reach any other conclusion but that man is still the same man he has always been.

Human nature has not progressed.

Man lives in a more modern setting, of course, but his thoughts, emotions and actions often seem to be as (a)primitive as the earliest of men.

The great classics of literature tell us about man, the perennial man, his problems and his desires.

These works, written hundreds or even thousands of years ago, tell us not only about ancient man but also about today's man and often speak to us more directly than the most recent literature.

The great classics are always (b)contemporary because they deal with the fundamental human problems which always remain the same: love, desire, ambition, envy, conflict, death, etc.

It would seem wise to consider well the advice of Bulwer-Lytton, the 19th century English novelist, who said, "In science, read the newest works; in literature, the oldest. The classic literature is always modern."

Great cities are strange phenomena.

It is wrong to compare them with beehives, for in a beehive the wish of the individual has been unquestioningly sacrificed to the good of the community.

But in London, as in all modern cities, it is the (individual) that counts.
