PREFACE

THIS preface is scarcely necessary to the present volume; yet I cannot let the book go out into the world without acknowledging the kind and constant courtesy of my good friends at the Astor and Columbia Libraries, especially at the latter, which has been for many years a place of refuge from all perplexities.

For the inspiration to work for the young men of our land, I am indebted to the educational genius of the metropolis, and to the boys who have been my students and are still my friends. To them I would affectionately dedicate this volume, in the hope that it may give back to them a portion of the pleasure which association with them has given to me.

LOUIE R. HELLER.
