y high school student. The selections concerning Arthur form a series of narratives which, though from different sources, give a vivid picture of the great knight and his times. The cycle is in volume V and the titles are: _a._ _Arthur Made King_, page 117. _b._ _Arthur Weds Guenevere; The Round Table_, page 119. _c._ _Arthur and Pellinore_, page 122. _d._ _Arthur Gets Excalibur_, page 127. _e._ _Balin and Balan_, page 130. (The stories given so far were written expressly for _Journeys_, but all have followed rather closely the relation of Malory.) _f._ _Geraint and Enid_, page 148. (This is one of the most popular of Tennyson's _Idyls of the King_. The poem is given complete.) _g._ _The Holy Grail_, page 207. (1) _The Knighting of Sir Galahad_, page 208. (2) _The Marvelous Sword_, page 209. (3) _Galahad and the Siege Perilous_, page 212. (4) _Galahad draws the Sword of Balin Le Savage_, page 213. (5) _The Holy Grail Appears_, page 214. (6) _Galahad Gets His Shield_, page 217. (7) _The Grail Achieved_, page 222. (The story of the search for the Holy Grail, which is taken from the narrative of Sir Thomas Malory, retains his quaint and charming style. The only material changes are in paragraphing and the use of quotation marks.) _h._ _Dissensions at King Arthur's Court_, page 232. (This was written for _Journeys_, to cover the interval between the achievement of the Grail by Sir Galahad and the death of Arthur.) _i._ _The Passing of Arthur_, page 237. (This is Tennyson's beautiful poem given in full. It describes the last days of Arthur's reign and the strange story of his death.) VII. _Lyrics._ This topic gives the titles of about fifty beautiful lyrics. VIII. _Myths._ Twelve titles showing stories from the mythology of different nations. Many of the articles have explanatory comments and, though stories and notes are intended primarily for young children, the whole offers a good introduction to a more extended study of mythology. IX. _Don Quixote._ The five adventures related give a good idea of the nature of the book and are sufficient for reference when the history class is studying chivalry. X. _Odes._ These seven of our finest odes will please the class in literature. XI. _Poetry._ Look up the sub-titles for names of poems. XII. _Wit and
