And in addition to her required work, this ambitious young student
has arranged a course of reading for herself:

During the last week I have been in the library a great deal and
have been browsing for two or three hours at a time among those
delightful books. I have arranged a course of reading upon Art,
which I hope to have time to pursue, and then I have made
selections from some such authors as Kingsley, Ruskin, De Quincey,
Hawthorne,--and Mrs. Jameson, for which I hope to find time.
Besides all this you can't imagine what domestic work has been
given me. It is in the library where I am to spend 3/4 of an hour
a day in arranging "studies" in Shakespeare. The work will be
like this:--Mr. Durant has sent for five hundred volumes to form
a "Shakespeare library." I will read some fully detailed life
of Shakespeare and note down as I go along such topics as I think
are interesting and which will come up next year when the Juniors
study Shakespeare. For instance, each one of his plays will
form a separate topic, also his early home, his education, his
friendships, the different characteristics of his genius, &c.
Then all there is in the library upon this author must be read
enough to know under what topic or topics it belongs and then
noted under these topics. So that when the literature class
come to study Shakespeare next year, each one will know just
where to go for any information she may want. Mr. Durant came
to me himself about it and explained to me what it would be and
asked me if I would be willing to take it. He said I could do
just as I wanted to about it and if I felt that it would be
tiresome and too much like a study and so a strain upon me,
he did not want me to take it. I have been thinking of it now
for a day or two and have come to the conclusion to undertake
it. For it seems to me that it will be an unusual advantage and
of great benefit to me.--Another reason why I am pleased and
which I
