There are abundant sources in English from which the teacher can get an adequate knowledge of this great poem without using the original Greek. A few of the leading books which the teacher may consult are as follows: "The Story of Ulysses" (Cook). A very simple, abbreviated narrative of Ulysses' wanderings, sometimes used as a reading book in fourth or fifth grade. (Public School Publishing Co.)--"Lamb's Adventures of Ulysses." A pleasing prose rendering of the chief incidents of the story, more difficult than the preceding. Sometimes used as a reader. (Ginn & Co.)--"Church's Stories of the Old World," in which "The Adventures of Ulysses" forms a chapter. A good short treatment of the story in simple language. (Ginn & Co.)--"Ulysses among the Phæacians," consisting of selections from five books of the "Odyssey" as translated into verse by Bryant. This seems well adapted for use as a reading-book in fourth or fifth grade, and will be discussed more fully as such. (Houghton, Mifflin, & Co.)--"The Odyssey of Homer" by Palmer, is an excellent prose-poetic rendering of the whole poem, and is of great service to the teacher. (Houghton, Mifflin, & Co.)--Another excellent prose translation, by Butcher and Lang, has been much used. (The Macmillan Co.)--Bryant's "Homer's 'Odyssey,'" a complete poetic rendering of the whole twenty-four books of the poem, is probably the best basis for school reference and study of the poem.--"National Epics," by Rabb, has a good narrative and introduction for the "Odyssey," and a list of critical references. (A. C. McClurg & Co.)--"Art and Humanity in Homer," by Lawton, has an interesting discussion of the "Odyssey." Other famous translations of the whole "Odyssey" were made by Alexander Pope, William Cowper, George Chapman, and others. It is not unusual in schools for teachers to give children of the third or fourth grade an oral introduction to the whole story in a series of lessons. This requires skill in presenting and discussing the episodes, and should be attended by good oral reproductions by the children. Such oral work should be done in distinct lessons apart from the regular reading. Later, in fourth or fifth grade, the story is sometimes read in class from one of the simple prose narratives of Miss Cook, or Lamb, or Church. In the fifth or sixth grade, "Ulysses among the Phæacians" forms an interesting reading-book, with which to acquaint the children more fully with the poetic beauty and descriptive detail of the original, so far as it can be secured in English. In connection with such reading it may be interesting to choose from Bryant's complete translation other selected parts of the story, and encourage the children to read them, if books from the library or homes can be provided.
