Abstract
Today some schools do not include in their curricula the plays of Shakespeare; but we who know the wholeheartedness and wholesomeness of Shakespeare to satisfy man in all walks of life cannot but deplore this omission. Are not such educators letting something beautiful, something of priceless worth slip from the grasp of their young people? Why have teachers of literature not made more of an impression on the mass of the people in the last hundred years? Can the level of appreciation of the more lasting and worthwhile things of life be raised by a study of Shakespeare, and if so, how?
