Development of Taste in Literature.
National Conference on Research in English.
Developing literary taste in the elementary grades through the senior high school is examined in the four articles of this bulletin. Nila Banton Smith examines the need for improving taste, notes the dearth of current research on this subject, and indicates where further research must occur. Helen Huus discusses elements inherent in the development of taste in the elementary grades, presents methods of improving student taste, and defines some questions that need to be answered. Leonard W. Joll reviews studies related to the development of taste in the junior high school and points out promising teaching practices. Angela M. Broening takes up factors affecting taste in the senior high school and discusses literary materials, teaching methods, and tests appropriate to this age group. A bibliography is appended to each article. (LH)
