    familiar with such books as J.H.  Parker’s “A B C of Gothic
    Architecture;” and of having always about plenty of photographs of
    great buildings, great men, great works of art and of famous
    places for them to see and to know ("letting them become
    familiar,” remember).

39:  Always I have it in mind that the teacher will read or make
    reference to the original when the source is so obvious as in this

    it is best to say of it.

40:  I have not attempted to quote the exact words usually given.

41:  Socrates.  This quotation is from the “Memorabilia of Xenophon,”
