Excerpt from Selection From the Annals of Tabari: Edited With Brief Notes and a Selected Glossary
It is, also, irksome for a teacher to be compelled to read the same selections with each incoming class. They pall upon his taste, and he is apt to lose that freshness of presentation which interests and captivates the student. A new text acts as a stimulus for both teacher and pupil; and makes it possible to keep up the live interest in the subject which is otherwise apt to drag in the rut of a single collection of texts.
