Although many excellent collections of short stories for high schools are already available, there seems still to be a place for a book of selected stories that will provide a definite plan for the study of the short story as a type of literature. The introductory chapters offer a text for studying the development of the short story and its present form. Part I, the bulk of the text, contains modern short stories for study. Each story is equipped with (1) an introduction containing necessary information about the author and his work; (2) a set of general questions designed rather to help the student learn than to test his learning; and (3) a problem developing some particular aspect of the short-story form.
