While familiarity with classical mythology is generally recognized as essential to the understanding of literature and art and to the preservation of a great and valuable part of our artistic and spiritual heritage，the method of assuring such a familiarity to the rising generation differs in different schools。In many the stories of the gods and heroes are read in the lower grades from one or another of the children﹀s books based on the myths，and any further knowledge of the subject depends upon the study of Vergil and other Latin or Greek writers and on the use of reference books in connection with reading in English literature。
