A survey in which 131 persons of long school experience ranked eighteen questions as aids in the study of literature; rankings "emphasize the value of questions which draw on the pupil's related experiences" and imagination, while matters of fact and literary technique were ranked low.

"One hundred and thirty-one persons of long experience in school-work were asked to rank eighteen questions in the order of their merit as aids in the study of literature. These rankings emphasize the value of questions which draw on the pupil's related experiences and assist him to realize in imagination the experiences of the poet."
