In the January 1906 Parents’ Review, Charlotte Mason made an announcement:

There are certain buried treasures in the first and second volumes of The Parents’ Review published some fifteen or sixteen years ago, and read by a former generation. The Editor proposes to reprint some of these from time to time, as they are too good to be lost and cannot be repeated.

The editor, of course, was Charlotte Mason, and she was indicating that the treasures read by one generation are meant to be read again by another. These words by Charlotte Mason clearly explain why all the volunteers who do the work of Charlotte Mason Poetry do what they do. The articles of the Parents’ Review are too good to be lost and they cannot be repeated. That’s why we keep transcribing, recording, and publishing them. It’s like finding buried treasure, and sharing it freely with the world.
