An Ambleside year is a year of the Ambleside Online programme, not a reader's age. Year 0 is its first year, and a book used over several years shows the span. The ages beside it are that band offered two grades up and none down, which is how we offer a band; they are a placement, not a reading measure.
The Moral Obligation to Be Intelligent is an influential essay by John Erskine, during his tenure as an English professor at Columbia from 1909 to 1937. In the early 1920s he started teaching a great books course at Columbia, which later founded the influential Great Books movement.
