Excerpt from Child Life and Literature The aim of this book is to call the teacher's attention to the choice of material in literature best suited to the nature and needs of elementary school pupils. To this end a gen eral survey is made of the field of child psychology, and a course in reading and literature is developed in harmony with the dominant mental characteristics and natural ih terests of children. It is gratifying to notice a tendency on the part of educa tional authorities to enlarge the school curriculum in liter ature. School readers alone must fail to interest children in reading. Complete units should be presented instead of extracts. Every phase of child life should be reflected; and all material should possess true literary merit.

Excerpt from Child Life in Tale and Fable: A Second Reader A taste for good reading is an essential part of an education. To develop this taste, while helping the child to learn to read, this book has been prepared. It is important, in the beginning, that the child should like What he reads, and that the lessons should not be so difficult as to mar his pleasure in reading. For this reason great care has been taken to make attractive lessons, Within the child's ability to read and understand. The stories, as the name of the book suggests, have been carefully selected from the legends, tales, and fables, which, by their genuineness and truth to life, have come to form a literature for children. The longer selections have been divided into parts of sufficient length for one lesson. By doing this it has been possible to introduce versions and adaptations of tales of real classical value. The more difficult words are placed at the head of the lessons, and are marked for pronunciation. A key to these marks is given and should be carefully studied.

Excerpt from Child Life in Prose It will be seen that a considerable portion of the volume is devot ed to autobiographical sketches of infancy and childhood. It seemed to me that it might be interesting to know how the dim gray dawn and golden sunrise of life looked to poets and philosophers; and to review with them the memories upon which the reflected light of their genius has fallen. I leave the little collection, not without some misgivings, to the critical, but I hope not unkindly, regard of its young readers. They will, I am sure, believe me when I tell them that if my own paternal claims, like those of Elia, are limited to dream children, I have catered for the real ones with cordial sympathy and tender solicitude for their well-being and happiness.

Excerpt from Old-Time Child-Life These truthful sketches have been written with a desire to turn the attention of young people to the charms of quiet country life. They are offered to those older boys and girls who, while still retaining a simple taste in reading, have ceased to be contented with verbal pap. So much impressed am I, however, with the dignity of oldtime rural life that I may, in treating of it, have sometimes talked over the heads of my desired audience. If, there fore, these experiences are told in a style too formal for the taste and capacity of the age for which they are designed, it will be partly because of such frame of mind, and partly because I have flattered myself that mothers may like to road the little book to their children.

Excerpt from In Those Days: A Story of Child Life Long AgoOh, if I had only been little when Grandma was little were the words heard over and over again from _a little six-year-old girl who was visiting her grandmother. Every day, nearly, Grandma had told her namesake stories about when she was a little girl how she looked, how she worked, studied, and played until Phaabe had wished with all her heart that she could have lived and played with Grandma long, long ago.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
