Excerpt from Poetry for Children Alas, London is no longer to be the home of these boys, and the cloisters of the Old Grey Friars will soon moulder away, when the merry noise of sports and revels cease to awaken them to life. As I looked through the bars the other day watching the boys at their games, a strange fancy came to me. I thought I saw a pale and studious "Grecian" (as they call the head boys of the school, and walking at his side, with glittering eyes full of wonderment, was a younger lad - a boy with crisply curling black hair, and with ruddy brown complexion, and in his look so much lovableness and trustfulness that If lt myself envying the elder lad, whose hand rested so affectionately on the shoulder of his friend. I drew near to listen to their talk. The thoughtful Grecian was discoursing learnedly yet so sweetly about some deep matter of philosophy: it seemed somewhat beyond the younger boy, but he listened quietly, rapt in admiration. Suddenly the school-bell sounded. "Hurry on, Charles ''Mid deepest meditation sounds the knell' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Children's First Book of Poetry The teacher can help, of course. Sometimes, not al ways, she can make comments that lend light and feeling. Often, but not always, she can help by reading aloud. Sometimes, where necessary, she can ask questions to provoke thought and bring out the meaning. Some times she should simply tell the meaning. Always her function is to stimulate, suggest, guide, but not to obstruct the sunlight of the poet's genius; There should be much reading aloud by the pupils. Remembering that, being poetry, it is rhythmic utter-i ance, they should read it so; not singsong fashion, nor yet in the bald and unrhythmic fashion of prose.

Excerpt from Poems for Children IT is believed that. Poetry might be made an important assistant to early education. It readily wins attention in the nursery. It wakes the mind from the dream that enwraps new-born existence, - as the song of the bird breaks the slumber of morning.

Excerpt from New Poems for Children Poetry is the natural language of the powers soon est developed. Feeling and Fancy are the goddesses that preside in the realm of childhood. Children obey their united voice, and yield themselves willingly to their smiling reign, when stern and dignified Reason frightens them with her deep, dismal shadows of the hidden and unrevealed, the fine-spun philosophy of research and toil. They will grasp the pretty gem of truth that poetry presents, and entwine around it the tendrils of sweet thoughts and pure aspirations. That poetry is a delightful source of amusement and instruo tion to children and youth, cannot be successfully controverted.
