,,instruction4 ,the greatest need of the primary school to-day is some positive content or subject matter of instruction4 ,the popular conception of such a school is that its main function is to teach the young child to read1 write1 and cipher4 ,that is1 that it has to do mainly with the formal aspects of language and numbers4 ,so long as a certain amount of facility is gained in these formal arts1 there is little disposition to demand anything more4 ,even so great an authority as the ,committee of ,fifteen has championed this view1 and has given as its deliberate judgment that the first four years of school life should be devoted to the mastery of the formal phases of instruction4 ,while it may be contended that it is not meant to exclude the giving of a positive subject matter1 still it is interpreted as sanctioning the present obvious over-emphasis of the formal side of language in our primary schools4 ,a strict conformity to this formal program would mean that the first four years of school life1 the most impressionable period in the pupil's school career1 are to be empty of any real subject matter4 ,the mastery of written and printed forms is to be set up as an end in itself1 losing sight of the fact that they are but means for conveying the thought1 feelings1 experiences1 and aspirations of the race from one generation to another4 ,when we consider what the child at the age of six or seven really is2 when we consider his love of story1 his hunger for the concrete material of knowledge1 his deep interest in the widening of his experience1--it is evident that such a course is out of all harmony with his real nature4 ,it is the giving of stones when the cry is for bread4 ,it is even worse than the proverbial making of bricks without straw4 ,it is attempting to make bricks with straw alone4 ,,the ,,mastery ,,of ,a ,,vocabulary ,,not ,,the ,,material ,,of ,,instruction4 ,it will be granted that the mastery of a printed and a written vocabulary is of the utmost importance4 ,as a subordinate end1 the ability to interpret the printed page and to express thought in correct form is the most imperative demand upon the school4 ,but these acquirements are not a content in themselves4 ,they are not the material of instruction4 ,in themselves1 they do not enlarge the understanding or furnish the food which the young mind hungers for--and must have if it is maintained in a condition of health4 ,they are mere forms1 and the dwelling upon them during the impressionable years of childhood results in a deadening of his interest and dwarfing of his powers1 so that the over-emphasis of this phase of education to the exclusion of content defeats its own ends4 ,laying the foundation for a future character edifice1 keeping active the developing interests1 the widening of his experience1 the formation of interpretative concepts1--these are of greater value from the point of view of language mastery1 even of its spoken and written forms1 than the persistent drill in its formal elements4 ,language teaching must be approached from the content side if we are to get any genuine interest in the overcoming of difficulties on the part of the child4 ,there is no interest for the child in the language forms themselves when presented in abstraction and emphasized as such4 ,he may be drilled into proficiency1 but the interest does not come from the relation of these formal elements to his own needs or activity4 ,the interest has been external and it flags as soon as the external excitement is withdrawn4 ,a genuine interest1 an intrinsic one growing out of his own needs and nature1 can be fostered only by supplying a subject matter adapted to the various levels of thought through which his development leads him4 ,if this is furnished1 it is no partial1 intermittent attention that the pupil gives4 ,while dealing with such a content he is not forming the habit of mind-wandering and inattention so frequently seen when children are kept closely to word drill and to reading for elocutionary purposes4 ,a ,,wider ,,circle ,,and ,,purpose1 ,,growing ,,out ,,of ,,the ,,child',s ,,life ,,and ,,needs4 ,the possession of a wide acquaintance with the standard subject matter of child literature before serious attempts at learning to read are made1 will subordinate the acquisition of a reading vocabulary as means to an end desired on the part of the child4 ,there will be purpose in it for him4 ,the learning to read will be seen as a step necessary to a fuller expression of activities already going on1 and difficulties will be overcome because their mastery is a means in a wider circle of purpose growing out of the child's own life and needs4 ,if1 in early years1 the emphasis is removed from the form to the content side of instruction1 if his native hunger for folklore and nature-material is satisfied1 the learning to read will be lifted out of drudgery and will be accomplished with self-effort1 and with a rapidity truly surprising4 ,the early forcing of technique is not a real gain in the child's education1 however much may be apparently accomplished4 ,immediate results are not a safe guide for instruction in the primary grades4 ,they are1 many times1 a positive loss in time1 and are gained at the expense of dwarfing the mental and physical powers4 ,there is no real need of forcing the process of learning to read if the teacher is ready with a subject matter which the child is already going out to meet4 ,the time of the first year of school life would conduce far more to the child's progress if spent with learning to read and write as a secondary consideration1 and the giving of a real body of culture1 ethical1 and nature material as a main purpose4 ,subsequent progress would be all the more rapid and instruction be all the more educative because a wider range of interest would call forth self-active participation of all the powers4 ,the widening of experience and the formation of interpretative concepts would allow further instruction to be grasped with sufficient avidity to carry it over into actual assimilation into the self4 ,,language ,,teaching4 ,what has been said with regard to the relation of reading to a content is equally true with regard to what is known as language teaching4 ,it is a hopeless task to endeavor to give skill in the use of language independent of a content which is not in accord with the pupil's own stage of development4 ,the interest1 to be genuine1 and productive of self-effort1 must always be in the content4 ,an enrichment of his vocabulary1 a proper use of words1 correct form of oral and written speech must come1 not for themselves1 but as results of an effort to the adequate expression of something which the pupil is interested to communicate4 ,the widespread criticism directed against the results of language teaching in our schools no doubt has something of justification4 ,this defect does not come from lack of attention to the matter1 or from indifference on the part of the teachers1 but largely from the over-emphasis of the purely formal aspects of language4 ,the matter is approached from the wrong side4 ,in early years1 to get form we must emphasize content4 ,in the primary grades1 formal insistence on correct technique should be at the minimum1 while richness and variety of subject matter should be at the maximum4 ,nor is this without application to the remaining forms of language expression1--drawing and music4 ,skill in aesthetic forms can come only from an interest in something to be expressed in these forms4 ,when we consider that the child1 up to the eighth or ninth year of his life1 has not a sufficient mastery of a reading vocabulary to enable him to get for himself out of books material for which he has deepest need1 and which is his natural and proper nourishment1 the imparting to him orally such material assumes an aspect of gravest importance4 ,shall his early years of school life be barren and empty8 ,surely the teacher has a duty in this respect beyond giving merely formal instruction4 ,she should not allow the pressure for immediate technical results to deprive the child of his inheritance in the folklore and the epic treasures of the race4 ,it has been shown by experiment that1 with young children1 instruction is taken more readily through the ear than through the eye4 ,their pre-school education has been acquired largely through auditory impressions and exists in the mind in the form of auditory images4 ,to throw the emphasis at once on visual impression and imagery is too violent a break in their mental habits4 ,,ii4 ,,the ,,selection ,,of ,,the ,,subject-,,matter4 ,the kind of content proper to early childhood is determined by the nature of the child himself4 ,it is the child that is to be educated4 ,the teacher must take him as he is1 with full trust that the strengthening of those powers at present active will result in his highest good4 ,all attempts to improve on nature has been abortive4 ,every normal child is active in those ways which the race experience has embedded in him4 ,his activities are echoes of those by which the race has been successful4 ,the conception of the child standing over against the real subject matter of education and in direct antagonism to it1 between which and him there is no intrinsic relation and into which he must be introduced by external means1 is not in harmony with an optimistic philosophy or with a correct understanding of pedagogical principles4 ,there must be1 in the nature of things1 a relation between the activities already functioning in the child and the material the assimilation of which will constitute him not only a thoroughly equipped individual but also a socially efficient factor4 ,it is a mistaken view to suppose that the exercise and the development of the activities dominant in early childhood will lead away from the best interests of the individual or endanger his efficiency as a member of society4 ,it is anomalous to assume that the impulses and interests of childhood must be suppressed or eradicated in order to fit him for participation in social life4 ,these impulses have been implanted in his nature by actual participation in a social life on the part of his ancestry1 and they are the possibilities of a worthy social development4 ,while this is true1 while the determining factor in the selection and arrangement of the subject-matter of education is the child himself1 yet the undoubted parallelism between his growth and that of the race widens the scope and furnishes the broader basis for such selection and arrangement4 ,it matters little to what extent such a parallelism is accepted4 ,the principle once established makes it a matter of indifference whether we proceed from the individual or from the broader standpoint of the psychological history of the race4 ,this psychological history is made out by a study of the literature products left behind in the ascent from the lower levels of development to the higher1 as represented in modern civilization4 ,,phase ,,of ,,mind ,,activity ,,in ,,early ,,civilization4 ,a survey of the literary remains of the past gives conclusive proof that the characteristic phase of mind activity in the dawning periods of civilization is the imaginative or mythical4 ,the earliest literary product of every people is the epic1 whose chief elements are legends1 myths and the heroic1 and whose authorship is not individual but of the race itself4 ,such a product1 not the creation of any one mind1 but slowly fashioned through the centuries by the poetic genius of the race1 however trivial it may seem1 has strong claims on our deepest veneration4 ,it should receive most careful study and consideration4 ,these epic remains come from the innermost life of a people4 ,they are the expression of this life4 ,they are eloquent witnesses of a strong imagination dealing with the mysteries of earth1 of sky1 and of life itself4 ,they tell of the morning of history1 when man was close to nature--a part of nature4 ,the earth1 trees1 waters1 animals--all forms1 animate and inanimate1 had voices for him4 ,he communed with them4 ,he treated them as of equal rank with himself4 ,a ,,third ,,element ,,of ,,the ,,race ,,products4 ,but1 in addition to their imaginative character and their closeness to nature1 these race products have still a third element of the utmost value for use as material for primary instruction4 ,while they 8enforce no moral0 they tell 8a story1 and the moral in solution with the story40 ,each tale is a narration without comment4 ,the ethical teaching involved is in the most concrete form4 ,it is not set out and emphasized1 but lies wrapped up in the movement of the narrative itself and awaits the exercise of the child's ethical judgment4 ,viewed from our ethical standpoint1 folklore does not always come up to the highest standard4 ,there are objectionable features in many tales4 ,in this respect they reflect the uncritical and even crude morals of the time4 ,while this is true of some of the tales1 in many the ethical teaching is pure1 lofty and wholesome1 and furnishes an element greatly needed in our primary schools4 ,we have here held up for esteem and veneration these virtues of head and heart and action that lie at the base of a happy1 considerate and industrious home life4 ,baseness1 cruelty1 ingratitude1 and laziness are brought home to the individual in their consequences4 ,the corresponding virtues are shown in their true relation to happiness and well being4 ,this may not be the highest form of ethical activity1 but it is the only kind of ethical teaching on a level with child thought4 ,the morality of the stories is set forth in the concrete as a principle of action found valuable in the race's history4 ,that such a content is a great desideratum for purposes of ethical instruction in our schools all will admit4 ,the condition of religious thought is such as to preclude the use of sacred literature4 ,perhaps it would not afford so many advantages for purposes of ethical teaching in the first year of school life as literature closer to the childhood of the race in its origin4 ,some subject-matter that affords opportunity for the exercise of the ethical judgment is an imperative demand for our time4 ,what is there more suitable than this embalmed judgment of the race as to what is valuable in conduct and character8 ,here are stored up in a form that appeals to the child material for generalizations as to the conditions of well-being and of happiness1 as well as of a moral and a useful life4 ,all that the race has thought1 felt1 and experienced is here at the service of the child4 ,one is almost tempted to use the expression of ,hegel and say that1 in assimilating the ethical teaching of these racial literatures1 the child is being suckled at the breast of the ,universal ,ethos4 ,,the ,,legendary ,,and ,,the ,,mythological ,,the ,,child',s ,,natural ,,food4 ,even to casual observation there is close correspondence between child nature and the characteristics of the early literature of the race4 ,children are wholly in the imaginative on mythical level of thought4 ,they are immersed in the sensuous4 ,they refuse to be bound by the hard matter of fact4 ,they will away and claim the world as their own through which to roam on the unfettered wing of fancy4 ,they claim freedom to construct their own world and to people it with creatures of their own fabrication1 independent of the shackles of time and space4 ,the child also feels himself a part of nature1 not as something standing over against it4 ,the separation has not yet come4 ,he ascribes an equal and like personality to animate and inanimate objects4 ,he is at home among animals and plants4 ,there is spontaneous interest in all phases of nature1 and inborn love for her creatures2 and as to the ethical element1 the child is not without points of contact for it4 ,he is born with social impulses4 ,he is not only to be a social creature1 but is one at all stages of development4 ,he is nothing if not social4 ,the fiction of original1 independent individuality which must be thrown off1 given up1 or eradicated before becoming a social being1 is fast giving way to the natural or organic theories of social origin and growth4 ,the very impulses which are sometimes cited to show the natural depravity of childhood are the vigorous reaching out of his nature toward a participation in the social life4 ,thus there can be little doubt as to the fitness of legendary and mythological material for the needs of the child4 ,it is his natural food4 ,it fits in with his forms of thought--is in obvious relation to them4 ,it meets the needs of activities already functioning4 ,it discloses a world in which he can be at home4 ,it falls in with his interpretation of this world1 while the simple social life therein depicted appeals to his interest4 ,,how ,,are ,,we ,,to ,,discriminate ,,as ,,to ,,material ,,to ,,be ,,selected8 ,if this position is granted1 how then1 out of the vast richness of the material1 are particular selections to be made8 ,what principles should govern in our choice8 ,as already hinted there are degrees of value1 for purposes of instruction1 in the immense treasury of folklore1 myth and fable4 ,it will be readily conceded that what is known as folklore has qualities rendering it of greatest value1 for the first years of school life4 ,it is simple and direct4 ,its conception of the world is that of pure naturalism4 ,the formal myth and fable belong to later stages of mental development4 ,the fable1 too1 has the objection of being explicitly didactic in its enforcement of the moral4 ,,narratives ,,selected ,,and ,,the ,,basis ,,of ,,selection4 ,in the following narratives1 for the most part consisting of ,german ,mrchen1 the principles of selection given below have been kept in mind3 #a4 ,the story must be simple1 direct1 and imaginative4 #b4 ,it must have strong ethical significance and must avoid cruel situations4 ,stories dealing with happy home life--emphasizing industry1 thrift1 and usefulness--are to be given preference4 #c4 ,it must offer a content rich in social allusion1 in outdoor life1 and in references to natural objects1 animate and inanimate4 #d4 ,it should be of such abiding worth that it will bear repetition and hold interest4 #e4 ,it must be dramatic2 that is1 there should be movement1 activity1 dialogue1 interesting and even humorous incidents1 but all subordinate to a central unity4 ,only such a dramatic unity can work a deep and lasting impression4 ,these principles of selection are in the main those enunciated by ,william ,rein in his excellent manual1 ,das ,erste ,schuljahr1 a book with which every primary teacher should be familiar4 ,the stories here presented have the sanction of such eminent students of pedagogy as ,william ,rein1 ,ziller1 ,just1 and ,hiemish--all leaders of educational thought in ,germany4 ,the text of the first fourteen tales has been translated with a few adaptations from the ,german of ,hiemish1 as found in his ,das ,gesinnungsunterricht4 ,to these have been added ,andersen's ,fir ,tree and ,miss ,harrison's ,hans and the ,four ,big ,giants4 ,the order here given is not essential1 but on the whole it will be found a rational one4 ,the succession could be determined by many points of view4 ,the one here chosen is that of relation to home life4 ,the series begins with the simplest home relations of parents and brother and sister4 ,it gradually broadens into the wider circle of companionship1 and contact with the world external to the home4 ,it culminates in ,miss ,harrison's fine story1 ,hans and the ,four ,big ,giants1 where the separation from home is complete and the child is brought into contact with the highest industrial and scientific phases of modern civilization4 ,transition from the more simple situations to the more complex and longer narratives have also been kept in mind4 ,,the ,,four ,,story ,,groups4 ,thus the stories fall into four groups4 ,the ,first ,group comprises ,the ,seven ,little ,goats1 ,the ,star ,dollars1 ,red ,riding ,hood1 ,sweet ,rice ,porridge1 ,mother ,frost1 and ,rose-,red and ,snow-,white4 ,these stories are confined chiefly to the home circle and deal with the relation of parent and child4 ,the ,second ,group is ,the ,cock and the ,hen1 ,the ,death of the ,cock1 and ,birdie and ,lena4 ,these are partly inside and partly outside the family circle4 ,there is contact with persons outside the home4 ,the ,third ,group is ,the ,wolf and the ,fox1 ,the ,street ,musicians1 ,the ,straw1 ,the ,coal and the ,bean1 ,the ,wonderful ,traveler1 and ,cinderella4 ,this group extends the relationship further into the external world4 ,lastly1 in the story of ,hans and the ,four ,big ,giants1 the horizon is widened so as to include the separation from the home and an independent career among strangers4 ,the ,fir ,tree is added for use as a ,christmas story for those who desire it4 ,in fact1 many of the stories could be taken out of their order and be used as introductions to the study of the seasons4 ,the ,cock and the ,hen is an autumn story1 while several others might be used as dealing with spring time4 ,,iii4 ,,the ,,problem ,,of ,,correlation4 ,the two chief problems of educational practice concern the selection and the arrangement or organization of the educative material4 ,the problem of the organization of the subject-matter is spoken of as ,correlation or ,concentration4 ,any proposal silent on this point would not be adequate to the best school thought or practice of the hour4 ,the main contention over this question hinges on what subject should be taken as a center around which other lines of instruction should be gathered4 ,against the proposition to use the historical or culture-historical material as such a center objections can easily be raised4 ,it will be granted that it does not offer an ideal point of departure for all the activities of even the primary school4 ,it will be granted further that such a center is not the true center of the social life4 ,it is liable to over-emphasize the purely intellectual side of instruction at the expense of the volitional phases1 and it cannot be a center for the correlation of number4 ,but mathematics and literature do not correlate4 ,arithmetic and formal science have arisen in dealing with the practical problems of industrial processes4 ,they are forms which industrial processes have taken on4 ,there are some reasonable objections to the correlation of what is called 8,construction ,work0 with this literature material4 ,but1 on the whole1 the narrative1 or story1 offers1 under present conditions1 the only practicable center for correlation in the first school year4 ,especially since1 at this period1 formal number work and science proper are at their minimum4 ,for the language arts1--reading1 writing1 spelling1 exercises in oral speech1--it is the natural medium4 ,the aesthetic arts1--drawing and music--and even construction work1 can be correlated here without undue violence to instruction as an organic unity4 ,this material1 too1 furnishes at least a point of departure for what is known as nature study4 ,it will find abundant inspiration in the animals1 plants1 and natural objects alluded to4 ,from what has been said1 it will be seen that the stories are to be used as a medium of instruction1 not just told and enjoyed4 ,they are to be regarded as subject-matter to be assimilated and expressed4 ,they provide a content by means of which the various school arts may reverse their usual direction and become1 so to speak1 centrifugal--the spontaneous outflowing of the self4 ,merely telling the story does not exhaust its possibilities4 ,it should be made a means for the exercise of the entire round of childish activities4 ,unless the understanding is enlarged1 the sympathies widened1 the ethical sense deepened1 and steady advance made in all lines of technique1 the teacher will miss the true aim4 ,,iv4 ,,suggestions4 ,the manner or method of presenting and using the material is based largely on ,herbart's 8,formal ,steps40 ,though an effort has been made to get away from their rigidity1 no teacher can afford to become hampered by the requirements of a too rigid system or a too formal method of instruction4 ,yet there must always be a consciousness of what meets the demands of educative instruction4 ,apperception1 or learning1 takes place under certain conditions only4 ,these conditions must be met4 ,,the ,,treatment4 ,it is not the intention to give a list of set questions whose form and order are to be rigidly followed4 ,it is difficult to fix upon the precise point where such questions cease to be helpful and suggestive and begin to trench on the legitimate province of the teacher4 ,in order to avoid this unpardonable sin1 the treatment of some of the stories has been elaborated quite fully1 to show the work entire as it has been given to children2 while that of others has been outlined1 noting only the main points to be brought out and leaving the form of presentation largely to the teacher's individuality4 ,nothing can take the place of originality and spontaneity4 ,if a fixed program is followed1 the main purpose of the work will be missed and the interest for both teacher and children will evaporate4 ,in the treatment of the two elements1 the ethical and the nature material have been separated from each other and from the other parts4 ,this is for the purpose of emphasizing them in the teacher's mind4 ,the plan need not be followed in the actual work4 ,questions and explanations may be introduced into the narration if care be taken that the interruption does not break the thread of the story4 ,there has been no attempt to divide the subject into lessons4 ,however1 the preparation1 the narration1 and the deepening should1 in most cases1 be all that is undertaken in one period of fifteen minutes4 ,this is as long as young children should be kept to one exercise4 ,if this is done in the morning session1 the reproduction and the other exercises could come in the afternoon session4 ,,reproduction4 ,a child learns to talk fluently and with correctness by talking4 ,oral speech should come before written speech4 ,if the pupil can talk in good ,english with ease there will not be much trouble with written expression4 ,to this end there should be much time given to oral reproduction by the children4 ,even the most backward child should be encouraged to attempt it4 ,there will be a strong temptation to allow the brilliant story tellers to do most of the reproducing4 ,each child should be thrown wholly on his own responsibility4 ,let him tell what he can in his own way and reserve corrections until he is done4 ,the story itself should be kept fluid4 ,it should not be allowed to crystallize into set phrases on the part of either teacher or children4 ,great liberty should be allowed in reproduction1 so that freshness and spontaneity may never be lacking4 ,the reproduction may immediately follow the deepening process or be reserved for a separate period4 ,it should be given from the beginning frequently4 ,,the ,,preparation4 ,it is well to give the aim or purpose of the story first4 ,this may be in the form of a brief outline giving the general direction which the story is to take4 ,some such hint seems a pedagogical necessity4 ,nothing is so tiresome to an adult1 even1 as to listen to a discourse whose aim and purpose are not apparent4 ,and then the movement as a whole should be in the mind of the children from the first4 ,it is in accordance with sound pedagogy to bring to the foreground of consciousness the ideas already possessed by the children1 and known to be related to what is to be presented4 ,the new is learned or understood 7apperceived7 by the old4 ,that which has been once assimilated enters into and modifies old concepts2 these in turn classify the new material and reduce it to order and unity4 ,it is therefore important that1 before a story is told1 the related ideas be brought forward ready for use by means of a few well directed questions4 ,in many cases the proper result may be attained by suggesting a difficulty or problem for the children to solve4 ,,the ,,narration4 ,after the preparation follows the story4 ,it should be given in short divisions4 ,each such division should be as far as possible a dramatic unity1 subordinate of course to the main one4 ,the story should be told1 not read4 ,every primary teacher should be a story teller4 ,anyone that has felt the deep1 enthusiastic response of children to a story well told will feel amply repaid for any effort to cultivate the art of story telling4 ,on this point few suggestions can be given4 ,the main elements of good story telling are intrinsically connected with the emotional and spiritual endowments4 ,a genuine appreciation of child-nature must be combined with a lively and emotional manner of expression4 ,,the ,,deepening4 ,it is wise in most cases to question on the main points of the narration4 ,this fixes them in the children's minds so that reproduction of the story will more readily follow4 ,the amount of such questioning must be determined by the needs of the class4 ,only the main points should be dwelt upon4 ,with young children details should be avoided4 ,,the ,,nature-,,material4 ,the best way to widen the experience of children is to bring them into actual contact with things4 ,but1 as organized and carried on at present1 the school can do very little of this first-hand teaching4 ,however1 at school age1 such is the activity of childhood1 most children have a considerable body of nature experience which can be used as interpretative concepts for new and similar material4 ,careful teaching will always aim to discover what experience the individual members of a class have had in order that inadequate ideas may be strengthened and given greater detail4 ,this may be done by some child's telling his experience1 by the teacher giving the information--using descriptions1 pictures or drawings1--or finally by proper questioning4 ,starting from what is already known1 a skillful teacher can build up an idea1 though of course more or less indefinite1 of the object or process that is comparatively unknown4 ,questioning can never do more than bring into explicitness what is really in the mind in a vague way4 ,yet1 when we consider that the possibilities of all science and1 in fact1 of all knowledge1 are implicit in the experiences of the normal child of school age1 it is seen that the use of questions as an educative means is practically unlimited and that it should not be neglected even in the primary grades4 ,there is in the stories an abundance of nature-material and of material bearing on industrial occupations and processes that may serve1 when properly used1 as an excellent basis for mental growth in these directions4 ,in making sure that ideas along these lines are clear1 a foundation is being laid for a more vital grasping of geographical instruction later on4 ,the old object-lesson was an effort in this direction1 but its formality and isolation killed it4 ,it is not the purpose to recommend formal object lessons4 ,the main purpose should be to see that the allusions to natural objects and to industrial occupations and processes are understood4 ,and if they are not1 to bring them into adequate clearness by proper instruction4 ,,the ,,ethical ,,material4 ,there is a wide difference1 so far as method is concerned1 between setting forth the moral to a tale in an explicit way and allowing children to express their judgments upon concrete facts of conduct4 ,the latter is all that should be attempted4 ,in the reaction from formal moral instruction there is danger of going to the other extreme and neglecting it entirely4 ,the vital element in literature--its ultimate raison d'etre--is its ethical import4 ,it constitutes the ethical medium4 ,it gives each child the benefit of the experience of the race4 ,the duty of the school to give occasion for the exercise of ethical judgments is greater than its duty to train the merely intellectual judgment4 ,for the one determines what is good or bad1 the other what is real or unreal4 ,right conduct is of more importance than mere knowing4 ,,reading4 ,the teaching of the mechanics of reading concerns itself with affixing visual images of words to the auditory vocabulary already possessed by the child4 ,as this is a purely formal process1 having little educative value in itself1 the judicious teacher will welcome any suggestion toward minimizing routine drill4 ,instead of attempting to fix the visual form of each word1 she will limit the formal instruction to giving the child a capability of deciphering new words for himself1 that is1 of translating them into motor images of articulation4 ,instruction that does not give to the child this capability is wasting time and misdirecting energy4 ,in order to have facility in the mastering of new words1 it is necessary that there be a knowledge of the vocal value of the letters and an acquaintance with the groups into which words may be separated according to similarity of sound4 ,thus daily short drills upon the purely formal side seems a necessity4 ,this should be done in a separate exercise1 however4 ,at the same time this formal process should not be wholly divorced from the thought side4 ,the learner should be able to grasp quickly the meaning the sentence conveys as a whole1 and to give it natural expression4 ,to make this connection between the two elements as close as possible1 the sentences to be given visual form should be taken from the children themselves4 ,these can be written on the board1 or printed in large type on ,manila sheets 7forming a chart71,a or in ordinary type on slips to be given to the children4 ,the possession by the class of the common subject-matter which the stories supply1 renders this plan feasible and always full of interest4 ,knowledge of the content will reinforce the recognition of words and sentences and thus make progress in acquiring a visual vocabulary rapid and1 in part1 unconscious4 ,moreover1 the anticipation of the meaning of what is about to be read will result in a natural expression of it4 ,if the child has even a provisional grasp of the meaning of the whole sentence before attempting to read it1 the expression will largely take care of itself4 ,until the comprehension of the meaning is instantaneous1 there should always be a preliminary study of the sentence to be read1 so that the thought as a whole may at least be foreshadowed in the mind of the child4 ,in this way there is a vital relation between reading as a formal process and that which is read4 ,this obviates the necessity of using isolated and unfamiliar topics as well as those having no value in themselves4 ,from the first the reading matter should have value for the child--be related to his stage of thought and to his dominant interests4 ,,drawing1 ,,etc4 ,the stories are an excellent source from which to draw material for expression in the various aesthetic exercises--drawing1 paper cutting1 modeling clay1 or dramatization4 ,whatever the form1 it should be the spontaneous portrayal of the child's own imagery4 ,however crude the product may be1 if it is a genuine attempt at such expression1 it has the essential element of an aesthetic creation and should have our respect as such4 ,with a very little instruction in putting on sky and ground1 in representing distance1 progress will be rapid4 ,drawing should be in a color medium1 and be a daily exercise4 ,paper-cutting is of absorbing interest to children and is a form of school art that rapidly gives definiteness to the images of natural objects4 ,it brings out a high degree of manual dexterity and offers almost as wide a scope for individual composition as drawing4 ,these exercises1 not needing the teacher's immediate direction1 can take the place of the many forms of meaningless 8busy work0 that a misdirected ingenuity has devised for the purpose of keeping children 8still40 ,,dramatization4 ,another form to which the stories lend themselves readily is dramatization4 ,children take intense delight in throwing striking situations into dramatic form4 ,this exercise also should be undirected4 ,if the story has not become crystallized into set phrases1 this form of reproduction becomes a genuine language exercise4 ,,construction4 ,in the foregoing we have examples of artistic creation4 ,there is a spontaneous impulse toward embodying in a suitable form the child's own imagery4 ,this activity goes on for its own sake2 it gives pleasure4 ,in construction proper1 where direction is given and objects are made from dictation to serve a useful purpose1 we have activity passing over into what is called work4 ,this side should not be neglected4 ,children are to live in a real world1 where the purpose of activity is not always in the activity itself but may lie in something external to it4 ,things have to be made for certain definite purposes and because of certain needs4 ,these control the activity4 ,while it may be admitted that the stories do not form the ideal connection for uniting such activity with the whole1 yet1 under present conditions1 they offer the only means practicable4 ,children will take a deeper interest in making ,red ,riding ,hood's basket than in making one that has not this ideal environment4 ,attention is called to that excellent little manual1 8,construction ,work10 by ,worst1 where measurements and directions can be found for the construction of most of the familiar

feet4 ,then the wolf ran to the miller and in a rough voice said1 8,strew some white flour on my feet40 ,the miller1 thinking the naughty wolf was going to deceive some one1 did not want to do it4 ,but the wolf said1 8,if you do not do so at once1 ,i will eat you40 ,this made the miller afraid4 ,so he powdered the wolf's feet with flour4 ,this done1 the wolf went a third time to the door of the
