and she baked five pies4 ,and when she took them from the oven1 she found that they had baked so long the crusts were too hard to eat4 ,so she said to her daughter3 8,put you them there pies on the shelf1 and by and by they'll come again40 ,she meant1 you know1 the crust would get soft4 ,the girl1 she took the pies into the pantry1 and she put them upon the shelf in a long even row4 ,she looked at them1 and she thought how good they would taste4 8,well1 if them there pies'll come again10 she said to herself1 8,i may as well eat them now40 ,so she ate them all1 first and last6 ,come supper time1 the woman said3 8,go you and get one of them there pies1 ,i dare say they've come again by this time40 ,the daughter she went into the pantry1 and she looked at the shelf4 ,there were the five pie plates just as she had left them1--empty6 ,so she went back to her mother and she said3 8,noo1 they ain't come again40 8,not one of them80 said the mother4 8,noo1 not one of them10 says she4 8,well1 come again or not come again1 ,i'll have one for my supper40 ,and the old woman went toward the pantry4 8,but you can't have one1 if they ain't come again1 mother40 8,but ,i can10 the woman declared4 8,i'll have the best one for my supper40 8,best or worst10 the daughter said1 8,i've ate them all6 ,and you can't have one 'til they've come again60 ,well1 the woman1 she was so astonished she forgot all about supper4 ,she carried her spinning to the doorway1 and as she span1 she sang a little song about her daughter3 8,my daughter has ate five1 five pies today1 ,my daughter has ate five1 five pies today60 ,now the king was coming down the road1 and he heard the woman singing1 but he could not hear the words4 ,so he stopped in front of the door and said3 8,my good woman1 what were you singing80 ,now the old woman did not want anyone to know what a greedy daughter she had2 so she sang instead of that1 8,my daughter has spun five1 five skeins today40 8,land sakes alive60 said the king1 8,i never heard tell of anyone's doing that4 ,now look you here1 my good woman4 ,i want a wife1 and ,i'll marry your daughter4 ,but look you here4 ,for eleven months of the year she shall have all the victuals she wants to eat1 and all the clothes she wants to wear1 and all the company she likes to keep4 ,but the twelfth month1 she must spin five skeins every day1 or off'll go her head60 8,all right10 says the woman1 for she thought3 8,what a grand marriage this will be4 ,and as for them there five skeins1 by that time he'll forget all about them40 ,so they were married4 ,and for eleven months the girl had all the victuals she wanted to eat1 and she had all the clothes she wanted to get1 and she had all the company she liked to keep4 ,but sometimes she felt a little uneasy4 ,sometimes she thought of that spinning she must do4 ,the king1 he never said one word about the five skeins1 so as the eleven months had nearly passed1 the girl thought that he had forgotten all about it4 ,but one day1 it was the last day of the eleventh month6 ,the king came to her1 and he took her into a little room she had never seen before4 ,there was nothing in it but a spinning wheel and a little chair and a small bare table4 8,here1 my girl10 says he1 8here ,i'll put you tomorrow4 ,and ,i'll lock the door4 ,and here you must stay all day long4 ,at night ,i'll come1 and if you've not spun the five skeins1 off'll go your head60 ,and away he went about his business4 ,well1 the girl was that frightened6 ,she had always been such a gatless creature that she didn't even know how to spin6 ,she sat down on a stool and she began to cry4 ,how she did cry6 ,illustration3 ,the little black thing ,however1 all of a sudden she heard a knocking1 knocking1 low down at the door4 ,she got up and she opened the door4 ,there stood a little black thing1 ,,with ,a ,,long ,,black ,,tail4 ,and ,that looked up at her out of the corner of ,that's eyes1 and ,that says3 8,what are you crying for80 8,what's that to you80 says she4 8,never you mind1 but tell me what you are crying for4 ,perhaps ,i can help you10 the little black thing told her4 8,well1 it can't do any harm1 if it doesn't do any good10 she thought4 ,so she told him all about the five pies1 and the five skeins and everything4 8,this is what ,i'll do10 says that little black thing1 twirling his ,,big ,,black ,,tail4 8,i'll come to your window every morning and get the flax1 and at night ,i'll bring it home all spun40 8,what's your pay80 says she4 ,that looked at her again out of the corner of ,that's eyes4 8,i'll give you three guesses every night to guess my name1 and if you haven't guessed it by the last night1 you shall be ,,mine60 ,the girl thought that she would be sure to guess it before the month was up1 so she said3 8,all right40 8,all right10 ,that says1 and how ,that did twirl ,that's tail6 ,well1 the next day1 the king took her into the room1 and there was the flax1 and the day's supply of victuals4 8,now1 my dear10 says he1 8if that ain't spun by night1 off'll go your head40 ,then he went out and locked the door behind him4 ,the king had no sooner gone1 than a knock1--knock came at the window4 ,there was the little black thing sitting on the window ledge4 ,she gave him the flax and away he flew4 ,well1 at evening1 the knocking came again at the window4 ,the girl opened it1 and there stood the little black thing with the flax on his arm1 all beautifully spun4 8,here it is10 he said1 as he gave it to her4 8,now1 what's my name80 8,is that ,bill80 says she4 8,noo1 that ain't10 says he1 and he twirled his tail4 8,is that ,ned1 then80 8,noo1 that ain't40 8,well1 is that ,mark1 then80 she asked4 8,noo40 ,and ,that twirled ,that's tail harder and away ,that flew4 ,when the king came in1 there were the skeins beautifully spun4 8,well1 ,i see1 my dear1 that you won't lose your head tonight40 ,and he went away and left her locked in the room4 ,so every day the flax and the food were brought to the girl4 ,and every morning the little black imp would knock at the window and carry away the flax1 and every night it would bring back the flax spun4 ,and every night the girl would try the three times to guess the imp's name1 but she could never guess the right one4 ,at last1 the last day had come4 ,and that night when the imp brought back the skeins1 he said3 8,what1 ain't you guessed my name yet80 8,is that ,nicodemas80 says she4 8,noo1 that ain't10 ,that says4 8,is that ,samuel80 8,noo1 not that neither40 ,then ,that looked at her with ,that's eyes like coals of fire1 and ,that says3 8,woman1 there's only tomorrow night1 and ,,then ,,you',,ll ,,be ,,mine60 ,and away ,that flew4 ,well1 the girl she felt that bad4 ,however1 she heard the king coming along the passage4 ,in he came1 and when he saw the five skeins1 he said3 8,my dear1 ,i don't see but you'll have your skeins ready tomorrow night as well1 so ,i reckon ,i shall not have to kill you1 and ,i'll have supper in here tonight40 ,so they brought the supper in1 and the two sat down to the table4 ,well1 he had eaten but a mouthful1 when he began to laugh4 8,what are you laughing at80 the girl asked him4 8,well1 today when ,i was out in the forest1 ,i saw the funniest sight4444 ,i was in a strange part where ,i had never been before4 ,and ,i saw an old chalk pit4444 ,and ,i heard the queerest humming and humming coming from the pit4 ,so ,i got off my hobby and crept over to the pit without making a bit of a sound4 ,and there ,i saw the strangest looking little black thing with a long1 black tail4 ,and ,that was sitting at a little spinning wheel1 and ,that was spinning so fast that ,i could scarcely see the wheel4 ,and while ,that span1 ,that sang1 8,nimmy1 nimmy not1 ,my name is ,tom ,tit ,tot40 8,and ,that kept singing it over again and again40 ,when the girl heard this1 she was so happy that she could almost have jumped out of her skin for joy1 but she didn't say a word4 ,next day1 that little black thing looked so maliceful6 ,and when night came she heard the knock at the window1 she opened it1 and the little black thing jumped into the room4 ,he was grinning from ear to ear1 and ,o6 ,that's tail was twirling round so fast6 8,what's my name80 ,that said1 as ,that gave her the skeins4 8,is that ,solomon80 said the girl1 pretending to be afraid4 8,noo1 that ain't10 ,that said1 and ,that came further into the room4 8,well1 is that ,zebedee80 says she again4 8,noo1 that ain't40 ,and then ,that laughed1 and twirled ,that's tail until you could hardly see ,that4 8,take time1 woman6 ,the next guess ,,and ,,you ,,are ,,mine60 ,and ,that stretched out ,that's black hands at her4 ,illustration ,well1 she moved back a step or two1 and she looked at that little black thing1 and then she laughed out1 and says she1 pointing her finger at it1 8,nimmy1 nimmy not1 ,your name is ,tom ,tit ,tot40 ,when that black impet heard her1 ,that shriveled right up1 and away ,that flew and was never heard of again4 ,and the girl lived happily ever after1 and the king never again asked her to do any more spinning4 ,the ,taileypo ,,by ,,richard ,t4 ,,wyche ,the ,taileypo story was told to me by the ,rev4 ,george ,washington ,neale1 a student friend of mine1 years ago1 in ,chicago ,university4 ,mr4 ,neale said that he had heard the story many times in his childhood1 from the lips of the old negro story tellers in ,tennessee4 ,this story has its variant in the story of 8,the ,golden ,arm10 which was written by ,mark ,twain1 ,joseph ,jacobs and also in a collection by ,s4 ,baring-,gould4 ,it is a story that loses much in the writing1 as it is impossible to give voice modulation in cold print4 ,after hearing ,mr4 ,neale tell it a number of years ago1 in ,chicago1 ,i took it up and began to tell it1 and found many people in the ,south1 who had heard the old negroes tell it4 ,in ,january #aije1 ,i was in ,atlanta1 ,ga41 and went with ,joel ,chandler ,harris1 the author of 8,uncle ,remus10 to the ,west ,end ,school1 where ,i told a number of ,uncle ,remus stories to the children4 ,beginning in the first grade1 where ,mr4 ,harris's little grandson was then a pupil and ending in the higher grades1 where ,i told ,the ,taileypo story4 ,when the story was done1 ,mr4 ,harris said it was one of the best negro stories he had heard1 but that ,i did not have all of the story4 ,there was1 he said1 another piece of the story that should be linked with this to make it complete1 and ,i said to ,mr4 ,harris3 8,find the other piece1 and write the story complete40 ,one year after that ,harris published the story in the ,metropolitan ,magazine1 ,new ,york1 ,january #aijf4 ,harris gave it a setting and artistic atmosphere1 bringing in ,brer' ,rabbit and ,mister ,man4 ,he put it in the mouth of ,uncle ,remus1 and had the old negro1 as in his other books1 tell the story to the little boy4 ,that was a demonstration to me as to how ,harris took many of the negro stories in the raw1 and passing them through the magic of his imagination made them into art4 ,we are frequently puzzled to find humorous stories for the boys and girls1--they must have humor4 ,this story has universally amused them wherever it has been told4 ,in it reverberates the barbaric ages from whence the race came1 and it is a spontaneous expression of life from the primitive standpoint4 ,to find a story that the boys and girls think humorous1 and to laugh together with them1 is decidedly refreshing and healthful to the teacher1 who has dwelt so much on grammatical forms which are not fundamental in a child's interest4 ,as ,joseph ,jacobs1 says1 8,the children know the happenings in the story are make-believe just as much as the spectators of a tragedy4 ,every one who has enjoyed the blessing of a romantic imagination has been trained upon such tales of wonder40 ,however1 if one's imagination and sense of humor is undeveloped1 and the story is taken seriously rather than humorously1 it loses its value and should not be told4 ,for that reason the story teller or teacher must study his auditors4 ,as ,uncle ,remus would say1 ,i will 8'gin it out to you as it was 'gunt to me40 ,in the mountains of ,tennessee1 'way back in de big woods1 lived onct a man1 in a house all by his self4 ,this man had one room to his house1 and dat room was his kitchen4 ,one

own child was not as fair nor had she as pleasing a disposition as had the stepdaughter ,dobrunka4 ,this displeased the woman so that she made ,dobrunka1 the stepdaughter1 do all the housework1 the cooking and the churning1 whereas1 her own daughter1 ,katinka1 she dressed in fine clothes and let her live in idleness4 ,and more than that--she frequently allowed ,katinka to order ,dobrunka around the house as if she were a servant4 ,dobrunka was always pleasing in countenance and in spirit1 and the work she did made her strong and wholesome1 whereas the idleness in which ,katinka lived made her very disagreeable4 ,one day1 ,katinka came to ,dobrunka1 and said3 8,dobrunka1 ,i want some violets2 go out into the fields or the forest and find me some40 ,dobrunka said1 8,why ,katinka1 that is a strange request4 ,this is not the time for violets2 it is mid-winter40 ,whereupon ,katinka grew very angry and said3 8,go1 do as ,i say and bring me some violets1 or ,i shall beat you to a jelly40 ,with that ,katinka pushed her out of the door and with the help of her mother barred the door behind her4 ,now1 it was mid-winter and snow was upon the ground1 and ,dobrunka started through the

the girl was troubled and he pitied her4 ,march stood up and waved his wand over the fire4 ,the fire and the circle of old men disappeared4 ,march and the girl were standing in a field and the air was fragrant with the breath of early ,spring4 ,march said1 8,daughter look down at your feet1 and gather as many violets as you wish60 ,as ,dobrunka looked1 all about her the field was purple with violets4 ,she stooped down and gathered a great handful of them4 ,when she came back to the house and entered the door1 ,katinka saw her1 and said1 8,yes1 ,i knew you could bring them1 you were just pretending that you could not40 ,and1 the perfume of the violets filled the whole house4 ,some days after ,katinka came again to ,dobrunka1 and said3 8,dobrunka1 ,i want some strawberries1 red and

the stepmother helped her bar the door4 ,dobrunka then turned toward the forest again4 ,snow was still on the ground4 ,she walked along toward the mountain and saw again the fire burning in the distance4 ,soon she was standing where sat the twelve old men in a circle4 ,january heard her footfall on the snow4 ,dobrunka stopped and began crying4 ,january said to her1 8,child1 why did you come back1 we gave you violets and still you are back again80 ,dobrunka said1 8,my mother and sister have driven me from my home1 and they say if ,i do not bring some strawberries they will beat me to a jelly40 ,january said3 8,i am sorry1 but ,i cannot help you4 ,strawberries do not belong to me2 perhaps ,may can help you40 ,may was sitting across the circle4 ,he looked at the girl standing there in trouble and he felt sorry for her4 ,he stood up and waved his wand across the fire4 ,the old men disappeared and the fire4 ,dobrunka found herself standing in a field4 ,it was a perfect day in ,may4 ,above her head the sky was soft and blue2 in every treetop sang the birds4 ,may1 the old man1 stood by her and said3 8,look child at the earth and see what you will find40 ,dobrunka looked1 and all about in great bunches grew strawberries1 peeping like jewels from the green leaves4 ,may said to her1 8,help yourself40 ,and stooping down she gathered her hands full and then ran back to the house4 ,when she entered the door1 her sister seized the berries and ate them all up4 ,a few days after that1 ,katinka came again to ,dobrunka and said3 8,dobrunka1 ,i want some apples1 fresh and ripe2 go to the forest and find me some40 ,dobrunka said1 8,why sister how strangely you talk1--this is not the time for apples2 it is mid-winter40 ,katinka said1 8,lazy girl1 you said you could not find the violets1 but you did4 ,you said there were no strawberries1 but you brought them2 go1 and get me some apples or ,i will beat you to a jelly40 ,whereupon she pushed her from the door and the stepmother helped her to bar the door behind her4 ,dobrunka turned again to the forest4 ,she remembered where the old men lived on the mountainside and was soon standing near the circle4 ,she crept along very quietly4 ,she did not wish to ask the old men to help her again because they already had been so kind to her1 but ,january saw her standing with bowed head and shivering in the cold4 ,he said1 8,child1 child1 why did you come back here8 ,we sent you away the other day with your wants supplied40 ,then ,dobrunka said3 8,my mother and sister have driven me from the house1 they say if ,i do not

,the circle and the old men disappeared4 ,they were standing in a gently rolling field4 ,the air was soft2 the crickets were chirping in the grass and there was in the sky a haze4 ,all around here stood great apple trees1 loaded with fruit1 red and yellow4 ,september said to the girl1 8,help yourself40 ,dobrunka picked up two of the largest apples1 and then fled back to the house4 ,when her sister saw her1 she seized the apples1 ate one and gave the other to her mother4 ,as soon as the apples were eaten1--she came to ,dobronka1 and said1 8,why did you not bring more apples80 ,then ,dobrunka told her about the old men and how they had helped her each time4 8,then10 said ,katinka1 8,i know why you did not bring more1 you ate them up on the way4 ,go back1 and bring me more or ,i will beat you40 ,dobrunka said1 8,please do not send me again in the cold10 and she begged that she might stay in the house4 ,then ,katinka said1 8,i will go myself2 if you could get them ,i can get them from the old men40 ,she left the house and walked through the forest1 and soon came in sight of the fire where sat the twelve old men4 ,when she came near to them1 she said1 8,hello there1 old grey beards1 ,i want some apples and want them quick60 ,january was not accustomed to such words4 ,he stood up and waved his wand over the fire and the fire and the circle were gone4 ,katinka found herself in a great forest4 ,the wind was wailing through the treetops1 the snow was falling and it was bitter cold4 ,katinka did not come back to the house4 ,her mother waited for her and by and by she started out in search of her1 but she1 too1 was lost in the storm that raged1 and never came back4 ,dobrunka waited in the house4 ,the night passed1 and the next day and many days4 ,by and by the snow melted4 ,the birds and flowers of ,spring came1 but still the lost ones did not come back4 ,dobrunka had the house all alone4 ,one day1 the handsomest youth in all the world came by and met

the program will be given over to ,christmas stories1 tales and legends4 ,miss ,florence ,mayer is ,president of the ,league4 ,,story ,,telling ,,and ,,education ,,by ,,george ,,everett ,,partridge1 ,ph4,d4 ,the recent revival of story telling raises many interesting questions1 both practical and theoretical4 ,considered as a part of a larger movement1--an effort to control and utilize the powers concealed within the instincts and unconscious forces of the mind--story telling takes a place in a problem which we can hardly be mistaken in calling one of the most important of our day4 ,we have tended to value1 in education1 only that which we can see and fully understand2 but now1 as we begin seriously to employ arts in the school1 and in the arts to subordinate knowledge to feeling1 to use methods that yield no immediate or practical return1 we demand an increasing faith in the powers of receptivity and inner response of the child1 and we must learn more and more to detect1 and to be satisfied with1 unseen and remote effects4 ,in the art-invasion of the school1 which is one aspect of this movement toward a wider education1 it is difficult to see how1 in the near future1 we can be carried too far4 ,we have been in the habit of emphasizing so much the learning process1 that we are in danger of preventing the free and experimental attitude toward these new interests that seems needed at the present time4 ,we are likely to have too little1 rather than too much1 faith in the play motives1 the sthetic moods1 and the subconscious powers4 ,we shall still want the child to express1 to dramatize1 to be examined upon1 everything he receives3 to externalize every response1 even in the most intimate regions of feeling4 ,in calling the influx of artistic elements and methods into the school one phase of the education of the unconscious and deeper powers1 we have a significant practical view-point1 and are at the same time in touch with new results in science4 ,as a practical ideal1 we must aim to educate all the individual1 not merely thought and voluntary movement4 ,we wish to reach the inherited mechanisms of the organism2 we wish to play upon all the potentialities of feeling and volition1 and to utilize powers latent in the deposits of experience that the child has brought with him to the world4 ,these new results in science give to the well-worn principle that we must educate all the powers of the child a new meaning1 and at least three important advances in psychology1 in recent years1 combine to put solid ground under our feet for a practical sthetics1 and give us principles by which we can cordinate the artistic elements and methods of the school4 ,the first of these advances is the genetic psychology that has arisen and flourished on the basis of ,darwinian principles in biology1 and which has shown the fundamental place of the feelings in education4 ,the second is the new psycho-analysis1 which1 by showing the laws of the symbolic expression of hidden desires and feelings1 has given us a new conception of the relation of art to life4 ,the third new result is in the psychology of valuation1 which has traced out1 at least roughly1 the course of development of the sthetic and ethical states of consciousness4 ,new and incomplete and lacking in cordination as these principles are1 they already yield us practical insights such as we have never been able to obtain from the older philosophies4 ,we may confidently expect to see in time a solid science of the feelings1 which will give us a 8union of art and life0 in a sound stheticism in education3 an stheticism that will help to organize and control the fundamental feelings1 and will overcome the superficial aloofness of our prevailing too formal and too detached art4 ,this will be based upon the discovery that art1 and the need of art1 extend throughout all phases of human life2 and that all true art must work in intimate union with practical affairs4 ,considerations1 such as these1 seem essential for any study of the place of story telling1 or any other art1 in education4 ,,ii ,the story telling 8situation0 is an artistic situation4 ,it falls under the category of the beautiful1 and is subject to all the general principles of sthetics4 ,thus it stands in striking contrast with all formal methods of instruction1 and all routine and unemotional learning4 ,in such artistic situations the child is more fully present than in the formal school work1 for he brings with him his deeper1 unconscious nature4 ,the nature of the story as an educational art is best shown by its place in primitive life4 ,here the function of the story is clearly practical4 ,by it religion1 and all beliefs1 morals1 customs1 and traditions are conveyed to the child4 ,the folk-tales1 the legends1 the fairy-tales1 the epics1 and the myths of the world are not merely fanciful inventions of man2 in a far more profound way than we yet fully understand1 they express man's most urgent needs and desires4 ,primitive man began early to express1 in his stories1 by means of a varied symbolism1 his own hopes and wishes1--sometimes1 thereby1 keeping them alive through hard conditions1 and passing them on to new generations2 sometimes obtaining for them a vicarious satisfaction4 ,these racial stories affect our feelings deeply1 simply because there is continuity in evolution3 because the past still lives in the present3 because these stories are the products of universal needs1 and symbolize or represent them4 ,the story is thus a language of the feelings2 it is a means of communication between the past and the unconscious and undeveloped potentialities of the present4 ,the story is a symbolic language3 its scenes and words are often trivial1 but underneath them runs a deeper meaning4 ,everyone who has told stories must have felt this4 ,we all know that when we tell a good story to a child1 the child is receiving from us indescribable meanings1 which the story itself conveys1 but does not really contain or express1--and this sense of free-masonry of emotional meaning is the greatest charm of the story4 ,one who feels this does not need to point a moral to a tale2 and one who feels the need of the moral does not really tell his story4 ,without knowing something about the nature of the sthetic feelings and moods it is impossible to understand the scope of such an art as story telling4 ,we are likely to think of sthetic feeling as passive1 or as merely 8refining0 in its effects3 or1 if inspiring1 as mainly affecting the creative1 artistic imagination4 ,but this is not the case4 ,all sthetic feelings are intensely active4 ,because the responses are internal1--a play of forces within the organism--we are likely to overlook them altogether4 ,in every sthetic state1 we have good reason to believe1 there is a play of volitions1 an active choosing1 a drama of aroused and satisfied desire--definite1 specific desire1 which1 though it may often be unconscious1 if none the less real4 ,and it is because of this drama of desire that sthetic situations have meaning and value--educational value4 ,we cannot at present know1--and as practical educators we do not need to know--precisely the mechanism or content of every emotional state2 yet we can often see clearly some of the deeper meaning and effect of sthetic valuations4 ,we can see sometimes1 in the child's interest in fairy-tales1 for example1 that the child is playing a part2 that he is accepting for himself misfortunes for the sake of the good that issues from them2 that he is appreciating1 in some half-conscious way1 the nature of a world in which events are not separate and haphazard1 but are connected through far-seeing purposes4 ,the child is not merely pleased at the story2 he reacts to it by taking attitudes3 by accepting1 rejecting1 deciding2 by desiring1 and by receiving satisfaction4 ,in such experiences the child is even acquiring religion1 and the standards and moods of later life are made up of just such feelings as are conveyed so effectively through the medium of the artistic story4 ,the story1 then1 is an important method in education4 ,it is a very effective and natural devise for conveying the ideals and volitions of one generation to the mind of another1 and of cordinating many individuals by means of the common possession of these ideals and purposes4 ,we have yet to learn fully how far we can go by this and other kinds of artistry in teaching2 but that the story should have a serious place in education1 seems wholly certain4 ,just how large a place it should occupy is to be determined1 in part1 by experiment4 ,good story telling may be utilized in so many subjects of the curriculum1 for so many purposes1 and in so many departments of education1 within and without the school2 its artistic possibilities are so great2 the present momentum of interest is so strong1 and so well justified by science1 that we may expect to see a widespread use of the story as a method of education4 ,we shall expect to see story telling become a part of the equipment of all teachers1 and the story literature of the world become more and more accessible1 and better adapted to the child4 ,and it is likely that the professional story teller will again flourish among us1 as in the days before books and schools robbed him of his art4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ,story ,tellers' ,league1 of ,nashville1 ,tenn41 issues an attractive ,year ,book for the current year4 ,among the topics announced for the year

breathlessly for an hour and then ask for another story1 even though they know the time is up4 ,after their attention has once been gained1 children will listen to stories as long as the story teller

,new ,york4 ,once there were two brothers who lived with their mother in a large house on a farm4 ,their father was dead4 ,the older brother was clever and selfish2 but the younger was kind and gentle4 ,the older brother did not like the younger because he was honest1 and never could get the best of a bargain2 so one day he said to him3 8,you must go away4 ,i cannot support you any longer40 ,so the younger brother packed all his belongings1 and went to bid his mother good-bye4 ,when she heard what the older brother had done1 she said3 8,i will go with you1 my son4 ,i will not live here any longer with so hard-hearted a man as your brother40 ,the next morning the mother and the younger brother started out together4 ,toward night they came to a hut at the foot of a hill4 ,it was empty except for an axe1 which stood behind the door4 ,but they managed to get their supper1 and stayed in the hut all night4 ,in the morning they saw that on the side of the hill near the hut was a great forest4 ,the son took the axe1 and went up on the hill side and chopped enough wood for a load to carry to the town on the other side of the hill4 ,he easily sold it1 and with a happy heart brought back food and some clothing to make them both comfortable4 8,now1 mother10 he said1 8,i can earn enough to keep us both1 and we shall be happy here together40 ,day after day he went out and cut the wood1 and at night carried it to the village and sold it2 and they always had plenty to eat and what they needed to make them happy and comfortable4 ,one day the boy went further up the hill than he had ever gone before in search of better timber4 ,as he climbed up the steep hillside1 he suddenly came upon a lion carved from stone4 8,o60 thought the boy1 8this must be the guardian deity of this mountain4 ,i will make him some offering tomorrow40 ,that night he bought two candles1 and carried them to the lion4 ,he lighted them and put one on each side of the lion1 praying that his own good fortune might continue4 ,as he stood there1 suddenly the lion opened his great stone mouth1 and said3 8,what are you doing here80 ,the boy told him all the story of his hard-hearted brother1 and how he and his mother had left home1 and were living in the hut at the foot of the hill4 ,when he had heard all of the story1 the lion said3 8,if you will bring a bucket here tomorrow1 and put it under my mouth1 ,i will fill it with gold for you40 ,the next day the boy brought the bucket and put it under the lion's mouth4 8,you must be very careful to tell me when it is nearly full10 said the lion1 8for if even one piece of gold should fall to the ground1 great trouble would be in store for you40 ,the boy was very careful to do exactly as the lion told him1 and soon he was on his way home to his mother with a bucketful of gold4 ,they were so rich now that they bought a great1 beautiful farm1 and went there to live4 ,everything the boy undertook seemed to prosper4 ,he worked hard1 and grew strong2 and before many years had passed he was old enough to marry1 and bring a bride to the home4 ,but the mother still lived with them1 and they were all very contented and happy4 ,at last the hard-hearted brother heard of their prosperity4 ,he too had married1 and had a little son4 ,so he took his wife and the little boy1 and went to pay his younger brother a visit4 ,it was not long before he had heard the whole story of their good fortune1 and how the lion had given them all the gold4 8,i will try that1 too10 he said4 ,so he took his wife and child and went to the very same hut his brother had lived in1 and there they passed the night4 ,the very next morning he started out with a bucket to visit the ,stone ,lion4 ,when he had told the lion his errand1 the lion said3 8,i will do that for you1 but you must be very careful to tell me when the bucket is nearly full2 for even if one little piece of gold touches the ground1 great misery will surely fall upon you40 ,now the elder brother was so greedy that he kept shaking the bucket to get the gold pieces closer together4 ,and when the bucket was nearly full he did not tell the lion1 as the younger brother had done1 for he wanted all he could get4 ,suddenly one of the gold pieces fell upon the ground4 8,o10 cried the lion1 8a big piece of gold is stuck in my throat4 ,put your hand in and get it out4 ,it is the largest piece of all40 ,the greedy man thrust his hand at once into the lion's mouth--and the lion snapped his jaws together4 ,and there the man stayed1 for the ,lion would not let him go4 ,and the gold in the bucket turned into earth and stones4 ,when night came1 and the husband did not come home1 the wife became anxious1 and went out to search for him4 ,at last she found him1 with his arm held fast in the lion's mouth4 ,he was tired1 cold and hungry4 ,she comforted him as best she could1 and brought him some food4 ,every day now the wife must go with food for her husband4 ,but there came a day when all the money was gone1 and the baby was sick1 and the poor woman herself was too ill to work4 ,she went to her husband and said3 8,there is no more food for you1 nor for us4 ,we shall all have to die4 ,o6 if we had only not tried to get the gold40 ,the lion was listening to all that was said1 and he was so pleased at their misfortune that he began laughing at them4 ,and as he laughed1 he opened his mouth1 and the greedy man quickly drew out his hand1 before the lion had a chance to close his jaws again6 ,they were glad enough to get away from the place where they had had such ill luck1 and so they went to the brother's house once more4 ,the brother was sorry for them1 and gave them enough money to buy a small place1 and there the hard-hearted brother took his family and lived4 ,the younger brother and his wife and his mother lived very happily in their beautiful home1 but they always remembered the ,stone ,lion on the hillside1 who gave them their good fortune4 ,,the

the ,missionaries in this movement in touch with one another seems most desirable1 if not absolutely necessary4 ,many writers have voiced many opinions as to the benefits to be derived from the exercise of the ,art of ,story telling1 but there is one which ,i have never seen in black and white1 about which ,i feel impelled to write4 ,it is the ,psycho-,therapeutic value of ,story telling4 ,pain is a real thing1 and will hold us in his clutches and claim all our attention if allowed to do so4 ,sorrow is absorbing1 and will bow our heads and break our spirits if unhindered4 ,upon what1 then1 may we concentrate our attention1 that pain may grow weary of pressing his claim8 ,with what may we so absorb our minds that sorrow will fade away8 ,one of the fundamental principles of ,story telling is that the oral interpreter of ,literature1 must so vividly see the pictures described in the story1 that he will cause his hearers to feel that they1 too1 see4 ,he must feel the impulses and emotions of the characters in the story so truly that the hearts of his hearers will thrill with the same feeling4 ,since this is true1 that the mind must be absorbed in the distant scenes of ,story ,land1 pain in due course of time must grow tired of urging his claim and will ultimately depart4 ,the emotions dominant in stories which we tell are altruistic for the most part4 ,we prefer to dwell upon themes in which evil is overcome by good2 those in which sorrow flees away and joy comes with the morning4 ,isn't it true that the person who1 day after day1 creates these altruistic emotions in the hearts of his hearers will find his sorrow1 deep-seated though it may be1 growing dimmer day by day as he brightens the lives of his hearers8 ,there are many cases which ,i could give you to prove my point4 ,one1 of a little child with spinal trouble1 who was treated by a great surgeon4 ,he would call upon her two or three days out of the week and each time tell her a story4 ,he required her1 meanwhile1 to make up similar stories4 ,for instance1 he would tell her the story of 8,little ,green ,cap40 ,then he would say1 8,now1 by ,tuesday ,i want you to have a story ready for me4 ,it must be about a poor little girl1 a princess and a magic ring40 ,so absorbed did the child become in such work that the pain in the poor little back grew less and less insistent until she ceased to be an invalid and was able to attend school4 ,she was one of the happiest children ,i ever knew4 ,she said she didn't mind the pain any more1 she had such lovely things to think about4 ,another was the case of a young woman upon whom sorrow laid a heavy hand4 ,prostrated by grief1 she lay for several days in a darkened room4 ,then rousing herself she went to a hospital and secured permission from the superintendent to visit daily the friendless patients who seemed lonely4 ,for months she reported daily to the superintendent1 was given directions as to which patients to visit1 and for three hours she would go from one to the other telling humorous stories4 ,the morning hours she spent hunting for artistic1 mirth-provoking stories and her afternoons in bringing smiles to sad faces4 ,the result was inevitable4 ,people everywhere welcomed her as a ray of sunshine4 ,one more case--that of a young woman who1 while making a brave struggle to recover from one serious operation1 suddenly found herself facing another even more serious4 ,with nerves racked by persistent pain1 courage well nigh gone1 pursued by that dread foe insomnia1 she turned to her one accomplishment1 ,story telling4 ,though able to sit up but a few hours at a time1 she held large audiences in many cities two or three times a week1 until she once more went under the knife4 ,then within two months she was on the platform again1 bringing herself back to health by compelling her mind to dwell in ,storyland4 ,i knew all the particulars of this case1 the physical torture she endured for two years1 the struggle she made to live1 and knowing what ,i do1 forces me to believe that if ,story telling did not save her life1 it certainly saved her reason4 ,it is a law of life that the only thing which we may always keep1 is the thing we give4 ,if then1 the prime function of ,story telling is the giving of ,joy1 then ,joy is the thing which the ,story teller may have4 ,to those who 8travail and are heavy laden0 ,i commend the ,art of ,story telling4 ,,story ,,telling ,,for ,,mothers ,interesting accounts were recently published in the ,herald1 ,sun and other ,new ,york papers of ,miss ,georgene ,faulkner's story telling for mothers and children at the ,waldorf-,astoria1 ,new ,york and ,st4 ,mary's ,parish ,house1 ,brooklyn4 ,the story telling at the ,waldorf-,astoria was given under the auspices of ,mrs4 ,william ,rogers ,chapman1 ,president of the ,rubenstein ,musical ,club1 to an audience of fourteen hundred1 of which about seven hundred were children4 ,miss ,faulkner1 in ,mother ,goose attire1 told the children ,mother ,goose stories1 assisted by singers who presented ballads to accompany the stories4 ,much to the amusement of the children1 ,miss ,faulkner would sometimes change the text of the ,mother ,goose rhymes1 and the children were not backward about crying out corrections of these errors4 ,miss ,faulkner would say3 8,jack and ,jill went up the hill1 ,like a dutiful son and daughter2 ,now ,jack is sick1 and ,jill is ill1 ,they did not boil the water40 ,this would be greeted by a chorus of1 8,no1 ,no1 that isn't the way it goes60 and other exclamations4 ,later1 ,miss ,faulkner1 in ,german costume1 told the fairy story of 8,hansel and ,gretel40 ,the 8,gingerbread ,man10 otherwise known as 8,johnny ,cake0 and 8,the ,wee ,bunnock10 gave more pleasure to the children than any other story1 perhaps because it was accompanied by ,gingerbread ,men in neat boxes1 which were given to the children as souvenirs of the occasion4 ,through the courtesy of ,mrs4 ,chapman and with the assistance of ,mrs4 ,arthur ,elliot ,fish1 one hundred crippled children1 from the ,industrial ,school for ,crippled ,children1 participated in the delights of the 8,mother ,goose0 matinee4 ,the story telling at ,st4 ,mary's ,parish ,house1 was arranged primarily for mothers1 under the auspices of ,miss ,mabel ,mc,kinney1 ,superintendent of the ,kindergartens in the ,borough of ,brooklyn4 8,what kind of a story10 said ,miss ,faulkner1 8should the mother tell to her children8 ,any good interesting story will lend itself to the spoken narrative4 ,many mothers are so careless about what their children read --thinking that almost any book which they get from the library will answer the need4 ,this is a great mistake4 ,if the mother will only take care to direct the young mind into the right channels at the impressionable period she would lay a firm foundation on which to build the future life of the child4 ,not only are many books from ,public ,libraries pernicious1 but from the ,sunday-,school ,libraries as well4 ,many mothers make a practice of filling the minds of their little children with a hodge-podge of information1 superstition1 fear and other ideas which have had a bad effect upon the children's mind4 ,they think it makes little difference what they put into the child's thought so long as it is a story4 ,in reality it makes all the difference in the world4 8,with the great storehouse of classical and folk-lore stories within easy reach2 stories of brave deeds well done2 of self-sacrifice2 of love and duty and other high ideals1 the mind of the child is easily guided into channels of right thinking1 and if mothers only realized it more fully1 it is in their power through the medium of these stories to fill the little mind with ideals1 which will have a most important bearing through life in the development of character4 ,through the simple art of story telling the mother possesses the key to the hidden nature of the child if she could only be made to appreciate and understand the value of the story influence40 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ,story ,tellers' ,league at the ,alabama ,girls' ,technical ,institute1 ,montevallo1 is divided into chapters3 ,the ,poe ,chapter2 the ,uncle ,remus ,chapter1 and the ,wyche ,chapter4 ,the ,poe ,chapter deals with the ,edgar ,allen ,poe stories1 ,kipling1 ,hawthorne1 and ,irving1 while the ,uncle

has a combined membership of one hundred and twenty-five1 making it one of the strongest organizations in the school4 ,one ,chapter of the ,league devotes time to the playing of folk games at the recreation hour1 in the afternoon1 on the lawn4 ,,the ,,beowulf ,,club ,,of ,,west ,,virginia ,,university ,,by ,,john ,,harrington ,,cox ,the above-named organization is the story telling club of the ,university4 ,its formation grew out of the enthusiasm of four young women who were studying the great ,anglo-,saxon epic1 of course1 in the original4 ,their eagerness to master the famous tale1 to be able to retell it with at least somewhat of its original vigor1 picturesqueness1 and fascination1 was worthy of a permanent record4 ,their zeal was to make the story something more than a mere name4 ,they thought that this priceless bit of literary heritage should be gotten off the printed page and down into the hearts of people far and wide throughout our ,state4 ,as the idea developed its possibilities began to be more fully realized4 ,here was an opportunity of enlisting the sympathies of some of the brightest young men and young women of the ,university1 in the great stories of the world2 stories of all ages and all countries2 prose and verse1 ranging from the fairy tale to the ,iliad4 ,and1 moreover1 it was thought that the interest would not be a passing one1 but permanent4 ,the necessity of mastering the outlines of a story1 the practice in recreating it by memory and imagination1 the vivifying of it through the emotions and the personality of the teller1 was believed to furnish an exercise in many ways more pleasurable and profitable than those obtained in the usual recitation4 ,the result more than fulfilled all expectations4 ,the club was formed on the ,twenty-ninth of ,february1 ,nineteen hundred and eight4 ,since that time it has not missed a single meeting4 ,the membership averages about twelve from year to year4 ,most of these on leaving the ,university become teachers and carry the work into their schools1 teachers' institutes1 and public entertainments4 ,several times the club has been invited to give a public performance4 ,invitations to its meetings are eagerly welcomed and the young people who tell the stories never lack for an appreciative audience4 99 99 99 99 99 ,detroit1 ,michigan1 has recently organized a ,story ,tellers'

,,tellers' ,,league 8,i have just read an article in the ,march number of ,the ,world's ,work1 on the ,story ,tellers' ,league movement1 have heard of the ,story ,tellers' ,league1 or read a chapter in ,mr4 ,wyche's book1 #8,some ,good ,stories and ,how to ,tell ,them1' on the ,story ,tellers' ,league1 and should like to organize such a league in my community4 ,how shall ,i go about it80 ,this is a question that comes almost every day to some officer of the ,story ,tellers' ,league4 ,the method of procedure in organizing a ,story ,tellers' ,league is a very simple one4 ,the first step is to call a meeting of as many prospective members as can be gotten together4 ,a chairman and secretary pro tem should then be elected and the meeting called to order4 ,the organizer should then state the purpose of the meeting1 ask for the enrollment of the names and addresses of those who wish to join and have these recorded by the secretary4 ,the next step is the nomination and election of permanent officers1 usually a ,president1 ,first ,vice-,president1 ,second ,vice-,president1 ,recording ,secretary1 ,corresponding ,secretary and ,treasurer4 ,upon the election of these officers1 the chairman and secretary pro tem resign in favor of the elected officers1 and the ,league is then duly organized for business4 ,the adoption of the ,constitution and ,by-,laws is next in order4 ,the ,constitution deals with the name1 object1 membership1 officers1 etc41 of the ,league2 while the ,by-,laws provide for the dates of meetings1 dues1 time and mode of the election of officers1 and such other rules and regulations for the conduct of the ,league as may be deemed desirable4 ,an ,executive ,committee may then be appointed to look after the general business of the ,league1 such as the arrangement of programmes at the meetings2 the planning of entertainments and special exercises1 and various other matters of this nature4 ,the officers of the ,league are usually ex officio members of the ,executive ,committee4 ,the ,league when organized should be reported to the ,president of the ,national ,story ,tellers' ,league1 with the name and address of its ,president and ,secretary1 so that it may be enrolled with similar ,leagues throughout the ,united ,states4 ,some leagues issue ,year-books which may be had upon application to the ,secretary4 ,the ,national ,league will shortly

and most successful ,leagues4 ,its membership numbers something like one hundred people1 and it has created a great deal of interest in the city among various classes of teachers and educators as well as lovers of literature4 ,,editorial ,in entering the arena of ,journalism ,,the ,,storytellers' ,,magazine invites the support of all who love literature and youth4 ,there are many magazines today covering almost every field of activity1 but not one devoted to the art of story telling4 ,while it is true that most of the magazines publish stories1 few of them deal with the educational aspect of these stories--their most important relation4 ,story telling in the schools2 at the home2 on the playground2 in the ,sunday schools2 the children's library rooms of the ,public ,library1 and among social organizations has become so popular and aroused such widespread interest throughout the land that some medium of communication which will represent and unify these interests--has become almost a necessity4 ,,the ,,storytellers' ,,magazine is founded upon a definite purpose4 ,it enters the field in the hope that it will merit the support of a large number of general readers as well as teachers1 parents and all who are interested in the uplifting of the rising generation4 ,it goes forth as a missionary to acquaint its audience as far as it can with the vital principles that underlie the whole movement of story telling4 ,it1 therefore1 invites the co-operation of all who believe in the story telling idea1 in the hope that great good may come through such a union of interests4 ,the ,editor of the ,,magazine has devoted many years to the work of story telling1 and he earnestly hopes that through the columns of the ,,magazine greater opportunity may be afforded for direction and organization1 and thus make more permanent the whole story telling movement4 ,there is a growing belief that in arranging the curriculum of studies for the young the rights and interests of the child have received but scant consideration4 ,mere drudgery has been translated to mean development while hard labor with little thought to the tendencies and attributes of the individual child has been accepted as education4 ,,the ,,storytellers' ,,magazine offers itself as a champion of the rights of the child in education1 and it hopes with the co-operation of those who know and believe in the efficacy of the story as a pleasing and effective instrument of education to battle bravely for the rights and liberties of the child1 who has been aptly termed 8the last serf of civilization40 99 99 99 99 99 ,elsewhere in this issue will be found an 8,,announcement0 setting forth in some detail the aims and ideals of the ,,storytellers' ,,magazine4 ,the chief aim of this magazine is to serve the great cause of story telling in a manner that will best satisfy the needs of the greatest number of those interested in the movement4 ,how shall this be accomplished8 ,the answer to this question is ,co-operation4 ,the first issue of a magazine is something of an experiment4 ,its make-up is open to criticism and discussion4 ,its friends can do it no greater service than to disclose its shortcomings and point out the road to improvement4 ,criticism is usually divided into two schools1 one constructive1 the other destructive2 or better1 let us say into friendly or unfriendly criticism4 ,while we shall endeavor to turn all unfriendly comment into constructive channels1 we shall hope far more to profit by the sympathetic assistance and helpful advice of friends and well-wishers4 ,the latch string is out to all1 but a double welcome is assured to those who 8,,lend ,a ,,hand40 ,,the ,,mother--,,the ,,child--,,the ,,story ,extract from a ,report of ,committee on ,story ,telling to the ,montessori ,class1 ,university of ,virginia ,summer ,school ,since all races in all epochs have used oral stories both as a means of education and entertainment1 and since much of the culture and civilization that our ancestors have bequeathed to us has come down to us in the form of story literature1 and since the children of all races and in all times have said1 8,tell me a story10 we believe it is fundamental in the child's life and education4 ,we believe that the mother1 who instinctively hums lullabys and sings ,mother ,goose ,rhymes to the child is cultivating the child's sense of rhythm1 touching its feelings1 and speaking to it through vocal language--voice modulation--which precedes verbal language2 that the mother who sings 8,hush you bybaby in the tree tops1 ,when the wind blows the cradle will rock10 etc41 and other ,mother ,goose jingles1 has already begun her story telling4 ,that the story1 the most universally used medium for conveying truth and especially the told story that comes through the sensuous beauty of speech1 should be continued throughout the child's education4 ,we believe that when a child attributes life to its doll1 makes up strange and unreal stories1 that it does so in obedience to a deep psychic necessity1--that of developing the imagination1 and that as a child climbs a tree or ladder and in doing so develops his body and bodily senses1 so he must have for the development of his imagination the clear1 bold1 mental picture whether it be in fairy and folk stories or the high daring of some noble hero in epic literature or history4 ,we believe that the development of the imagination should go hand in hand with the sense training1 modified by local1 ethnic1 and individual needs1 and that children as well as adults must have heroes to admire and worship and ideals to inspire2 that the idea of ,god can be represented only through the imagination and that to deny the child stories of gods and supernatural beings would be to bring him up without religious training4 ,that the story that delights the child has psycho-therapeutic value and whether it be fact or fiction it is true in a higher sense1 ministering to the spiritual needs of the child1 and therefore valuable in education4 ,we believe that it is the most inalienable right of all children to hear stories told from the great story books of the world2 that wise selections of stories should be made not only from the literature and history of ,europe and ,america1 but from ,japan1 ,china1 ,russia1 and ,india1 so that we may develop in the young people a feeling of a world brotherhood4 ,,the ,,great ,,epics ,the following suggestive outline of a 8,,story ,,hour ,,cycle10 arranged by the ,carnegie ,library of ,pittsburgh1 is re-published as an excellent example of systematic classification4 ,such study applied to any of the great epics will not only discover to the story teller a great treasure house of stories1 but will

,price1 #a4be net4 ,this is the fifth book that has appeared on story telling in the past half a dozen years4 ,the authors have presented the psychological foundation and the sthetic value of story telling in a most elaborate and convincing way4 ,it is the first book that has been written by a psychologist1 on the subject of story telling1 and ,dr4 ,partridge's handling of the delicate1 subtle1 psychic forces that enter into literature and story telling is masterful2 while ,mrs4 ,partridge1 with her practical experience as a story teller1 contributes as much to the art as applied and exemplified in actual work of facing an audience of young people4 ,the study of the child on one hand and its fundamental needs1 and the survey and analysis of sources from which we can draw material1--myth1 fable1 folklore1 epic1 and history on the other1 is of immense value to all story tellers and all who teach young people even up to college entrance4 ,part ,,ii of the book contains a dozen retold stories that have been put into shape by the oral telling1 and are valuable both because of the form and their intrinsic worth4 ,the book contains a number of illustrations1 which add to its attractiveness1 along with a bibliography and suggestions for reading4 ,we cannot praise the book too highly4 ,it is an inspiring book to read and a permanent contribution to the literature of

interest story tellers mainly because of its extensive analysis and discussion of the child in the educational relation4 8,to achieve results in literature10 it is stated1 8the children must have something more than a good story3 they must have a good story teller--one with quick sympathies and an intuitive knowledge of her group2 one who loves the old stories1 who feels the pulse of humanity throbbing through them all2 whose voice is clear1 flexible1 interpretative2 whose language is simple1 direct1 pictorial2 who enters into a dramatic situation2 who has a keen sense of humor1 who is willing to sow the seed and let it develop in its own good time40 8,the ,normal ,child0 is a most helpful1 illuminating1 and instructive book4 ,,the ,,children',s ,,reading4 ,by ,frances ,jenkins ,olcott4 ,price1 #a4be net4 ,houghton ,mifflin ,co41 ,boston4 ,miss ,olcott has given us a valuable book on children's readings4 ,she speaks as an authority from her many years' experience as a librarian2 therein is the chief value of her book4 ,she knows the names and authors of many of the best books for young people1 and gives many valuable lists of books4 ,the very fact that she has had to deal with so many books from without as a librarian1 has probably prevented her knowing so well the inside of the book1--seeing and living with its imagery1 communing with its spirit and breathing its atmosphere until it gives up its deepest meaning4 ,any treatment of a story that helps one to visualize1 to re-create1 to breathe its atmosphere and live its spirit1 ought to be valuable2 the letter killeth1 the spirit giveth life4 ,however1 her quotations from authors who have done that are many and valuable4 ,the one on ,homer's ,iliad1 page #ajc1 is especially good2 but she barely mentions the ,odyssey1 the more interesting story to the young people4 ,the book is conservative rather than original and creative4 ,,aldine ,,first ,,language ,,book4 ,for ,grades ,three and ,four4

,these two books1 the ,manual and the ,pupil's book accompanying it1 the authors tell us have grown out of many years' experiment in teaching 8language0 so called4 ,the work which the child is called upon to accomplish is1 throughout the entire book1 based on fables1 myths1 legends1 stories of all kind1 rhymes and poems1 the delight of childhood1 all of which are fully within the range of the child's understanding and appreciation4 ,the varieties of ways in which these materials are presented arouses the keen interest of the children1 stimulates their thought1 and quickens their whole mental life4 ,they discuss freely1 they dramatize1 they reproduce orally and in writing1 the work over into new forms1 they live and love the contents of stories and poems4 ,no one can read this pupil's book without becoming impressed with the tremendous value of story telling as a direct instrument of education4 ,the introduction of a comprehensive 8,teacher's ,manual0 into the class-room1 explaining the work to the teacher step by step1 seems to be a new and most serviceable idea4 ,,stories ,,of ,,long ,,ago ,,in ,,the ,,philippines4 ,by ,dudley ,odell ,mc,govney1 ,a4,m4 ,price forty

stories1 to sit on the grass1 to relax1 rest and commune with those spiritual forces that lie dormant in literature and in nature until touched by living and creative personalities4 ,we were a group of teachers attending the ,summer ,school of the ,south at the ,university of ,tennessee4 ,twice a week these meetings were held with an informal program of stories and the singing of familiar national melodies4 ,at the close of that session of the school1 numbering over two thousand teachers1 a formal organization was made which afterward became the ,national ,story ,tellers' ,league4 ,that was ,july1 #aijc1 and marked the beginning of the ,story ,tellers' ,league movement in ,america4 ,since that time the movement has grown until many local leagues have sprung up all over the ,united ,states4 ,the purpose of the whole movement in a word is the told story1 oral literature1 with the young people always in view4 ,,story ,,tellers' ,,leagues ,,the ,,storytellers' ,,magazine publishes for the convenience of those interested in the story telling movement a finding list of ,story ,tellers' ,leagues throughout the ,united ,states4 ,correspondence is invited in order to

to a good cause4 ,when the virtuous ,cinderella's fortunes were at a low ebb the waving of the fairy wand promptly summoned to her aid a host of cheerful attendants who worked so industriously in her behalf that she immediately became a princess and lived happily ever after4 ,the ,storytellers' ,magazine1 like the good fairy is interested in the welfare of the ,children1 and1 also like the good fairy1 is waving its wand to summon a host of workers to its side4 ,at this moment it is waving its wand directly at you4 ,in ,fairyland1 as you may have noticed1 the cheerful little fairy workers respond immediately to the waving of the wand1 and work most industriously without other remuneration than the thought of a brave deed well done4 ,in ,storyland1 however1 the case is quite different4 ,besides the consciousness of duty well performed the workers receive a material compensation for their services4 ,they not only have the honor of winning subscribers and adherents to the story tellers' cause1 but the satisfaction of a substantial recognition besides4 ,what is your reply8 ,will you come and help us--for a consideration8 ,we need an army of workers1 a veritable fairy host who will make ,the ,storytellers' ,magazine a welcomed guest in every corner of the land4 ,if you will join forces with us in building up a great subscription list you will aid in making ,the ,storytellers' ,magazine a great ,magazine4 ,if you will but wave your wand we promise to wave ours4 ,every one is interested in the story telling idea1 and when you show that for the modest sum of eight and three-quarter cents each month one may not only be kept in close touch with this great movement1 but enjoy a liberal education in the delightful stories and other illustrative literature which appear in the columns of the ,magazine1 you will be sure to find not only a cordial welcome1 but a subscriber as well4 ,send us at once your name and address1 and let us know what territory you will become responsible for1 and we will send you the necessary instructions about getting subscribers4 ,do not attempt at first to cover too much territory4 ,it is far better to cover a small territory thoroughly than a large area half heartedly4 ,we have in preparation a list of premiums and club combinations which can be offered in connection with the ,magazine4 ,when ready1 this list
