In the Child's World - Morning Talks and Stories for Kindergartens, Primary Schools and Homes #226765

The preparation of these talks and stories was first undertaken for the kindergartens of Boston and vicinty.<br><br>With the talks especially, great freedom in the use of the material offered was always urged as essential to good results, and such freedom is urged more than ever, in submitting the collection to a wider circle of teachers and children.<br><br>The subjects follow, somewhat, the course of the kindergarten year, but selection must be exercised, since there is often under one subject more than enough for two week's work with the children.<br><br>The book is in no wise intended as a one-year programme.<br><br>Accuracy of fact has been assiduously sought, and in view of the pains taken, and the authorities consulted, is believed to have been obtained. Should errors be found, however, notice of them would be gratefully received.<br><br>Reading, more or less closely related to the subject, has been suggested in the hope that the lists will prove a convenience to the teacher and tempt her to avail herself of the refreshment and inspiration which poet, philosopher, scientist and story-teller are ready to give.<br><br>While most of the stories in the book are for children of the kindergarten age, whether at home, in, the kindergarten, or in the lower grades of the primary schools, a few stories are intended expressly for older children.
