By this means the story has been reconstructed. =Portions
over which the children love to linger are brought out to the fullest
extent.= Their words and forms of language, within the limits of
grammatical usage, =are followed scrupulously=. =Less than seven hundred
and fifty words=, all of the commonest use among children, are used in
the entire series.
Without attempting to formulate any principles or a philosophy of
children's interests, the author has simply sought =to draw the material
from the child itself=.
These stories, in typewritten and mimeograph form, were used in the
schools of Santa Rosa, Cal., for many months, and in their present form
are the product of much revision.
"_It may be safely said that in these stories there is a drawing power
for the child that is assurance that a resonant chord in the child
nature has been struck._"--FREDERICK BURK, Clark Univ.
