LITERATURE FOB THE CHILD
(Written by Miss Moffat for the
Parent Teacher Association)
(Continued from page 3.)
tion and romance, of the time when
the races were in their childhood, a
time of Impossible deeds when the
world was in its infancy?
So, let the years of strictly pri
mary literature be full of fairy lore,
with plenty of good jioetry, not di
luted and revised, but given whole.
Ho will'absorb a lot of inspi ration
and love of the beautiful even if he
does not understand all the words,
nor does not remember. Ilis ap
preciation will bo keener for it.
Make him familiar with the bost, foi
they are the standards of his future
Judgment. Then, I tliink that the
mind of the developing boy or girl
should be filled with epic tales, her<
stories, Old Testament stories, and
the old Greek, Roman and No rat
myths. Get them to him early for
they are stories that belong to
i youth. They can never mean to
I him later what they mean when
| his ideals are just forming.
First, you may ask why lie shoulc
study Greek and Itoman myths. Tc
the practical minded may com© the
question "What's the use?'' Per
haps none if its a matter of dol
lars and cents, but the Greek and
Roman myths were the religion
that moulded the minds and char
acters of two nations that have
never been surpassed in literature
art and the making of laws. Tc
understand history aright we neec
to understand the influence thai
made the men who made history
Again English literature is li 11 et1
with thousands of allusions an<!

Roman mythology, and understooi
•j wy bv a knowledge of it. Wher
• lie pupil comes to high school ag<
he is too old to accept them anc
; appreciate their significance am
itco often scoffs and says "What's
the good of that stuff?" And th<
Xorse myths? Why they were th<
j Mood and brawn of the race thai
has produced the sturdy strength o
the Anglo Saxon people, of whon
i we, with our literary and mora
I heritage are tho direct decendants
What nation could have prtfducet
the many-sided Shakespeare with
out his Teutonic inheritance?
What child is not richer for liav
ign sat at a rollicking banquet o
•.lie gods on Asgard, and for havinj
heard the thunder of old Vulcans'
] forge as he wrought tho weapon
f:-r the gods?
To understand his own. characte
land his own literature, then, li
must know from what they sprang.
Then I'd advise tlie epic. Th
epic is the oldest literature o
any nation. It grows right out o
the heart and life of the people. 1
is in process of construction fo
generations, handed down by bar
and minstrel, changed and adde
to as the people progresses and i
tinally put in written form. It i
always based on some historic fact
It always has some elemental pas
sio>j such as, love, ha fee, jealousy o
| love of war for its theme. It trul;
j represents the hero type of th1
i race, it is the younger child that bea
I appreciates it and he has a right ti
know it. lie should know tin
I Anglo-Saxon epic, Beowulf. Fron
it he learns the Teutonic love o
feasting, love of war and liis love o
nature in her somber moods. Amon;
otiier epic heroes that he shouli
j know are Ulysses, Arthur, Roland
Siegfried, and with it the Germai
story of the Nibelungs, and Robii
Hood, lu these stories we fin*
i rude strength, humor, beauty an<
justice, if not pity. The Odysse;
is the perfect story of adventure
but it must couk to the youn;
child who can be thrilled by its im
possible deeds. The older child, 01
the other hand, is apt to come wit!

Kobin Hood is not a true epic, bi
J it is in the same class, for tin
reason that tho ballads grew ou
of the hearts of the people. Ever]

It was the scop and gleeman, the

Ages sang these folk tales often t<
chords on a crude harp. It was
these same men who moulded th<
life and minds of the Middle Ages
and who hastened the birth of th<
Rennaissance. It is worth while tc
give the boys and girls the benefii
of. their influence. Right here 1
might say a word in favor of the
folk dances, for out of tho same

dancing la being taught all over the
country as a means of helping the
child live the traditions and Ideals
of otliQr times and people.
l>ast but not least I think that a
child should be taught the Old Tes
tament stories, not as Tellglon but
j as literature. There are versions of
j t iu-se stories old as the world that
' are as Interesting as any hero
' stories ever written. So, in sum
j mnry encourage the boy and girl to
get all tho thrills and Ideals that
ho can out of history and litera
ture; for life is bound to become a
I rather practical, prosaic experience
I for tho one who "girds his loins"
j lor the battle with the world for
existence. Idealism Is repressed In
modern life. To mo the picture lu
oho of the recent magazines was a j
pitiful comment on the modern j
child. In this picture was a I
young product of twentieth century 1
civilization, measuring up mathemati.
rally tho distance around Santa's
waist line, and comparing it mental
ly with the size of the chimney, and .
sating "It can't be done."
The child who early learns to
love to read is perhaps acquiring
one characteristic that will tend
toward a closer home spirit so thatj
the boy of this generation will not
be the family man of the next, to
be described as the little girl de
scribed her father, when- she said,
"father is the man who stays here
Srndays."
unaer our cuiui
world might not have had a Shakes
peare, at least, so great a one;
for we are told that his education,
at the many sidedness of which we
marvel, was acquired largely
airund his home fireside, listening
to folk tales, fairy lore and legends.
We might not have had bo wonderful
a Lincoln had not his mind been
stored with a wealth of material
he.'.rd and read In his own home,
and worked over by him later for
his own use.
j Finally when a child has been
taught the love of good books, you
have given him a solace for lonllnesa
and sorrow, for "He who has a
book has a friend."
A list of books for children's read
