Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fables and Rhymes AEsop and Mother Goose The nineteenth century has been a period of wonderful changes. Discoveries and inventions of vast importance have followed each other in rapid succession. Many things which a few years ago were enjoyed exclusively by the rich, are to-day common among the poor; but from none of the improved conditions of life is it possible for us to secure greater benefit than from the present accessibility of good books. In the fields of literature, once reserved for only a favored few, all men to-day meet on nearly the same plane and may share, at least in part, its treasures. Next to the alphabet, the Invention of greatest value is that of printing. Certainly a large part of what is called an education - even the knowledge of facts, which is often mistaken for real education - is gained directly from books. In educating our children, It is then of the first importance to teach them to read, and with the opportunities for obtaining the best in literature constantly increasing we look to the primary school, to which is entrusted the entire education of so large a percentage of all of our children, to teach them not only to read, but to read easily, so that they will like to read, and thus form a habit of reading. The wise teacher will not be led astray by the example of a few superficial teachers, who, through a desire to find a short cut to culture, are gaining the semblance rather than the substance by at once plunging the young pupil, without previous preparation, into the midst of literature. She will content herself for a time with teaching her pupils the art of reading, with giving them the ability to find out what the printed word says, and encouraging them to discover for themselves the thought concealed therein. If she succeeds in accomplishing this, she has at least placed in the pupil's hands a key to the storehouse of knowledge. But while learning to read is the first and most important step In the direction of an education, and while the habit of reading is perhaps singly the best educational habit, a taste for good reading is certainly an acquisition the value of which can hardly be over estimated.

Download or read book The Tar Baby written by Joel Chandler Harris and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tar-Baby: And Other Rhymes of Uncle Remus With the exception of the tar-baby story and one 0th: all the folk-lore stories herein embodied are new, having come into my hands from various sources during the past ten years. The tar-baby story has been thrown into a rhymed form for the purpose of presenting and preserving what seems to be the genuine version. Those who care for the narratives themselves will no doubt overlook the somewhat monotonous character of the verse. When Uncle Remus sets himself to produce new stories in a form that would seem to be alien to his methods, it is inevitable that his efforts should move along the line of least resistance, which in English is the iambic four-beat movement, the simplest form of narrative verse. Under the circumstances, and in view of his environment, it is natural that he should pay small attention to the misleading rules of the professors of prosody, who seem to have not the slightest notion of the science of English verse. His instinctive love of melody, and his appreciation of the simplest rhythmical move ment, would lead him to ignore syllables and accents and to depend wholly on the time-movement that is inseparable from English verse.
