Excerpt from Parents and Their Problems, Vol. 8: A Systematic Course in Child Nurture, Character Building for Parents and TeachersThe stories are for reading by the children and are in a relation to the subjects discussed, not too exact or too close, but in a manner to cause re¿ection upon the subject matter while furnishing an interest ing story. It will be found that most of these stories are capable of much historical expansion. If the in terest is great enough, any encyclopaedia will give a great deal of material about the characters which are treated, and thus almost endless development can be secured. If this is done, the stories will furnish a very striking course in history, literature and ideas. A. A.
