FOOTNOTES.
1. I venture to hope (at this long distance of years) that my
language in telling the story was more simple than appears
from this account.
2. This difference of spelling in the same essay will be much
appreciated by those who know how gladly children offer an
orthographical alternative, in hopes that one if not the other
may satisfy the exigency of the situation.
3. See "List of Stories."
4. At the Congressional Library in Washington.
5. Letters of T. E. Brown, page 55.
6. Page 55.
7. In further illustration of this point see "When Burbage
Played," Austen Dobson, and "In the Nursery," Hans Andersen.
8. "Les jeux des enfants," page 16.
9. A noted Greek gymnast struck his pupil, though he was applauded
by the whole assembly. "You did it clumsily, and not as you ought,
for these people would never have praised you for anything really
artistic."
10. For further details on the question of preparation of the story,
see chapter on "Questions Asked by Teachers."
11. Sully says that children love exact repetition because of the
intense enjoyment bound up with the process of imaginative realization.
12. At the Summer School at Chautauqua, New York, and at Lincoln
Park, Chicago.
13. There must be no more emphasis in the second manner than the first.
14. From "Education of an Orator," Book II, Chapter 3.
15. One child's favorite book bore the exciting title of "Birth, Life
and Death of Crazy Jane."
16. This does not imply that the child would not appreciate in the
right context the thrilling and romantic story in connection with
the finding of the Elgin marbles.
17. One is almost inclined to prefer Marjorie Fleming's little
innocent oaths.
"But she was more than usual calm,
She did not give a single dam."
18. Published by John Loder, bookseller, Woodbridge, in 1829.
19. From "Literary Values."
20. A story is told of Confucius, who, having attended a funeral,
presented his horse to the chief mourner. When asked why he
bestowed this gift, he replied: "I wept with the man, so I felt
I ought to _do_ something for him."
