FOREWORD
Long ago I was captivated by the charm of theJataka Tales and realized the excellent use that mightbe made of them in the teaching of children. Theobvious lessons are many of them suitable for littlepeople, and beneath the obvious there are depths anddepths of meaning which they may learn to fathomlater on. The Oriental setting lends an additionalfascination. I am glad that Miss Babbitt has undertakento put together this collection, and commend itfreely to teachers and parents.
Felix Adler.
