PREFACE
It is because I have found that children loveStockton’s stories, that they appreciate thedelicate bits of humor found in them, and enjoydiscussing the ethical questions suggested,that I have arranged in this book a few of thefavorites, easily read by children from eight toten years of age.
I believe, also, that children can best learn toread by reading what is best in literature.
This little volume, then, is the result of repeatedtests with children of various ability inthe reading of Stockton’s stories. The resultsproved that the language is simple and childlike,the thought natural, and the story itselfintensely interesting.
Notes and suggestive questions for eachstory, except “The Christmas Truants,” whichis so simple that it does not seem to need them,are given at the end of the book. These, it isbelieved, will be found helpful to the teacherand pupil and aid in securing the best results.
Julia Elizabeth Langworthy.
