Chapter III: Miscellaneous Tables and Charts (4)

_Fourth._--The stories offer opportunity for inculcating moral truths and sometimes it is possible to teach by stories truths that would be difficult to teach in any other way.

KINDS OF STORIES.--(_a_) _Stories of Real Life_--of events which have actually happened, or would be likely to happen. It is in this kind of story that moral truths can be illustrated most frequently.

(_b_) _Fairy Tales._--Some people object to fairy tales, but innocent fairy tales feed the imagination, and often point a moral. Stories of horror and cruelty should never be recounted. Children soon learn to take delight in this class of story, and as a consequence, their moral tone deteriorates. Such stories as “Bluebeard” have this effect, but “Cinderella,” “Sleeping Beauty,” and many others, show that right is victorious in the end, and cannot have any bad effect on the children.

(_c_) _Stories of Nature._--Flowers, rocks, trees, and other objects in nature may be made the subject of pleasant stories, interesting as a fairy tale, and many important truths may be taught in this way. A story of the kind is given as an example.

(_d_) _Stories for Very Little Ones._--These should be exceedingly simple. A dog, a kitten, a bird, anything that comes into the life of a little child, he is delighted to hear about. Many such stories are given in the chapters on Numbers and Reading, and others will suggest themselves to the teacher. They should all be told in baby language, _i.e._, in language that the child can comprehend. Pictures often suggest a story, which is all the more interesting for being thus illustrated.

The children should sometimes be encouraged to tell what they can remember of the story. In this way they learn to express themselves.

THE STORY-TELLER. (_a_) We have said before that the language should be simple and easy to understand.

(_b_) The voice should be modulated, and the story-telling is much more effective when gesticulations are used. The flying of birds, the rustling of leaves, etc., should be accompanied by hand movements on the part of the Teacher.

(_c_) The story-teller should be in sympathy with the subject of the story, and also with the listeners, otherwise the interest will be lost.

(_d_) Just as pictures add interest to a story, so do illustrations on the blackboard and these should be frequently given. Sometimes the children may be allowed to draw for themselves objects which have been mentioned in the story.

THE AFTER-EFFECT OF STORIES.--It is well to remember that the child’s taste for reading is largely influenced by the class of stories told to him in early life, and in these days of plentiful, cheap literature, how important it is that the youthful mind should be trained to appreciate that which is good.

If a child has learned to gloat over horrible stories, he will gratify this morbid taste by reading ghastly tales as he grows older, and if, on the other hand, he has learned to love stories that are simple and pure, he will choose reading that is good and elevating.

INDEX

The intelligent use of an _index_ requires careful thought and
practice upon the part of the reader or consulter. Many books are
_over_-indexed, and trifling _allusions_, or even _words_, made to
swell the index. It is obvious, therefore, that a book of moderate
compass should use only sufficient space to reveal the _important
general_ subjects treated. Besides the general index, the following
_self-indexing_ dictionaries and departments should be consulted:
