Excerpt from book: THE MYTHICAL STORIES. In the third grade we wish to bring a number of the mythical stories vividly before the children.

Excerpt from book: THE MYTHICAL STORIES. In the third grade we wish to bring a number of the mythical stories vividly before the children. The classical myths which belong to the literature of Europe are the fund from which to select the best. Not all, but only a few of the simple and appropriate stories are chosen. Only two recitation periods a week are to be set apart for jthe oral treatment of these classical myths. But later in the progress of the reading lessons other stories should be treated. The few recitation periods used for oral work are rather designed to introduce children to the spirit of this literature, to get them into the appreciative mind. This body of ancient myths comes down to us, sifted out of the early literature of the active- minded Greeks. They have found their way as a simple and charming poetry into the national literature of all the European countries. Is this the material suited to nine and ten-year-old children? It will not be questioned that these myths belong' to the best literary products of Europe, but are they suited to children? It is evident that some of our best literary judges have deemed them appropriate. Hawthornehas put them into a form designed especially for the young folk. Charles Kingsley wrote of the Greek myths for his children: "Now I love these old Hellens heartily and they seem to me like brothers, though they have all been dead and gone many a hundred years. They are come to tell you some of their old fairy tales, which they loved when they were young like you. For nations begin at first by being children like you, though they are made up of grown men. They are children at first like you-men and women with children's hearts; frank, and affectionate, and full of trust, and teachable, loving to see and learn all the wonders around Books, Literary Collections~~General, Special-Method-For-Literature-And-History-In-The-Common-Schools~~Charles-Alexander-McMurry, 999999999, Special Method For Literature And History In The Common Schools (1894), Charles Alexander McMurry, 1164843850, Kessinger Publishing Company, , , , , Kessinger Publishing Company<
