MORALS IN CHILDREN'S BOOKS
"There was a. tiino when most stories for children wero spoilt by their moral; now they are often spoilt by the nbsenoa of it," says the "Timea, Educational Supplement." "A child does not like a story in which every pretext is taken to improve tho occasion, in which sermons are preached at him when ho , is eager tu know what happened next; but he does not like a story any better in which an immoral world is presented to him. Like all people of sense, he is interested in morals, he does judge people as being good or bad; and a world in which they aro neither good nor bad is unreal to him."
