COXFt-SINO STORIKS
By Alice ludson l'eule
A. great many of the books which
are published for children contain
an Indiscriminate mixture of the
real
and the fantastic of a sort
which has ' no validity in either
sphere.
They usually are the works of
authors who unconsciously talk down
to children and who think they must
prettify and- sugar-coat everything
that is for a child's consumption.
.Children who have been red on
really well written fairy tales, ani
mal stories aiid realistic tales, are
usually bored by them. They
ject them as "sUlyV
But the. youwg child tp whom the
difference between fact and fancy
is not yet altogether clear often is
confused by them although he ap
pears to. enjoy them.
Sometimes, even, really good
stories are confusing if the child is
too Immature to understand them.
He draws wrong inferences which
mako more difficult the task of
sorting out truth and falsehood In
his own- life. .
To the child- It should .always be
made plain where reality - leaves off
and make-believe begins. :
The child's comments, his" facial
expressions, ' the whole set of his
body while lie listens- to a story
should tell a parent whether his se
lection has been wise. ' ; " ;' .
When" the child's face reflects
anxiety when there should . be a
smile, the' story obviously- is. npt
right for him.

that he has' taken' literally ' some-
i thing that should have, been a
