Excerpt from Children of Earth There was an infinity of music in the roaring that filled the night. The texture of sound was as complicated in its intimacies as it was terrifying in its vastness. It was both organ-like and organic. While the congregated sons of power sang each his note to the buffets of wind that tore at their sides, swept upon them, above them, and around them so each blade of bog-grass, each blade of swaying heather, each bulk of sodden moss, each stream that rushed to the valley, each pool of bog-water, each hummock had its individual voice. It was yet the voice of open spaces. There was a surge and sway, a vast impetus of freedom, in that music to declare that neither bush nor tree in that inky dark ness intercepted the course of the wind with an alien cry. The sound was all of movement. Nowhere did it rest in its movement. Freedom, distance, space and speed were the indissoluble constituents of that hymning of Earth, even when it was most complicated in its texture. Its very fury had a gesture of gauntness. Its very frenzy was severe and stern. Through a darkness that crushed the brain came the sense of wide space and unstaying speed.

Excerpt from The Story of Earth and Sky Studies of children's spontaneous questions show that beginning at about the age of nine and lasting at least until early adolescence, there is a keen interest in the origin of things, in the whys of natural phenomena, and in the stars. Schools nowadays adjust their curricula to such interests, and try to give children that mental food and those activities which are suitable to their stage of development. Hence the story of the earth - its probable origin, its evolution, and its place in the solar system - and the story of the imagination-stretching starry universe are becoming important parts of the course of study in elementary schools and junior high schools.

Excerpt from The Earth and Its Inhabitants The great object of this little Work is to make the study of Geography so interesting to Children by lively sketches and entertaining facts relating to the different countries and their inhabitants, that their minds may not only be impressed with geographical knowledge, but awakened to many other subjects of interest associated with it. Many of the explanations in the earlier chapters have been made particularly clear, from the belief that children are too often supposed to know the meaning of terms, which, though perfectly simple to us and appropriate in themselves, convey little light to their minds and cause them to take no interest in what would otherwise be intelligible and entertaining. When long lists of names are learned by a mere effort of memory, they are often painfully acquired and easily forgotten.

Excerpt from The Children of the Valley Aunt Susan was convinced that she had fallen asleep somewhere under a bush, when she could not be found in the house. Aunt Rose thought she might have been taken to drive by people passing through the Valley - sometimes some of them were - and they would bring her back.

Excerpt from Madam How and Lady Why: Or First Lessons in Earth Lore for Children My dear Boys, - When I was your age, there were no such children's books as there are now. Those which we had were few and dull, and the pictures in them ugly and mean: while you have your choice of books without number, clear, amusing, and pretty, as well as really instructive, on subjects which were only talked of fifty years ago by a few learned men, and very little understood even by them. So if mere reading of books would make wise men, you ought to grow up much wiser than us old fellows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Mother Nature's Children This book aims to help the young to see the spirit rather than the form of nature. It traces the love and care and mutual dependence of living things from human beings down to plants. And while it is set in an imaginative framework, no facts are stated and no illustrations used save on good scientific authority. Recognizing the power of pictures to reach the child, such subjects are treated as can be illustrated. Each chapter opens with a picture by some artist of acknowledged ability and contains other interesting pictures bearing directly on the text. In using the book in the schoolroom it might be well to have the children look at the pictures and tell what they see before the descriptions are read. They will thus learn to observe and to think for themselves as well as to express themselves. The pictures and descriptions can be made more real by bringing into the class-room some specimen of the plant or animal or nest or other object that is described. But in dwelling on these material facts of nature, we must be careful not to let them obscure the truth we wish to teach, or bewilder the child by their multiplicity. We must remember that it is not the formal part of nature, but the spiritual part we wish to teach through the forms. We must try to give the children no more of body than shows soul, as Browning says of painting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Earth, Sky and Air in Song His series of books is presented in the hope of aiding the youth of T our country to form the habit of observation of Nature, than which there is no greater power for education. The series consists of two volumes, Book One and Book Two. It is recommended that they be taken up in the order indicated, though each book is independent of the other. It has been my endeavor in writing the words of these songs to use the child's language, and to recognize the child's sense of humor, which seems to me of great importance. In the music I have tried to adhere naturally to the elocutionary expression of the text. It is impossible to give satisfactory directions as to the manner in which songs are to be sung; but if teachers and others who may use these books will bear in mind the above fact and allow the children to sing the words as they would read them, taking all the liberties necessary for the elocutionary expression of the text, the best results will, I am sure, be obtained.
