Excerpt from Children's Classics in Dramatic Form, Vol. 1
Exercise, a favorite play may be given by the children with the simplest kind of costuming and stage setting. These can well be made in the school as a part of the manual train ing and sewing work. In giving the play, it will generally be better not to have pupils memorize the exact words of the book, 'but to depend upon the impromptu rendering of their parts. This method will contribute more largely to the training in English.

This series of books aims to serve three distinct purposes :first, to arouse a greater interest in oral reading; second, to develop an expressive voice sadly lacking in the speech of most A mericans; and third, to give freedom and grace in the bodily attitudes and movements which are involved in reading and speaking. The stories given are for the most part adaptations of favorite tales from the folklore of many countries, from historical tradition, and from standard literature. Children are dramatic by nature. They are for the time the kings, the fairies, and the heroes that they picture in their imaginations.
