"The Merman," "The Battle of Ivry," "Horatius at the Bridge," "Krinken," "The Skeleton in Armour," "The Raven" and "Hervé Riel" may all profitably be learned that way. The sustained interest of a long poem is worth while. It is often better to divide a long poem among the children, letting each child learn a part. Some peop le will invaria bly giv e the slow child a very short poem. It does not help the slow boy's memor y to keep it d ow n entirely or depri ve i t of its smaller activity becaus e h e cannot lea rn the whole. Let the slow boy learn and recite as many stanzas as he can and the boy of quick memory follow him up with the rest. Its inspiring sentiment and learning as many stanzas as his mind will take? No, indeed.

Every boy loves "Paul Revere's Ride" (alas! I have not been able to include it), and is ambitious to learn it, but only boys having a quick memory will persevere to the end. I know because I have tried it a dozen times. If one boy learns "The Overland Mail," or "The Recruit," or "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod," or "The Song in Camp," or "Old Ironsides," or "I Have a Little Shadow," or "The Tournament," or "The Duel," nine boys out of ten will be eager to follow him. With the ex ceptio n of seven, they are sh ort enoug h for children to commit to memory without wearying themselves or losing interest in the poem. Is this another collection of stupid poems that children cannot use? Will they look hopelessly through this volume for poems that suit them? Will they say despairingly, "This is too long," and "That is too hard," and "I don't like that because it is not interesting"? Are there three o r four pleasing poems and are all the r est put in to fill up the book ? Nay, verily! The poems in this collection ar e those th at ch ildren love.

Special permission has been obtained for each copyrighted poem in this volume, and the right to publish has been purchased of the author or publisher, except in those cases where the author or the publisher has, for reasons of courtesy and friendship, given the permission. Her annoyance was boundless when she found that she had no right to the poems. A publisher once cited to me an instance of a teacher who innocently put forth a little volume of poems that she loved and admired, without asking permission of any one.
