Book Description

Excerpt from Little Poems for Little Children: Suitable for Memorizing and for Recitation at School and at Home The compiler of this book thinks that time taken to teach these maxims, proverbs, and selections is time well and profitably spent, beneficial in many ways. We all know that youth is the golden period for memorizing. What we learn in youth grows up with us, and in time becomes a part of us. Hence the necessity for choice things with which to store the mind; by so doing we hope to verify the saying, Keep your head and heart full of good thoughts, and bad ones will find no room. The cup that is full will hold no more. When the pupils advance to the grades where lan guage work is required of them, they will have correctly formed sentences on the tip of the tongue, ready to drop Off. Facts learned in rhyme, if thoroughly learned, are seldom forgotten. How many of us have had occasion to repeat the rhyme, Thirty days hath September, etc., to call to mind the number of days of some month, which had wandered off.
