Book Description

Excerpt from The Dramatic Instinct in Education A small portion of this book was first given to the public as a tentative study, under the same title, published in the Pedagogical Seminary (1908, vol. xv, pp. 299-346). Many of the subjects treated under the chapter headings were then far less in the public eye. Six years ago only the first of the playground congresses had been held; story-tellers' leagues and clubs in town and city were exceptions rather than the rule; dancing was utilized far less than at present, in schools and other institutions; and pageantry, in its modern form, was not yet introduced into this country. Also, conditions affecting public amusements were less subject to scientific investigation. The delay in publishing has, however, had its advantages. The subjects have now become matters of popular knowledge and interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
