It is an interesting study to note the decided change of style and the ad- vance made in childrens’ books during the last century. What first strikes the casual ob- server is the old books, is the absence of color: possibly the cost of colorel engraving prohibited & too lavish uss of pigments. But why. yo shades ot our grandsires and dames, why this painful regard for “les convenances?” Honest fun, and happy, cheerful look- ing boys and girls seem to be unpopu- lar. A normal child one seldom sces. they look as if their little souls wers encased in plaster casts, very rogues look prim. Naturally th German Marchen began to give a lift over this stilted style, and then, the childrens' friend, Charles Dickens, op- ened to them a whole field of wonder- ful imaginings. Mr. Theodore Watts Dunton say that the child was neglected, even by the art of literature. Large humbers of publications were printed for thea but nearly all hid a bitter powder to a very small proportion of sweets. In those days, children, to quote Mark Twain, were regardéd as it every one being born with an_equal amount of original sin, the pressure on the square inch must needs be greater in a baby. Poor little folk, how very badly the world of penny-a-liners treated you, in the days of long ago. Every story had_some indigestible ‘moral truths in it, that made the most beautiful ro- mance, only a sugar-coated pill, after all. it would be quite out of place hers, to suggest any theory to acount for the more recent homage paid to child- hood. I am sure many children of healthful, normal minds were made unnaturally morbid by being forcea to read too much about the lttle would-be-saints! Stories of Long Ago. As we look into the stories of long azo, the books reveal almost nothing e e s = o h e s o e o e e d a d e greatest men and women may be seen and heard to speak, has added a new intended for a child's comprehension, the greater part of their ballads is meant for grownups! Poor little be-starched and be-frill- ed humanity of a century ago!

We do not envy them, their nose sweet, we confess we like our riotous Jack and Jill much bet- it is doubtful, if even the earli- editions, now the exclusive prop- of the nursery, were really pub- g own ter. erty lished for little ones. These chap books were usually small, and illustrated with droll little wood-cuts. | The same cut was used again and again to express the most different ideas “No creature played so many parts a bird, which after being named an eagle, a cuckoo and a kite, is fin- ally called Noah’s Dove.” Peddlers, or Chapmen. Inside these books we find interpre- tations of dreams, histories, stories of valor, songs, ballads, tracts etc._ They were ' sold about the country by ped- dlers or chap men. Steele savs, ‘if you want to sell here is your chap.’ So we find it meant formerly both buy- even the nd ‘question ‘the good of childrens’ books all. ‘Tieck Is said never to have allowed one to enter his house. Our books give them a world of new ideas, but they do more, for they purify and freshen our old ones. As regards also the old childrens’ books, or to speak more literally the childréns’ old books of about forty years ago, the hamn- mered friends of our yofth, Whose crazy Jjoints and soft old leaves have stood the Sturm and Drang period. These tell not only of the times when they were eagerly devoured but of the very places; the topmost bough of some old apple tree - perbaps, fror whence the youthful imagination soar- ed to heights unknown, or some quie little nook where engrossed in the be- loved pages, all sorrows sebmed giort lived, and ‘even solitary confinement easily borne without a murmur.. Tak- ing a retrospective view of the matter we must admit that the whole mistake ninges upon the slight but important distinction between childish books and childrens' books, the first reguires no mind at all, the sécond, mind of n» common ciass. In short, the beau- ideal of this class of comipesition has in the union of the hightest art with the simplest form. The Earliest Books. Amgng the earliest books for chil- dren was the horn book. A leaf, con- taining the alphabet, nine digits, an the Lord's Praver, covered with trans- parent horn and fixed in a frame. There was generally a handle to hold it by, and thro' a hole in the handle n cord was put, by which the scholar could sling it to his girdle. - In a book printed in 1731, we read of a child 1 a bodice coat and leading strings with a horn book tied to her side. Thes= O Seebac s mow ioeien far SHerstone speaks of them in The School Mistress: “Their books of stature small they take in hand Which with pellucld horn secured are To save from fingers wet the letters fair. We read that down to the time of George 11, no book was used so uni versally. We are told of “a silenced minister, who came over to New England, and brought a great Bundell of Horne books with him, and careful hee was (800d man) to blott out all the crosses on them for fear least the people of (he land should become Tdolaters.” No edigion s known to contain the cross. New England Primer. The New England Primer is perhaps our best known Child’s book. It was compiled by ministers and known ns the “little Bible of New BEnglund.” We have often heard of reverential fam- ities putting it on the shelf with the Bible and Almanac! More than half the book is filled with the Lord's Pray- | er, Creed, some of Watts' hymns, ths | whole of the Catechism, and exeéllent | admonitions, not to cheat at play, not to lie, not to use ill words, nor cail ill names, not to be a dunce, and to love School. - It is rather difficult ‘o say whether cuts or texts In oll nursery literature are the more amus- ing. The lady who thought it neces- sary to teach children that fishes have no legs, and that sea-water when boiled becomes fresh, is quite on a par with the young lady falling into the water head first, with skirts tight drawn down to the tops of her trim decorous little hoots.

As for the chapman himself, you must know, he was a great man. We may still see him at times after the older fashion, travelling about the country in a sort of rumble. This vehicular mode of transit set him far above the rank of ordinary foot pads. He was a sort of peddler in high life. Oh, the sensa- tion his arrival caused! The village green was instantly instinct with life From every possible nook and cranny surged forth a small afmy of all ages. Hoarded pennies were drawn .forth from cherished hiding-places, and flintry maternal pockets were assailed with comparative success. He had so many things to tempt their juvenile fancy—and what a man was Jack him- self, he had a joke for evervone. Short Lived Books Today. The childrens’ books of to-da extremely short-lived, and the nursery | artist thumbs them to death; a happy | fate T am sure, for all books. To se¢ his volumes worn out by too eager votaries, what more could an artist or author wish? Children are oftan shrewd judges, and can detect the false from the true in morals as in art. Who could be cheerful inside an “In- structive History of Industry and Sloth,” or “Tea Table Dialogs, between Miss Thoughtful, Miss Sterling” etc. The dreary titles must, of necessity, have made the text and ilhxslrs\{]ons aull ‘For many years ‘before the \Wic- terian period, folk lore was left to the peasants, We grant it is dificult for us to | form any precise_estimate of what is | interesting to children, we should be | obliged to recover Some of their brightnes of vision, and keanness of appetite, before we could detect the schoolmaster beneath every kind of shdeps' clothing, or feel like them what a complete kill-joy he must be 10 their tastes. How odious it must be to feel that whatever path of enjoy- ment a child enters, an ambuscade of knowledge is Jurking, ready to rush down upon him. Nothing 4s more sur- prising in our journeys through smali libraries, than to ses the flimsy ma- terials of which many. of these books are compgsed. Children are such ke-s casuists, that they know at once what |1s absurd or unnatural, ang could we | see inty their hearts we would find | they had a secret contempt for 'the | pedantic, unreal creatures figuring in | their_storfes. We look fondly back to | childheod, they ardently forward to | maturity;’ we magnify the happiness that is past, they, that alone ywhich is | to come. Parents and teachers usually find the much-ado-about-nothing sys- tem quite superfluious and those In- genious teachers who climb over thc | house to oven the door are, we belieye, waning in estimation. Children do hot really care for the mental bits dropped down to them from the tree of knowl- | edge, but would much rather stretch | and pull ard get on tip toe to reach | the sweeter fruit above them. The itruth is children are distinguisked | from ourselves less by an inferiority | than by a_difference in capacity; the | barriers between manhood and child- | hood are marked less by the progress | of every power than by the exchangn of many, The real secret of a child’s book is not that it is less dry and difficult, but that it is richer in Inter est, fTuer to nature ad more exquisfs {in'art. Such Leing the case, a falr | exchange is often most . wholesoms, Robinson Crusoe the standard favorite | for more than a century was not orig- ipally written for children, Naturaily Juvenile books are as necessary to Cchfidren, as youihful —companions: thuugh to be restricted exelusively to Comenius. Children loved it. as it ap- pealed strongly to their senses. The first edition was published in Nurem- burg in 1657. I believed it was not until the early part of the seventeenth century, that the English words were So arranged as to stand opposite their Latin equivalents. It was first in tended for a child’s encyclopedia, and as a picture of the life and manne:s of the seventeenth century, the work has great interest. It was really the first attempt to reach the child’s un- derstanding, through what we call object lessons. We cannot help feel ing some surprise that school masters could have been so progressive, two hundred and fifty years ago, but 't certalnly proved the principle that words and things should be learned together. Comenius says, it was written so that the scare-crows may be taken away out of wisdom's gar- dens. There are about 150 iHustra- tions in the book. It all brings Com- enius nearer home to us. when we learn that uron the resignation of President Dunster in~ 1654, Comenius was solicited to become President of Harvard college. The Bay Psalm Book was the first book printed in America. The familles of Boston were possessors of a good many books, all of which had been brought from the other side of course, until Stephen Daye came over some time in 1660, and set up Widow Glovers’ printing press in Cambridge. It was not until 1674, however that John Foster had permission from the court to set up a press elsewnere than in Cambridge, and thus he became the first Boston printer. Perhaps there is no better Proof of the merit of modern high- chair literature, than to see the pleas ure, the grown-ups take in reading the youngsters' books at Christmas time.

Boutet de Monvel's children | have a certain daintiness peculiar to French children and we love to turn again to the pages he has adorned,— they have a grace of their own, even to us, gray haired cynics that we are. The idealism of childhood, believing that all that is most beautiful must, on that account, be most true clam. ors acordingly for “truth. After ail, we are but hildren of a larger growth, and our playtime was so very sho-*, we love to 100k over the wall of years into that land of make-believe, with its great hills of imagination, behind which childhoods sun never sets.
