PREFACE

Children delight in stories. They are interested in little folks of other lands. Teachers of to-day are alive to this fact.

Many devices are used in the classroom. Dolls are dressed in national costumes, pictures are collected, and special days are set aside for imaginary trips to foreign lands.

The stories in this book deal with race types. Not only are glimpses of home life given, but some of the folklore or hearthstone stories are here retold.

The chapters in this book have been a guide to one teacher, and it is hoped they may be to others.
