subject。 More especially I urge the telling of the Christ´story�察�in such parts 

as seem  likely to   be within the grasp   of the   several classes。  In all   Bible 

stories it is well to keep as near as possible to the original unimprovable 

text。��1�А�Some amplification can be made�察�but no excessive modernising or 

simplifying       is  excusable      in   face   of   the   austere    grace    and    majestic 

simplicity      of  the   original。    Such    adaptation      as  helps    to  cut   the   long 

narrative   into   separate   units�察  �making   each   an   intelligible   story�察  �I   have 

ventured to   illustrate according   to   my own   personal taste�察�in two   stories 

given in Chapter VI。 The object of the usual modernising or enlarging of 

the text may be far better attained for the child listener by infusing into the 

text as it stands a strong realising sense of its meaning and vitality�察�letting 

it give its own message through a fit medium of expression。 

     ��1�А   �Stories    from    the   Old   Testament�察     �by   S。   Platt�察 �retells   the   Old 

Testament story as nearly as possible in the actual words of the Authorised 

Version。 

       The stories given are grouped as illustrations of the types suitable for 

different stages。 They are�察�however�察�very often interchangeable�察�and many 

stories can be told successfully to all classes。 A vitally good story is little 

limited in its appeal。 It is�察�nevertheless�察�a help to have certain plain results 

of experience as a basis for choice�察�that which is given is intended only for 

such a basis�察�not in the least as a final list。

               HOW TO TELL STORIES TO CHILDREN AND SOME STORIES TO TELL 



              CERTAIN TYPES OF STORY CLASSIFIED 



     FOR KINDERGARTEN AND CLASS I。�此�



       Little Rhymed Stories ��including the best of the nursery rhymes and 

the more poetic fragments of Mother Goose�� Stories with Rhyme in Parts 

Nature     Stories   ��in  which     the  element    of   personification     is  strong��

     The    wonder    tales  most   familiar   and   accessible   to  the  teacher   are 

probably  those   included   in   the  collections   of Andersen   and   the   Brothers 

Grimm。 So constant is the demand for these that the following list may be 

found     useful�察 �as  indicating   which    of  the  stories   are  more   easily   and 

effectively adapted for telling�察�and commonly most successful。 

     It   must   be   remembered   that   many   of   these   standard   tales   need   such 

adapting as has been suggested�察�catting them down�察�and ridding them of 

vulgar or sophisticated detail。 

     From the Brothers Grimm�此�

       The Star Dollars The Cat and the Mouse The Nail The Hare and the 

Hedgehog   Snow´White   and   Rose´Red            Mother   Holle   Thumbling      Three

       Another familiar and easily attainable type of story is the classic myth�察�

as   retold   in   Kupfer's   Legends   of   Greece   and   Rome。��1�А  �Of   these�察  �again�察�

certain tales are more successfully adapted to children than others。 Among 

the best for telling are�此�

       Arachne Pandora Midas Apollo and Daphne Apollo and Hyacinthus 

Narcissus Latona and the Rustics Proserpine 

     ��1�А�A well´nigh indispensable book for teachers is Guerber's Myths of 

Greece and Rome�察�which contains in brief form a complete collection of 

the classic myths。 



                                   CHAPTER III 



                 ADAPTATION OF STORIES FOR TELLING 

     It soon becomes easy to pick out from a collection such stories as can 

be well told�察�but at no time is it easy to find a sufficient number of such 

stories。 Stories simple�察�direct�察�and sufficiently full of incident for telling�察�

yet having the beautiful or valuable motive we desire for children�察�do not 

lie hidden   in   every  book。 And   even   many  of   the   stories   which   are   most 

charming to read do not answer the double demand�察�for the appeal to the 

eye differs in many important respects from that to the ear。 Unless one is 

able to change the form of a story to suit the needs of oral delivery�察�one is 

likely to suffer from poverty of material。 Perhaps the commonest need of 

change is in the case of a story too long to tell�察�yet embodying some one 

beautiful   incident   or   lesson�察  �or   one   including   a   series   of   such   incidents。 

The story of The Nurnberg Stove�察�by Ouida�撮�1�А�is a good example of the 

latter kind�察�Ruskin's King of the Golden River will serve as an illustration 

of the former。 

     ��1�А�See Bimbi�察�by Ouida。 ��Chatto。 2s。��

                 HOW TO TELL STORIES TO CHILDREN AND SOME STORIES TO TELL 



       The problem in one case is chiefly one of elimination�察�in the other it 

is   also   in  a  large   degree    one   of  rearrangement。   In      both   cases    I  have 

purposely chosen extreme instances�察�as furnishing plainer illustration。 The 

usual story needs less adaptation than these�察�but the same kind�察�in its own 

degree。     Condensation       and   rearrangement       are   the  commonest        forms    of 

change required。 Pure condensation is probably the easier for most persons。 

With     The   Nurnberg      Stove    in  mind    for  reference�察    �let  us  see   what   the 

process     includes。    This    story   can   be   readily   found    by   anyone     who    is 

interested in the following example of adaptation�察�for nearly every library 

includes in its catalogue the juvenile works of Mlle。 de la Ramee ��Ouida��。 

The suggestions given assume that the story is before my readers。 

     The     story   as  it  stands   is  two   thousand     four   hundred     words     long�察�

obviously too long to tell。 What can be left out�拭�Let us see what must be 

kept in。 

     The dramatic climax toward which we are working is the outcome of 

August's   strange   exploit��his   discovery   by   the   king   and   the   opportunity 

for him to become an artist。 The joy of this climax is twofold�此�August may 

stay   with   his   beloved   Hirschvogel�察  �and   he   may   learn   to   make   beautiful 

things   like   it。   To   arrive   at   the   twofold   conclusion   we   must   start   from   a 

double premise��the love of the stove and the yearning to be an artist。 It 

will�察  �then�察  �be   necessary  to   include   in   the   beginning   of   the   story   enough 

details   of   the   family   life   to   show   plainly   how   precious   and   necessary 

Hirschvogel was to the children�察�and   to state definitely  how August had 

learned to admire and wish to emulate Hirschvogel's maker。 We need no 

detail beyond what is necessary to make this clear。
