IT is the belief of the author that the aim of all teachers of history should be to cultivate and foster in the minds of... More > children a fondness for historical reading, rather than the mere memorizing of historical facts. In order to best accomplish this purpose, the child’s interest should first be awakened by the historical associations of places with which he is familiar. He should be told the legends and stories of the town or city in which he lives, and at the same time carefully led to see their connection with the broader historical life of the country. Following the stories of local interest, the early history of the colony, with its accounts of the struggles and hardships endured by the early settlers, should be developed. This method will tend not only to broaden and intensify the child’s interest in historical reading, but will give to him some conception of the value of his birthright as an individual of the state and of the nation.

The territory of Chesterville was first included in Lincoln County which at the time extended from the ocean, near the... More > Kennebec River, northerly to the Canada line. Out of this long county the County of Kennebec was formed, about the close of the eighteenth century. Still later, at different times, the counties of Somerset, Franklin, Sagadahock, and parts of some others have been chiefly taken from what was formerly the County of Lincoln. Chesterville is now one of the southerly towns in the County of Franklin, whose seat of justice is in Farmington, the shire town. Before the organization of Franklin County in 1838 Chesterville was in the County of Kennebec. < Less

"WHEN I began to collect these signs and sayings, it was with the idea of gathering them for my own entertainment. In days... More > like the present of universal books and schools, I thought I could hope to get only a few remnants of the thought and notions that have descended to us from the illiterate and superstitious ages of the past; and I supposed that by the time I had picked up two or three scores of these oddities the subject would be exhausted as far as New England was concerned. But when I began to notice, I found that people in their every-day conversation were constantly dropping remarks on the significance of all sorts of things that were a part of this old folk-lore. When questioned, nearly every one, old and young, could repeat a few sayings of the kind I sought, and among these were almost always some I had not heard before. My collection grew until I saw the possibility of a volume, and I could not but wonder what the superstitions of the Dark Ages were like if these were only remnants." < Less

TO claim for any collection of nursery rhymes the title of the "true" Mother Goose, is to throw a glove to the antiquarians;... More > for over the origin and authenticity of these hits of ageless nonsense, as over that of other great classics, lances have splintered and savants have disagreed.

THE American Woman needs no introduction abroad.
Always she is the most welcome of the throngs of self-invited guests who... More > attend the great annual "At Home" which the European world holds for the visiting strangers, an entertainment that is becoming an all the year around function.
All that Europe has to offer is hers on call, so long as she radiates that graciousness and appreciation which everywhere distinguishes her — the most vivacious and distinctive feminine personality of all the women of the world to be seen on the European Playground.
To the American woman abroad is due the credit of having so far influenced the conventions and traditions of the Old World as to have it recognise and accept with good grace (in so far at least as her own actions are concerned) a new standard of feminine conduct — freer and more independent than its own, but none the less modest and self-protective. < Less
