LITTLE DRAMAS FOR PRIMARY GRADES

The use of dramatic readers has passed beyondthe experimental stage. Their value inarousing interest, in stirring the imagination, inquickening literary appreciation and power ofinterpretation, has been so clearly demonstratedas to make them permanent textbooks in theelementary schools, and more particularly in theprimary grades. The present difficulty consists,therefore, not in uncertainty of the value of dramaticliterature, but in the inadequacy of thesupply. The need of suitable literary materialin good dramatic form for the primary grades isstill very great. This little book has been compiledas one step toward meeting this need atleast in one particular school, but it is hoped thatit may prove of service in many other schools.It is intended for use at the end of the first, andat the beginning of the second, year.
