One subject of considerable interest is

Mrs. Goose, better known as Mother
Goose, a very determined assault has been

married woman OF Boston, Mass. blessed
with an extraordinary memory, which en-
abled her to quote hundreds or thousands
OF lines in both verse and prose to her little
ones. To a third group she was an embryo
philologist, who passed a larger part of her
life In ~collating songs and stories which have
made her famous. and in doing for our Ian

A fourth section regards her as q Bostonian
genius. who originated the 500 pages OF tales
and jingles which appear in printed form
today over her name.
Even In Boston, calm and collected Bos-
ton, the fight Is seemingly fiercer and hotter
than anywhere else. Beside the ordinary
quarreling between the four schools there is
q still more bitter kind going on owing to
the terrible charge made by the purists that

to the retort by the supporters that the pur-
lists are so bigoted, narrow-minded, pedantic
and intolerant that they are trying to rob
Boston OF its chief literary glory.
Thus six schools OF thought are initiating
the Kilkenny cats, and not even Emerson's
Brahma can bring order out OF the chaos.
1t is high time for the friends Of Mother
Goose to rise up In her defense. She did
live, and lived In Boston. She was a good
woman, a good wife and a good mother. She
had many children and she did sing them

not only at Fort Sheridan, but in the
