BENEFIT OF FAIRY TALES.
Writer Makes strong Argument for
Their Retention.

WtthGE WaHb& S@'~8
Their Retention.
It Is very reasonable to argue that
no creation Of human fancy could last
as fairy tales have lasted through no
one knows how many hundreds and
thousands Of years unless It was very
good. For that which Is not good and
not sound must surely die, and only
that which Is good and sound shall
last through the grinding Of the ages.
So I believe that T~erents could MI
their children's imaginations full OF
fairy tales II they would make those
imaginations strong and healthy. As
for that man or woman who has not
these bright and joyous things flying
Ike golden bees through the dim 70
cesses Of his or her memory. ! can
only say that I think his or her pa
rents must have been neglected. OF the
earlier training Of their child. and

who has lost SO much pleasure out OF
