POOR JOAN OF FRANCE,
HEROIC PEASANT MAID

Nearly 500 years ago a little French
peasant, who later served her country
in a thrilling manner, was born.
Do you know her name?
Her parents were very poor, and
when quite a little girl she had to gain
a living by tending sheep and cattle.
When she was Is years old, however,
the little shepherd girl heard strange
voices talking to her, and the voices
always sail, Joan, thou art appointed
by heaven to go and help the
Dauphin.'
The Dauphin, I may tell you, was a
French prince in great trouble, as his
country was in the hands of the Eng
lish. So Joan went to the Dauphin
and told him of what the voices had
said
The Dauphin was in such despair
that he was glad to have the help of
even a peasant girl, and he ordered a
fine warhOrse and sword to be given
her. Then she led the French soldiers
in battle and they gained victory after
victory.
Alas! before long she fell into the
hands of the English and they were so
very angry at Joan having defeated
them time after time that, to the sor-
row of everyone who reads the story
now, they burnt her to death.
And just think, this brave~peasant
girl vas only 10 years old when she
diedl

tale, not only for its literary value but
for pleasant hour of light reading.
Fairy story reading is apt to make
young people visionary, especially when
their nurses or friends are little UNI
certain as to the truth of the tale them
selves. The adventures of the fairies
in most books are very unnatural and
would never occur in everyday life,
making it very hard to believe in them,
such as waving a wand to change a
person into very different being, dis
appearing very mysteriOusly through
the floor d their midnight pranks.
In some cases these superhuman
creatures might work well if the child
to whom they are told is accustomed
to doing wrong things. The story in
this case must be well chosen.
AS 1 have never been imaginative, I
have never been able to believe in the
mischievouS fairies.
