| Parents Should Tell Stories
For Children's Education
An Interesting Tale Is as Necessary to Child's

kF your child asks for a slice Of
bread and butter YOU give It to
him, but when he asks for n
story. do you tell him one?
STORY telling is as necessary to a
child's mental development as bread
and butter is to his physical growth"
said Miss Sarah NJ. Mott, first grade
teacher in the Ethical Culture School
at 63d Street and Central Park West.
And please note that l said story
telling instead OF reading. A great
many parents have an idea that they
are doing their duty by their children
in a literary sense II they read a
story TO them occasionally. But per-
sonally doubt II the child. even up
TO eight or nine years old, under
stands the story or gets as much
out of the story as n the parent told
IL to him. Even the simplest story
contains a great number of words
and phrases which tho child cannot
grasp II read right along word aftsr
word. Then, the sfng-song tone OF
the voice, which the average reader
acquires, rather puts HIM TO sleep. II
is true children win sometimes listen
as long as you read to them, but l
often think Il is a case like the little
girl, who said: 4 like 20 hear her
read because she wiggles her mouth

''But story telling is an art" I sug-
gested, land perhaps not every par
ent feels confident TO tell a story with
the same ease and grace 1t is told in
a book"
"That is Just the point I was com
ing to-" laughed Miss Mott. She is
a brown eyed. middle-aged woman
with a very sweet voice and well
modulated voice. For many years
she has taught tho very young child
and what a lovely story she could
tell! How Interesting she could make
the story OF the three bears, or fa-s-
cinate one by describing Cinderella IS
ball gowns!
The child should be told a story
the very moment he can sit up and
look around the room. The story OF

ton 70 a story. Every parent gives
the baby that story. but most OF them
stop right there. The next time they
begin a story is when the child Is four

Parents give plenty OF time 20 the
clothing and food OF the child, but toe
many win not give tho time to this
delightful way OF developing the

In the Illustrated World
The difference between a woollen
and a worsted cloth lies In the way
the fibre is made into thread. A
woollen thread Is one in which the
hbres are matted. twisted and mingled
together In much the same way that
uncombed tousled hair appears upon
thread In which tho long ftbres OF
which It Is made have been carefully
combed and laid parallel before being
twisted together. and the thread as a
whole has neat finish. like the
Sticky plastered hair on the head On
one who has just left the barber. The
worsted thread is stout and firm; the
woollen thread Is not. And the two
cloths reflect this difference.
On the points OF shlniness and ten
dency to bag" one can avoid either
evil-but one cannot avoid both. A
worsted cloth holds its shape. but
wears shiny; a woollen cloth wears
threadbare instead OF shiny. but will
not hold It's shape while doing so.
Tho reason for the difference in
behavior IL this: on all cloths there
Is a fuzzy surface called the nap"
which is given by the stray hbres
protruding from the threads. In a
worsted cloth. this covering is sparse
and thin. for the essence OF a
wcrsted is that most of the fbres
have been Strengthened out and
, twisted into the body OF the thread.
Tho thread. therefore, Is firm and
smooth--and when the sparse nap is
worn on the smooth threads appear
and the cloth seems TO shine" the
degree of shinlness depending upon
the closeness OF the weave.
In a woollen fabric, this does not
happen. Under the microscope a
woollen thread appears to be a tan
gled slIen OF hair rather than n
WELL twisted cable. Consequently
goods made OF such thread carry a
heavy nap, and one which does moi
disappear so readily under wear. II
fact, the nap persists almost unit
the threads themselves are gone. FOL
the threads are fuzzy In themselves
and tend to release dibres and thus
renew the nap. Therefore the clotl
never appears shiny.
