the case with cooks. Those who
worked for years step by step to the

their children. And there is Moth

presses so much rhythm as poetry.
The reason is apparent why children
often catch the song Of poem with
out the meaning Of the words.
The little poetry usually taught TO
children always includes the nur-
sery rhymes. The good, and famil-
lar ones are:
Goosie. goosie gander.
Where dost thou wander?
Up stairs and down stairs.
And through my lady's chamber.

Then there are the well-known
poems on child etiquette, while
very gratifying TO fond parents,

A child should always say what's
true,
And speak when he is spoken to.
And behave mannerly at the table,
At least as far as he is able.
