This weeks book report is THE
American Mother Goose" by Ray
Wood. To the grown-up, nineteen
this of the fun of this book will
lie in discovering a dozen or so
rhymes he sang or shouted as a
child in a country school-yard
quite unconscious Of the fact tina,
they were genuine American
folklore" b.
To the boy or girl Of today, pro
1 perly brought up on the inimitable
and irreplacable English Mother
Goose, these American folk rhymes
will seem Of the same nature-jol-
ly and learnable.
For these are the American
counterpart of the English Mother
Goose rhymes. They are just as
genuine and of similar folk origin
Some of them are found so gener-
ally throughout the country that
they may have a common origin In
England, but even these, at an
early time, were changed to con-
form to Colonial folk language and
life. These rhymes were made by
the settlers and pioneers to amuse
their children, and they lived and
spread by word Of mouth till they
became known and loved from
New England to Kentucky. Then
they went West in covered wagons
and they are still alive today in
| all parts of the country.
John A. Lomax, Honorary Cura-
| tor Of Folk Songs in the Library
of Congress and author of "Ameri-
can Ballads and Folk Songs
writes the Introduction, and Ed
Hargis, cartoonist, was selected as
illustrator, to interpret the rhymes
with pioneer tang and vigor that
| is suited to them.
Industrial
Most of the classes are in the
shop now. The metal work class
had been and are doing a good job
of remodeling the shop. They have
put up racks for the brooms, re-
built the tool cabinet, made new
tool background, and are now
building a sliding door for the
front of the cabinet. The rest of
the classes are starting on their
projects in woodwork. The shop is
looking much better.
