"Many wrong ideas are impressed on the infant mind ... The erroneous opinions which little children often form from hearing of animals which have no existence, and seeing representations of them, are calculated to produce an injurious effect upon their inexperienced minds; hence, is evident the propriety of witholding from them every thing but truth, or fiction presented in such form as cannot be mistaken, such as useful fables"--P.
