Description:Excerpt from Stories and Story-Telling: In Moral and Religious Education More and More, in these days, the leaders of education thought are coming to recognize the significance of nature's informal means of training her children. Modern psychology finds in natural play a more valuable means of education than any pedagogical device ever formulated by a professional teacher, and points out that it is such because it is nature's own, because it leads to expression the mental and physical powers of the child and youth precisely as they mature, and in the exact ways that ages of racial experience have shown to be most valuable to man. So it begins to recognize in story-telling the earliest, the simplest, and so far as moral influence is concerned, the most universally effective means of impressing upon a new generation the lessons that have been learned by those who have gone before. It has no charm of novelty, but it is only the shallow mind that discredits the old because it is old. Nature is chief of all conservatives. The things that had large influence in shaping man's individual nature or his social customs she never wholly discards. Man's oldest possessions are the really indispensable ones.
