MENO, Mgr. 156 SMITH ST. 14 Busy Stores Anna Taylor, "The Story Lady." Once upon a time In the little town of Hamlin notes from the pipe of the pled piper echoed over hill and dell. Little children left their play and followed over the fields and far away to the land -where children are always children and childhood Is always happy. All of that was many thousands of years ago. Only a few years ago another pied piper called, not with a magic reed but by means of a êtlver tongue. Thousands of New York children left their playing and followed Anna Taylor, "The Story Lady." Only a few came at first, then more, and more, until at length more than forty thousand came la a single year to visit the land peopled by gnomes and fairies. L Young ruffians, many of whom had never known anything other than petty thievery and "crape" listened while Miss Taylor told of "The Queen At The Bottom Of The Sea," and immediately besieged the shelves of the J.brarles where the fairy books are kept. Miss Taylor has made a comprehensive study of children and has learned the inborn love of organization. Instead of trying to destroy such an Inclination she has changed its coarse and organised the "gangs" into Clube. Different clubs listen to her stories on different occasions. All who come within the sound of her voice take away new Ideas and broader ideals. In a recent report of the welfare department of the Federation of Women's Clubs, it was stated that the work outlined and carried on by Anna Taylor bad produced a better and more lasting effect than all other institntions for children combined. The public play grounds of which the story telling Is really a department was excepted. In the modern revival of the ancient art of story telling Anna Taylor stands out strikingly. She has voice of an orator and the Imagination of Peer Oynt. She has a boundless sympathy and understanding where child hood Is concerned. With this she has the ability to organise and develop her work. As the "Story Lady" cannot be everywhere at once story telling branches have been established In nearly every library in New York City. In a single year more than two thousand story telling hours are held with tn attendance of more than forty thousand. The story telling hours are ti in practice what they are In theory—an opportunity for children in poverty itricken or foreign families to obtain the cleanest possible amusement and come under the most elevating Influences. Assistants to Miss Taylor are chosen from among the librarians of the various institutions and . these substitute for Miss Taylor In her absence. Bhe personally makee the round· of the libraries aa frequently as possible. In many libraries the Interest In story telling has become so great, that when It Is Impossible for any of the story teller* to be present an older child leads to the rest or repeats the stories that have been told. & There is nothing of compulsion about th· story hours. Each child Is free to come or not as he likes. The rapid development of the institution «hows what the choice has bee·. V . .■ i MARIE DILLS. \. CENSURE HARVARD BOYS'TALK It'· Slandar, Vapid War Chat and Par «onalitiea, Saya College Paper. Cambridge. — Harvard students are accused of being frivolous, If not worse, In their table talk by the Harvard Crimson, every one of the thousand who eat In Memorial ball being lnclud- : ed In the criticism. Tbe editorial says: j "One thousand men are each wasting three hours a day In Intellectual dejec- ! tlon which might profitably be spent In cultivating intelligent thought. "Women, tb" war, athletics and per sonalities comprise tbe range of sub jects. Among the first named virtue is apparently unknown. The weaker sex is subject to slandering remarks wbose sole aim is to fill a gap in tbe conversa tion. "When the talk wanders to tbe war some one says, Ί hope those d d get licked,' and the subject is closed. Even on athletics, where the Interest le keenest, desultory remarks and blasphemies on Yale are the main element. Interspersing everything are biting personalities on another's phys ical or mental qualities. A tone of at fected cynicism crowns tbe whole." Real Hunger.
