Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life in Colonial Days It is my hope that children as well as grown folk will find in these pages much to interest them in the accounts of the llfe of children of olden times. I have had this end constantly in my mind, though I have made no attempt, nor had 1 any intent, to write in a style for the perusal of children; for I have not found that intelligent children care much 'or long for such hooks, except in the very rare cases of the few great hooks that have heen written for children, and which are loved and read as much hy the old as hy the young.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life in Colonial Days When we regard the large share which child study has in the interest of the reader and thinker of to-day, it is indeed curious to see how little is told of child life in history. The ancients made no record of the life of young children; classic Rome furnishes no data for child study; the Greeks left no child forms in art The student of original sources of history learns little about children in his searches; few in number and comparatively meagre in quality are the literary re mains that even refer to them. We know little of the childhood days of our forbears, and have scant opportunity to make comparisons or note progress. The child of colonial days was emphatically "to be seen, not to be heard," - nor was he even to be much in evidence to the eye. He was of as little importance in domestic, social, or ethical relations as his childish successor is of great importance to-day; it was deemed neither courteous, decorous, nor wise to make him appear of value or note in his own eyes or in the eyes of his seniors. Hence there was none of that exhaustive study of the motives, thoughts, and acts of a child which is now rife.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonial Children Reading aloud with taste and expression is only part of the school training. Children must learn to read both to and for themselves; to get the sense by the appeal of the printed page to the eye, as well as of the spoken words to the ear. That children do not acquire this power generally in the primary and grammar schools is known to secondary school teach ers; repeatedly. In my high school classes I have found that reading twenty pages of a comparatively easy history or even of a novel, was a time-taking task without definite results in the way of securing the ideas. Since this power cannot be acquired without years of training, a beginning should be made in the elementary schools. There is no doubt that many of these stories would be most profitable and engrossing seat work, a means of relaxation, which would not involve mischief making.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life in Colonial Western Pennsylvania In such a situation children were much to be desired, if for no other reason than to provide a labor supply. For, isolated as they were, where land could be had for the taking, few if any men could be hired as laborers even if the father could have found the wherewithal to pay them. Under such conditions the sons became the helpers of their fathers, both in hunting and farming; while the girls aided their mothers in gardening, spinning and other household duties. But the most important part played by children in the frontier days was not in the role of laborers. They were rather the incentives which spurred their parents on to de sire better conditions. In the first place, more land had to be claimed and cleared to provide nearby farms where sons and daughters might live when grown. In the second place, the old cabin had to give way to a bigger, better and more comfortable log-house to shelter adequately their yet small brood. In the third place, a desire was created for safer surroundings for these children: the Indians had to be driv en back to parts where they would cease to be a menace to these new communities; and the Law had to be called in to deal with the roysterers of the border. In the fourth place, better communications had to be established with the out side world in order that the children might learn to know more of the country to which they belonged, and that cer tain comforts might be brought in to vary the monotony of their lives. And lastly, parents became impressed with the need for the establishment of some means of education, so that sooner or later there appeared that characteristic feature of American life, the school. Thus, in the course of a few years, the aspect of the community was changed. Around the group of old log cabins and the stockade fort where traders and hunters had stopped to rest, swap tales and drink healths, there grew up a peaceful and substantial farming community, with less of the passing nature about it. With the coming of the children, therefore, the frontier, as such, gradually moved farther westward while in its place a quiet and law abiding countryside appeared.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Colonial Children But after all, what did it matter> There were the loving mother arms, which are better than cradles, if a baby can't have both; and there were the proud and happy papas, each one, of course, thinking his baby whole worlds sweeter than any other baby ever born. And then the aunts and the uncles those two babies had! Every man and woman on board the vessel declared themselves aunt and uncle to these two wonderful new babies; and so anxious were they all to help take care of the little fellows and hold them on their laps, that even had they had the cradles and soft blankets, the babies would have had little time to use them.
