The following is a list of records, in addition to those already named, suitable for presentation in conjunction with nature study in the kindergarten and primary grades:

PICTURES AND MUSIC

Often a musical selection may reinforce the impression made upon pupils by a famous picture. Indian pictures cannot fail to add to the romance of Indian lore. The appeal of The Angelus (Millet) will be strengthened by such selections as Adeste Fideles, played on the chimes, and Evening Chimes (18018). Pictures of the great composers are readily available. Suggested correlations of pictures with records are:

PRIMARY STORIES AND POEMS

ROFICIENCY in story telling is a vital part of the professional equipment of every successful primary teacher. The records of universally-used stories by noted authorities in story telling are designed to furnish a model for the teacher and at the same time

to stimulate in the pupils new interest in familiar stories through the hearing of voices to whose tone and inflections they are unaccustomed.

The hearing of stories and poems is a valuable aid to music appreciation in that it cultivates good habits of listening and attention.

As an aid to the teacher in securing pupils' reproduction or re-telling of the stories, it is suggested that after the children are familiar with a story, only a portion of the record be played, the pupils being required to complete the story in part or as a whole.

Dramatization plays an important part in developing language power in children, and suggestions are given for the dramatization of some of the stories by the class as a whole or by individuals. These stories may be readily adapted to conform to local needs and classes of children. It is recommended that care be exercised that pupils do not confuse narration or oral re-telling of the stories with dramatization. Such characters only should be acted as are clearly personified in the story. In cases where the story text is quoted in the following suggestions, the pupils may dramatize as the record plays.

By the Shores of the Gitchie Gumee ("Hiawatha's

Then the Little Hiawatha

Childhood") ("Hiawatha's Childhood")

(See Pan and His Pipes, "The Songs of Hiawatha.”) Let us hear the story of the home of Hiawatha told in song. Can you tell how many singers there are? (Play By the Shores of Gitchie Gumee at end of first paragraph, page 73.)

By the shores of Gitchie Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the Moon. Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest,
Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,
Rose the firs with cones upon them;
Bright before it beat the water,
Beat the clear and sunny water,

Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.

Did you ever see an Indian cradle? Why did the grandmother call Hiawatha "Little Owlet?"

This is the song Grandma Nokomis sang to him. Play, Ewa-Yea!-35617

What were Hiawatha's little candles? What did the Indian call them? Play, Wah-wah-taysee-35617

Our next song will tell us how Hiawatha learned many things that boys of to-day would like to know about, too. (Play Then the Little Hiawatha.)

Then the little Hiawatha

Learned of every bird its language,

Learned their names and all their secrets,
How they built their nests in summer,
Where they hid themselves in winter,
Talked with them whene'er he met them,
Called them "Hiawatha's chickens."
Of all beasts he learned the language,
Learned their names and all their secrets,
How the beavers built their lodges,
Where the squirrels hid their acorns,
How the reindeer ran so swiftly,

Why the rabbit was so timid,

Talked with them when'er he met them,
Called them "Hiawatha's brothers."
