Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Old English Ballads: Selected and Arranged for Use in Elementary Schools
It is just as easy to produce arrest in the field of taste and refined feeling as it is in any other field of human education. T o thrust upon the immature and undeveloped child the poetic expressions of a highly refined and delicately wrought social structure is to invite defeat at the very outset. Not only does the child remain untouched at the time, but that very fact makes it highly probable that he will not appreciate those higher sentiments when the time for their normal development has come.
