PREFATORY NOTE

In “Windmills and Wooden Shoes” we have a continuousstory of the doings of the Dutch children, Janand Katrina and their little friends.

Teach the children to read this book so that the personalitiesof the children depicted therein will become vividlylifelike to the little readers. Encourage them to bringto class pictures of Dutch life and of Holland scenery.

Make the children in the book live for the children inthe class. Let them close their eyes and see in imaginationthe big windmill, the canals with the drooping willowtrees, the slow-moving barge, and the shadows in thewater. Picture the busy market place, and the Dutchchildren at work and at play. Teach the children thewords and music of the little song found on page 6. Boththe words and music have been arranged to give therhythmic sound of the wooden shoes as the little Dutchwearers “klip klop” about in their work and play.

The lessons in the book may be illustrated by the childrenwith drawings and paper cuttings,—the Dutchhouse, the windmill, the Dutch children, the flowers inthe garden, the stork, the geese, the dog and the milk-cart,the boats, the wooden shoes, and many other thingsthat will suggest themselves from the text to the ingeniousteacher.
