NOTE
TO PARENTS, GUARDIANS, AND TEACHERS.
The purpose of the “Glen Morris Stories” is tosow the seed of pure, noble, manly character in themind of our great nation’s childhood. They exhibitthe virtues and vices of childhood, not in prosy, unreadableprecepts, but in a series of characters whichmove before the imagination as living beings do beforethe senses. Thus access to the heart is won by way ofthe imagination. While the story charms, the truthsows itself in the conscience and in the affections. Thechild is thereby led to abhor the false and the vile, andto sympathize with the right, the beautiful, and thetrue. To every parent, teacher, and guardian, who hasaffinity with these high purposes, the “Glen MorrisStories” are most respectfully inscribed by their fellow-laborerin the field of childhood.
