Ciphers For the Little Folks

These lessons are presented as suggestions with the idea that the parent or teacher will adapt, lengthen, shorten, or remake, as the needs of the little folk demand. The aim of this book is not to impose on children adult knowledge and accomplishments, but to afford them experiences that on their own account appeal to them, and at the same time have educational value and significance. Their attention is much more easily focused upon something they are doing with their hands than upon something which they hear or read.
