+<p class="ind">&#8220;<span class="smcap">What</span> the child imitates,&#8221; says Froebel, &#8220;he begins to understand. Let
+him represent the flying of birds and he enters partially into the
+life of birds. Let him imitate the rapid motion of fishes in the water
+and his sympathy with fishes is quickened. Let him reproduce the
+activities of farmer, miller and baker, and his eyes open to the
+meaning of their work. In one word let him reflect in his play the
+varied aspects of life and his thought will begin to grapple with
+their significance.&#8221;</p>
+
+<p class="ind">In all times and among all nations, finger-plays have been a delight
+of childhood. Countless babies have laughed and crowed over
+&#8220;Pat-a-cake&#8221; and other performances of the soft little hands; while
+children of whatever age never fail to find amusement in playing</p>

+<span style="margin-left: 1em;">And here&#8217;s the steeple,</span><br />

+
+<p>and others as well known.</p>
+
+<p class="ind">Yet it is not solely upon the pleasure derived from them, that
+finger-plays depend for their <i>raison d&#8217;etre</i>. By their judicious and
+early use, the development of strength and flexibility in the tiny lax
+fingers may be assisted, and dormant thought may receive its first
+awakening call through the motions which interpret as well as
+illustrate the phase of life or activity presented by the words.</p>
+
+<p class="ind">The eighteen finger-plays contained in this book have already, through
+publication in <span class="smcap">Babyland</span>, been introduced to their especial public, and
+have been much used in homes, though perhaps more in kindergartens. It
+will readily be seen that while some of the plays are for the babies
+in the nursery, others are more suitable for older children.</p>
+
+<p class="ind">A baby-friend, ten months old, plays &#8220;All for Baby&#8221; throughout,
+pounding and clapping gleefully with all his might&mdash;while children
+seven or eight years of age play and sing &#8220;The Caterpillar,&#8221; &#8220;How the
+<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">6</a></span>Corn Grew&#8221; and others with very evident enjoyment.</p>
+
+<p class="ind">With a little study of the charming and expressive pictures with which
+the artist, Mr. L.J. Bridgman, has so sympathetically illustrated the
+rhymes, mothers and kindergartners have easily understood what motions
+were intended. To elucidate still farther, however, the playing of
+&#8220;The Merry Little Men&#8221; may be thus described:</p>
+
+<p class="ind">During the singing of the first verse, the children look about in
+every direction for the &#8220;little men,&#8221; but keep the hands hidden. At
+the beginning of the second verse, raise both hands to full view with
+fingers outspread and quiet. At the words, &#8220;The first to come,&#8221; etc.,
+let the thumbs be shown alone, then the others as named in turn, till
+all are again outspread as at the beginning of the second verse. In
+the last verse the arms are moved from side to side, hands being
+raised and fingers fluttering nimbly all the time. When displaying the
+&#8220;busy little men,&#8221; raise the hands as high as possible.</p>
+
+<p class="ind">The music, composed by Miss Cornelia C. Roeske, will be found
+melodious and attractive and especially suited to the voices and
+abilities of the very young children for whom it is chiefly intended.</p>
+
+<p class="ind">The harmonic arrangement is also purposely simple in consideration of
+the many mothers and kindergartners who cannot devote time to
+preparatory practice.</p>

+And slowly, slowly turning,<br />
+The great wheel of the mill;<br />
+And then the tall church steeple,<br />
+The little church so still;<br />
+The bridge above the water;<br />
+And when he stopped to rest,<br />
+He saw among the bushes<br />
+A wee ground-sparrow&#8217;s nest,<br />
+<br />
+And as he watched the birdies<br />
+Above the tree-tops fly,<br />
+He saw the clouds a-sailing<br />
+Across the sunny sky.<br />
+He saw the insects playing;<br />
+The flowers that summer brings;<br />
+He said, &#8220;I&#8217;ll go tell Mamma!<br />

+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project

+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the

+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR

+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
