INTRODUCTION
THIS collection endeavors to give songs which will be of practical use in the
home, and which will be a source of enjoyment to the little ones.
Songs have been chosen which are simple, tuneful, and of especial interest to
children, who will be able to interpret and to enjoy them because they are related
to their everyday experiences and activities.
A few songs, somewhat more difficult than those for whom this book is intended,
have been included for the benefit of slightly older children, in the same family,
who may want to share the pleasure of song with their younger brothers and sisters.
Music, especially song, makes a tremendous appeal to the child. He usually
loves to sing, and even the little monotone rumbles on, happily ignorant of the fact
that his song consists of one long suffering note.
Different songs appeal in different ways. The "Songs of Grace" foster the rever-
ential attitude; the "Songs of the Seasons," and those pertaining to Nature, a love
for the great out-of-doors and a kindly interest in all creatures. The nonsense rhymes
satisfy the whimsical, the "just for fun " attitude. Many of the Nursery songs tend
to keep alive old traditions.
The sleepy songs rejoice the little mother, as she rocks the doUie that she loves
best. Singing "The Song of Iron" or "The Little Shoemaker" will create a sympa-
thetic attitude towards, and arouse an interest in, those who work so busily for our
comfort. Love of home may be fostered through songs of the family relation, and
love of country through songs of patriotism.
In presenting these songs to the children it is best to tell the story and sing the
song at an appropriate time. For instance, in the fall they will have noticed the
leaves dropping from the trees, and naturally they will be glad to hear about
the leaves "Softly, Softly Falling Down" and then to sing the song with a deeper
appreciation of its significance.
Each song in turn should be played and interpreted to the child in such a way as
to instill in his mind the poetry of the story and develop an appreciation of the
musical thought.
Let singing be a pleasure rather than a task, something to look forward to with
great anticipation and to remember with much joy. Every child has a musical sense
which is fostered by listening to good music and by singing the little songs of child-
hood. Children should sing joyfully and spontaneously, for music appeals to the
finest and best emotions, and may be the means of awakening in them a spiritual
consciousness of the good and beautiful, which will mean much to them in later life.
"Music," says Disraeli, "teaches most exquisitely the art of development."

Roll-ing so stead - i - ly this way and that, Roll - ing his dough so thin and flat?
He makes the cook-ies so smooth and round, . , . And one is cut with each little sound.

Children often express vigorous, energetic moods through the common types for such
representation. In the child's world, the usual pattern is the galloping horse. When a
little child plays ' ' horse, ' ' he wants to go — to go like ' ' mad. ' '

Directions. Circle sings "Soldier boy " etc. One child steps into circle marching with
flag. Child sings, "I'm going" etc. At words "If you'll be a soldier boy," stops and
gives military salute to one in the circle who then joins in marching within the circle. This
is repeated until all are chosen. This game makes a good introduction for a military march.

Directions. Children dance in a circle with one in the center who personates the
farmer. All the circle imitate action which may be varied. The child chosen remains in
ring and during the singing of "Waiting for a partner," etc., chooses a child for a partner.
They dance together while circle repeats chorus to tra-la-la. Child last chosen remains in
circle and game is repeated. When there are many children let all the chosen ones remain in
the circle. The outer ring is soon exhausted and all dance off together.

little girls who love to go through the dumb show of washing, ironing, sweeping, etc.

Here we come gath -er - ing boughs in May, This cold and frost - y
mg.
This old Engi'rsh JolJc game is supposed to symbolize the conflict between summer and winter.
2. Whom will you have for your bough in May, etc.
3. We Mall have Mary for our bough in May, etc.
4. You may have Mary for your bough in May, etc.
5. Whom will 3 ou have to pull her away, etc.
6. We will have Katie to pull her away, etc.
I. The children form in two lines of equal length, facing each other with sufficient space
between to admit of their walking backward, and forward. The two lines sing alternating
verses, marching as they sing.
II. At the end of the sixth verse a handkerchief is thrown on the ground, and the two
children matched against each other join hands ( right ) and endeavor to pull each other over.
The child pulled over is the captured bough and joins the side of the capturers.
ni. The game is then again started by the victorious line. This is repeated until all
have been chosen and the game may be ended by a grand tug of war.
The word bough is also interpreted "knots " and its corrupt form "nuts" in May is
drawn from this. The words are chanted to the well known air of the ' ' Mulberry Bush. ' '
The game should be sung without piano accompaniment as in village play.

This game has many versions, of which the above is one of the most acceptable.
I. One child crouches in the center of the ring while the hunter roams without. The
children in the ring chant and march around.
II. When they come to " run, run, run," the hunter from without breaks through while
the rabbit escapes and is pursued. If caught he becomes the hunter while another child is
chosen for the rabbit.
III. "Hop, hop, hop," "hide, hide, hide," are actions for other verses which the child
in center must imitate. At "hide" all the children seek to shield the rabbit while the
hunter must break through and the chase is again made.

etc. The second chorus responds with "To the meadows," etc., also advancing and return-
ing to place.
II. Partners from opposite lines then join hands and turn once around. Hands remain-
ing joined, all skip forward into a circle which finishes with grand right and left to Tra-la-la.
III. At close of repeat, the circle again resolves itself into lines, the children plucking
flowers on their return.

change.

A single circle is formed facing inward with the hands clasped. One of the players, the
master, is in the centre of the circle. The circle moves around in line of direction, that is,
the players slide sideways right. The master skips around the circle in the opposite direc-
tion, holding his hand to his forehead and looking from side to side as if to find his dog. At
the end of the verse the circle halts on the last "be" and raises the clasped hands high.
The master also halts at the same moment and the one before whom he stops is the little dog.
The little dog immediately turns and runs away around the circle, or in and out under the
clasped hands. Wherever the dog goes, the master must follow the same path in his efforts
to catch him. After he has caught the dog the master may join the circle and the dog be-
comes the master, when the game begins anew. Should the master fail to catch the dog,
after a reasonable chase, the dog may resume his former place in the circle and the game may
begin again as before with the same master.
This game helps to encourage the children to slide quickly and lightly and not drag, as
they are likely to do at first, for all the childi'en desire to hurry past the master so that he
will not stop in front of them.
