FIFTY FAMOUS FABLES
BY LIDA BROWN McMURRY
PRIMARY CRITIC TEACHER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, DE KALB, ILLINOIS
B. F. JOHNSON PUBLISHING COMPANY
PREFACE
The fifty fables in this book have been selected for second grade
reading because they are easily comprehended by pupils of that
grade, and because they teach lessons which every child should
learn.
It is not wise to tell the class the moral application of the
fables. It is better to have each pupil make his own application
without any suggestion from the teacher.
In adapting the stories the conversational form has been largely
used; this form not only gives much pleasure to the children, but
it also affords excellent opportunities for voice culture.
Most of the stories have been successfully used for several years
with classes of children in the State Normal School at DeKalb.
