Excerpt from The Waterboys and Their CousinsAmerican life to-day needs the calming, steadying in¿uence which comes from an intimate association with and knowledge of nature. Too few can see the groves as God's first temples, or appreciate the depth of meaning in the ¿ower in the crannied wall. We live fast, strained lives and are allowing our children to drop into the same habits at an early age. To assist parents and teachers in their efforts to counteract this in¿uence by establishing right rela tions between the child and the surrounding facts and forces of nature at a time in life when the imagina tion holds sway and impersonation is a dominant tendency, these stories have been written.There is nothing more fascinating and uplifting than the great nature environment of the country child if the eyes are open to see it: but it does not follow as a matter of course that all who live sur rounded by fresh breezes, dew and clouds, who work and play in the fresh, clean soil, and who are in touch with the great world of plants, understand, appreciate and enjoy these things.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
