Beautiful Things May Be Admired,

Imagination Has Given Us The Steam Engine, The Telephone, The Talking-machine, And The Automobile, For These Things Had To Be Dreamed Of Before They Became Realities. So I Believe That Dreams - Day Dreams, You Know, With Your Eyes Wide Open And Your Brain Machinery Whizzing - Are Likely To Lead To The Betterment Of The World. The Imaginative Child Will Become The Imaginative Man Or Woman Most Apt To Create, To Invent, And Therefore To Foster Civilization. A Prominent Educator Tells Me That Fairy Tales Are Of Untold Value In Developing Imagination In The Young. I Believe It.

Some Of My Youthful Readers Are Developing Wonderful Imaginations. This Pleases Me. When I Was Young I Longed To Write A Great Novel That Should Win Me Fame. Now That I Am Getting Old My First Book Is Written To Amuse Children. For Aside From My Evident Inability To Do Anything "great," I Have Learned To Regard Fame As A Will-o-the-wisp Which, When Caught, Is Not Worth The Possession; But To Please A Child Is A Sweet And Lovely Thing That Warms One's Heart And Brings Its Own Reward.

Everything Has To Come To An End, Sometime.

Everything In Life Is Unusual Until You Become Accustomed To It.
