FOOTNOTES:
[48] I do not deny that there can be charming representations of this kind. Miss Netta Syrett has given a triplet of plays at the Court Theatre which were entirely on the plane of the child; but these performances were somewhat exceptional.

[52] In this matter I have, in England, the support of Dr. Kimmins, Chief Inspector of the London County Council, who is strongly opposed to immediate reproduction of the stories.
[53] Needless to say that these remarks only refer to the illustrations of stories told. Whether children should be encouraged to self-expression in drawing (quite apart from reproducing in one medium what has been conveyed to them in another), is too large a question to deal with in this special work on Story-Telling.
