37165A little girl who is walking drops her handkerchief; then, after going a few yards further, stops and says: Where is my handkerchief?
37165All the trees have buds of green, Pretty, yellow flowers are seen, Lambs are frisking, happy, free, Pray what season can this be?
37165And pray what can I get for you?
37165And pray whom did she meet, that said''Good- Day, I''ll race you, little maiden, all the way?''
37165And what did she lose?
37165And when, at last, she reached her Grandma''s house, Who lay there in the bed, still as a mouse?
37165Are there cobwebs, is there dust, Are there crumbs upon the floor?
37165As the object is handed to the first child, the teacher says: Can you tell the weight of this?
37165As they stand thus the verse is repeated:-- Ducking under is the game, Are you ready, children, all?
37165CHILD Please, Mrs. Day, may Nellie come To play all day with us at home?
37165CUSTOMER Good morning, shopman, will you please To weigh for me a pound of cheese?
37165DUCKING UNDER 78 46. WHO''LL GO A- HUNTING?
37165Have you seen my monkey, Jack?
37165I skim so lightly o''er the sea, With wings outspread like bird so free, What are my wings?
37165I think you know well, And what was the end of it all, can you tell?
37165MOTHER, MAY WE GO OUT TO PLAY?
37165More difficult questions may be asked as the children get to understand better, such as,''Which is the way to Alexandra Road?''
37165Oh,''tis broken[ tumbles off], off I go, What else is there yet to see?
37165One of the children carries a cup to the visitor, and hands it to her, asking:-- Will you take a cup of tea?
37165Pray where do they live?
37165Presently one of them-- a boy-- runs up to her and says: Mamma, please, may we ask Nell Day To come and have a game of play?
37165SHOPMAN Good morning, ma''am, how do you do?
37165SPREAD the cloth-- this is the way, Cups and saucers, where are they?
37165The big one takes up his mug and says,''Who has been at my porridge?''
37165The children come to the''house''where the''mother''sits, and standing in front of her, ask:--_ Children_: Mother, may we go out and play?
37165The children then run away, and after a little while return to the mother; she asks:--_ Mother:_ Where have you been?
37165The second bear says the same; and then the little bear takes up his mug and says,''Who has been at my porridge and eaten it all up?''
37165Then they go to the beds in order, asking one after the other,''Who has been at my bed?''
37165They proceed in the same way with the stools, the little bear finishing with''Who has been sitting on my stool, and broken it?''
37165VISITOR How do you do, dear Mrs. Brown?
37165We''ll catch the sly old fox-- O, Safe in a box-- O, Then who''ll go a- hunting this merry, merry day?
37165What are the little holes for?
37165What makes it rough?
37165What time did the fairy tell someone to come To her carriage, and quick, oh, so quickly drive home?
37165When Mrs. May has finished, the child says:-- Shall I take your cup away, And your plate, too, Mrs. May?
37165When the''coach''is ready, the''driver''( a boy) repeats the lines: Here is my coach, who''ll come and ride?
37165Which is the rim?
37165[ 9]On the right thumb place it, Is that right?

37165_ MOTHER, MAY WE GO OUT TO PLAY?_ One corner of the playground may be the''house''in which the''mother''sits.
37165_ Mother:_ What have you seen?
37165_ Mother:_ What said he to you?

389778]] CHAPTER II New Ways"WHAT,"we ask with anxious gravity,"what is the best sort of teaching for children?"
38977And let Me help you"?
38977And the ostrich who draws a hansom cab, and the man who beats the boy with a stick?
38977And when the child asks,"Why is it wrong to steal?"
38977Are You pleased with Your boy?"
38977Do you remember the toys you hated-- after the fading of the first day''s flush of novelty, of possession?
38977Do you remember the toys you liked, the toys you played with?
38977Do you remember the world of small and new and joyous and delightful things?
38977Does any one play it now?
38977Entirely to divorce amusement and instruction-- may not this tend to make the one dull and the other silly?
38977Et que veulent ces cavaliers Toujours si gais?
38977Et que veulent ces cavaliers, Compagnons de la Marjolaine?
38977Grown- ups would always rather that you played hide- and- seek-- and can you wonder?
38977Has it ever occurred to any one that the reason why old people say this is quite the simplest of all reasons?
38977How did these despised mid- Victorians deal with it?
38977How then can we not remember, and, remembering, refrain from hurting other children as we were hurt?
38977How would our twentieth century_ entrepreneurs_ deal with a lake?
38977I suppose you know how to use sand- paper?
38977If electricity can move unseen through the air, why not carpets?
38977If very big men live in Patagonia, why should not very little men live in flower- bells?
38977Is it not well that they should feel themselves important as givers, and not as claimants only?
38977No, of course it wo n''t be in the way-- and would n''t it be pretty if we lighted it up with fairy lights after dark?"
38977Qu''est- ce qui passe ici si tard Toujours si gai?
38977The houses with doors that would n''t open?
38977The stables with horses that would n''t stand up?
38977They will wander off, returning with needle- cases, little boxes, shells-- and"Would this do for something?"
38977This game of come and go and give and take is alive in France; witness the old song: Qu''est- ce qui passe ici si tard, Compagnons de la Marjolaine?
38977When he asks,"Why is it wrong to lie?"
38977When they have whizzed their last, who cares for the tin relics outliving their detestable activities?
38977Who wants to know about pumpkins until he has heard Cinderella?
38977Why not tell the miracle of Jonah first, and let the child ask about the natural history of the whale afterwards, if he cares to hear it?
38977Why not?
38977You can not order your life by that Divine precept without a hundred times a day asking yourself,"How should_ I_ like that, if I were not myself?"
38977You will?
38977and"I hope you agree with me?"
38977what are you kids up to with all this rubbish?"
38977why must we clip those wings and dim those eyes with books?
8439A what?
8439Are your claws sharp?

8439Silver?
8439What color are they?
8439What will you take with you?
8439Where did you get that hat?
84392 begins by saying aloud:"I was asked:''Do you like cats?''
84392 says:"I have a basket,"and the next one to him says:"What is in it?"
84392 says:"I was asked,''Do you like apples?''
8439Can you dance?
8439Each question begins with"What would you do if--?"
8439Examples-- Question-- Where did you get that hat?
8439Examples-- Why is Mr.---- like the flatiron building?
8439Examples: What would you do if you fell into a tar barrel?
8439For example:"I am going to America, what shall I do there?"
8439He asks,"What month are you going away in?"
8439He begins by asking"Is it in this room?"
8439He then asks,"What will you wear?"
8439He then repeats the first part and asks the player next to him,"Could he crow?"
8439How shall I meet you?
8439I am bound for Boston, what shall I do there?"
8439My journey takes me to Chicago, what shall I do there?"
8439Question-- Can you dance?
8439Suppose he asks,"Are you fond of books?"
8439The assistant is called in and he questions the leader, saying:"Well, what time is it?"
8439The child touched says:"Jack Frost came this way,"the child to her left says:"What did he do?"
8439The first one begins by whispering some question to his left hand neighbor, such as"Do you like apples?"
8439The last question is"Where do you like it?"
8439The leader answers thus:"Do n''t you know?
8439The leader begins by saying,"I''m going to sail for China next week, I would like to have you go, what will you take?"
8439The leader has a button which she gives to some player, as in"Button, button, who has the button?"
8439The leader, who knows the game, asks each one in turn:"Do you know how to play rabbit?"
8439The next time around the question is"When do you like it?"
8439The next time the leader says"How could he crow?"
8439The one to his left says:"What is in it?"
8439The player thinking they have named him a cat answers,"Yes,"and says,"Am I a cat?"
8439The player to his left says:"A what?"
8439The questions may be,"Do you scratch?"
8439Then she stands in the middle of the circle and says:"Button, button, who has the button?"
8439Then the player to the right of the leader says,"How did she die?"
8439This one sits in front of them and says to each one in turn:"Our cook does n''t like P''s; what can you give her instead?"
8439This one thinks of something and, standing in the middle of the circle, asks each one in turn:"What is my thought like?"
8439Thus: Handsome Mr.----( met) Pretty Miss( at) The Fair( he said) Have you heard the news?
8439WHAT AM I?
8439WHAT IS MY THOUGHT LIKE?
8439WHAT TIME IS IT?
8439WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF--?
8439WHO AM I?
8439WHO ARE THEY?
8439WHO IS MY NEXT- DOOR NEIGHBOR?
8439What Am I?
8439What Is My Thought Like?
8439What Time Is It?
8439What Would You Do If--?
8439What would you do if you should meet a footpad?
8439When summoned in, the accomplice asks:"Is it any one in this room?"
8439When the assistant is called in, the leader begins by making many scrolls, etc., on the floor, then says:"Great fun, is n''t it?"
8439When the player is summoned in he asks each one in turn"How do you like it?"
8439Who Am I?
8439Who Are They?
8439Who Is My Next- door Neighbor?
8439Why is Miss---- like sugar?
8439and"What will you do?"
8439say the bells of old Bailey,''When I grow rich,''say the bells of Shoreditch,''When will that be?''
8439wherefore art thou Romeo?"
31186Am I a man?
31186Are we all ready?
31186Can I have a room to- night? 31186 Did you walk here this evening?"
31186Do n''t we make a pretty picture?
31186Have I been dead long?
31186Have n''t you anything fresher?
31186Have you been reading anything interesting lately?
31186Have you read_ David Balfour_?

31186Is it a fruiterer?
31186Is it a goldsmith?
31186Is it a lawyer?
31186Is it a small loaf of bread?
31186Is it something you burn?
31186Is it something you eat bread and milk from?
31186Is it that?

31186Is this for the complexion?
31186May I come with you?
31186No; who''s it by?
31186The Grand Mogul does not like E''s,says one player;"what will you give him for dinner?"
31186The name of the captain?
31186The name of the cargo?
31186The next letter?
31186The place she is bound for?
31186The port she comes from?
31186What else did he write?
31186When do you like it?
31186When will that be?
31186When will you pay me?
31186Wo n''t you have some?
31186Yes, and what has it brought?
31186Yes, and what has it brought?
31186Yes,is the reply,"and what have you bought?"
31186_ C_ome now, was it this book?
31186_ H_ow about this hearth- rug?
31186_ L_ook, was it the armchair?
31186_ O_r the piano?
31186( What does y- e- s spell?)
31186A horse?
31186A sun flower?
31186A wild rose?
31186About how many petals has a common daisy?
31186And how soon will_ supper_ be ready?
31186And where do you think I found it?
31186Any one can begin by giving either a prophecy or a characteristic-- thus:"Who will inherit a fortune inside a year?"
31186As he is supposed for the time being actually to be the thing thought of, he ought to frame his questions accordingly:"Am I living?"
31186But perhaps he will now venture to ask for a consonant( which is much more risky than a vowel), and will say,"May I have an''s''?"
31186By this time"Cloche"has been spelled, so that the next question is,"Was it the bell?"
31186Do n''t you think so, Miss Pitters?"
31186Each of the party writes at the top of a piece of paper a question of any kind whatever, such as"How old was CÃ ¦ sar when he died?"
31186His first question therefore is,"Is it animal?"
31186His questions must take the form,"How do you like it?"
31186How big do you think a postage- stamp is, in inches-- a five dollar bill?
31186How does a cow lie down?
31186How high from the ground is a street- car?--a railway car?

31186How many legs has a fly?
31186How many toes has a cat, a dog?
31186How tall do you think a man''s silk hat is, a derby?
31186If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper, where is the peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked?"
31186If you found yourself in a strange city, where you did n''t know a soul, with no money and nothing you could pawn, what would you do?
31186If you should be in a foreign country, not able to speak the language and wanted to order a room and breakfast, what would you do?
31186If you should look out of your school- room door and see smoke and fire in the hall, what would you do?
31186If you should wake up in the night and see a burglar just entering the room, what would you do?
31186Is it a grocer?"
31186Is it the piano?"
31186Oh, do you know the muffin man who lives in Drury Lane?
31186One stands in a corner and the other calls loudly,"Ebenezer, do you hear?"
31186Perhaps he will say,"Miss A, do you think it will rain to- morrow?"
31186Perhaps it will be,"Did you get very wet this evening?"
31186Perhaps this question will be,"I hope your cousin is better?"
31186Pray what shall be done to the owner of this pretty thing?"
31186Pray, who will you gather for nuts in May, on a cold and frosty morning?
31186Pray, who will you send to fetch her away, on a cold and frosty morning?
31186Shall I get a---- instead?"
31186Suppose you was to feel faint-- what then?
31186The Hen: What do you want a bag for?
31186The Hen: What do you want a needle for?
31186The Hen: What do you want a saucepan for?
31186The Hen: What do you want salt for?
31186The Hen: What is the water for?
31186The Hen: Where will you get it?
31186The answer is"Yes, and what has it brought?"
31186The captured player is then asked in a whisper which he will be, oranges or lemons?
31186The duty of the player is to treat them as a riddle, and, asking the question either as"Why is a school- teacher like a pair of skates?"
31186The first one then asks the next,"How shall my lady be dressed for the ball?"
31186The fox replies,"Making a fire"; and the conversation goes on like this:-- The Hen: What for?
31186The next in turn gives a characteristic,"Who has the worst temper?"
31186The next,"_ Wo n''t_ you change the subject,_ please_?"
31186The next,"_ You_, I suppose, agree with_ that_?"
31186The one that acts as schoolmaster asks sharply, beginning at one end,"The name of the letter?"
31186The other row then ask-- Pray, who will you send to fetch her away, fetch her away, fetch her away?
31186The others have to guess what the word is, yet not bluntly, as,"Is it mole?"
31186The player in the middle calls out to the crowd of players,"What''ll you do when the black man comes?"
31186The questions and answers may run something like this:--"Are you feeling pretty well to- day?"
31186The schoolmaster turns to the next player,"the name of the ship?"
31186The secret is that the article touched is always signified by"Is it that?"
31186Then one player starts the game by suggesting some predicament and asking the company"What would you do in such a case?"
31186Then they leave go of each other and stand round the fox, and the leader, the hen, says,"What are you doing, old fox?"
31186They then fall back and the other row advance to them singing in reply-- Pray, who will you gather for nuts in May, nuts in May, nuts in May?
31186Thus in the present instance the first player would announce that the question was,"I hope your cousin is better?"
31186Thus, if it were the bell, he might say,"_ C_ome now, was it the table?"
31186Thus, the original question may be,"Do you like mince_ pies_?"
31186To the next,"When do you like it?"
31186To the next,"Where do you like it?"
31186To the next,"Where do you like it?"
31186To which the blindfolded one replies by asking,"Is it fine or superfine?"
31186WHAT SHALL WE DO NOW?
31186Was it the clock?"
31186What do you think we shall need?"
31186[ Illustration: A PUEBLO SETTLEMENT(_ Frontispiece_)] WHAT SHALL WE DO NOW?
31186_ The second player writes_:--Can you give me any information about suitable songs for our village choir?
31186and"Where do you like it?"
31186but like this:"Is it a little animal that burrows?"
31186meaning, Does it belong to a boy( fine) or a girl( superfine)?
31186or"What is the difference between a school- teacher and a pair of skates?"
31186or"What is your favorite color?"
31186or"Who has the most unselfish disposition?"
31186or"Who will be the first in the room to wear false teeth?"
