THE EDUCATIONAL
VALUE OF A STORY
Eastern Conference Story
Tellers League Gives Out
Much of Interest •
The working side of the confer
ence of the eastern district clubs of
the National Story Telling League
was begun last night with the first
formal program held in assembly
hall of the Public Library before a
large and most .Interested audience.
Mrs. Harry G. KefTer, president of
the Harrisburg Story Telling League,
welcomed the visiting delegates and
spoke of the slow but sure growth
of Interest throughout the city in the
work accomplished by her associates.
She then introduced Richard Thomas
IVyche, the national president, whose
address upon the "Story Telling
Movement" was full of pointers for
the devotees of this most ancient of
arts. ,
"Story telling." said Mr. Wyche,
in part, "is not elocution, reading
or acting, but combines all three to
a certain degree with the simplicity
of narration. There are no set rules
to govern it for it is a creative art,
and the story teller should go back
of the words and back of the imagi
nation of the writer until he catches
his spirit and feeling. Children are
wonderfully capable critics and the
man or woman who can hold an
audience of little ones need never
fear for holding his adulti hearers.
The story teller is a greater builder
than the artist, for he handles the
unseen forces."
At the close of his informal talk
Mr. Wyche told one of the Uncle
Remus stories, narrating in the
quaint dialect of the Southern negro
the strange experiences of "Br'er
Rabbit' and "Br'er B'ar."
Mrs. William F. Rogers, wife of
the president of the Tarrypin Story
Telling League, of Baltimore, told
"One Good Time," by Mary E. Wil
ltins, a story overflowing with the
mingled pathos and humor of simple
minded country folk.
Mrs. M. E. D. Burt, president of
the Knickerbocker Story Telling
League, of New York city, spoke at
length of the work of this, the larg
est and most active of the clubs.
They have at present flfty-eight
members, among them many profes
sional men, and are rapidly Increas
ing their number. A Christmas tree
and a New Year's reception are
among their annual occasions. Light
refreshments are served at all meet
ings and the unique and interesting
is constantly sought. During the
warm weather all their programs
are held by candle light, which adds
considerably to the character of story
telling.
Mrs. William N. Yates, of the Har
risburg Lo'taue ,told "The Two De
crees," the old story of David In the
lions' den, illustrating it tfs she talked
upon a large blackboard at the back
of the rostrum.
Events of To-day
To-day the visiting delegates were
taken upon a tour of the State Capi
tol, which was followed by a busi
ness session. A beautifully appointed
luncheon was then served at the
Civic Club. An open session was
held from 2 to 3.80 p. m. in the
library building at which the general
public was made welcome. As a final
courtesy the out-of-town guests were
taken on an automobile tour of the
city and its surroundings before feav
inr; for their homes.
Mrs. Minnie Ellis O'Donnell, presi
dent of the Brooklyn Story Telling
League, in her address this afternoon
011 "The Story in the Home" spoke
of the wonderful opportunity for
parents to form the character of
their children by stories of the right
kind, at the right time. A mother
must take the time to prepare the
stories which so influence her child,
but the result is worth it. Fathers
can gain a comradeship with their
boys and a life-lastingi love through
the stories they tell tttem in child
hood, which are more effective told
than when read from books. Mrs.
O'Donnell illustrated her talk by the
following tales: "The Queen Boy,"
tiy Benedict; "The Stick Horse," by
Maude Lindsey; "The Japanese
Brothers" and "For Love Hid."
Stories illustrating special phases
of thought and influence were pre
sented by Miss Lucille Corbett, of
Pittsburgh; Miss Alice R. Eaton, of
the Public Library, and a Christmas
tale by Mrs. W. B. Schulz, of Bal
timore.
