CHILDREN AND LITERATURE

[To the Editor of Tun SPECTATOR.] Sm,—I am writing a book on the subject of Children and Literature, and I should be most grateful if you would permit me the use of your valuable columns to ask any of your readers, particularly parents and teachers, who possess inter- esting, curious, or amusing examples of the efforts of children at literary expression, whether in prose or verse, to be kind enough to give me the opportunity of reading, and, possibly, using them. Needless to say, I should return all MSS. sent to me, and refund the cost of postage.-1 am, Sir, &c.,
