MoreHow often the teacher in school, or the club director of church or settlement, is heard to say, The children would like to give a play, but we really cant find time enough for rehearsals. Sometimes they add, And they have so much to learn in their regular school work that it hardly seems right to take time to memorize long parts. It was to meet just such conditions that these plays were written. The writer never sat herself down with malice aforethought to produce a volume for publication, but from time to time, as a play was required for a definite group or a special event, developed and wrote something suitable for occasion, place and actors. In some cases the play was actually put in rehearsal before it was fully written, a seeming anomaly made possible by the building up of a dramatic entertainment out of materials already familiar, as songs or dances learned in regular classes.
