	My grateful acknowledgments are due to the following Authors and Publishers, for permission to make use of their Songs and Games. All the Finger Songs:—" Carpenter," " Joiner," " Brook," "Target," "Baker," "Wheelwright," "Five Knights," Birdie on the Wall," "Oh! Seethe Little Window Bright," "Barnyard," "Garden Beds," "Garden Gate," "Hasten to the Meadow, Peter." These Songs are taken from the book called "Mother Play," published by Lee & Shepard, of Boston, and for an explanation of these Songs refer you to this book. "Butterfly," " Polly," taken from "Young Folks' Opera," by same publishers. Thanks to E. Steiger, 25 Park Place, New York, for "A Little Bird Made a Nest," "Oh! Seethe Snow," "Jack Frost," "It is Lovely May,*' " Away Among the Blossoms." Thanks to Elenore Hurwaite, of London, for " See the Chickens," " Let us Form a Ring," " Who Taught the Bird," " See My Little Birdie's Nest." These Songs are taken from her collection of Songs in Music for the Kindergartens, published in London, by Boosey & Co. A beautiful explanation is given in the book of her Songs and Games. I wish to apologize for using any Song or Game without permission, as I did not know where, or to whom, to write for same. I assure you any infringement is unintentional. Respectfully,             CLARA BEESON HUBBARD, St. Louis, Mo.
	NOTE,—Great care should be taken by the Director in the preparation of the narrative connected with these Games, gradually to lead from one game to another; for instance, the "Farmer," on his return from the Mill, will turn his Horses into the "Barnyard," and then have the children name the different animals in a barnyard.
