_Origin of the Story Tellers’ League Movement in America_

One time some half a hundred people gathered on a lawn at twilight at the close of a summer’s day, to tell stories, to sit on the grass, to relax, rest and commune with those spiritual forces that lie dormant in literature and in nature until touched by living and creative personalities. We were a group of teachers attending the Summer School of the South at the University of Tennessee. Twice a week these meetings were held with an informal program of stories and the singing of familiar national melodies. At the close of that session of the school, numbering over two thousand teachers, a formal organization was made which afterward became the National Story Tellers’ League. That was July, 1903, and marked the beginning of the Story Tellers’ League movement in America.

Since that time the movement has grown until many local leagues have sprung up all over the United States. The purpose of the whole movement in a word is the told story, oral literature, with the young people always in view.

BUSINESS DEPARTMENT

Do you believe in fairies? We ask this question because if you do, you will at once be reminded that all good fairies stand ready upon the slightest provocation to lend their assistance to a good cause. When the virtuous Cinderella’s fortunes were at a low ebb the waving of the fairy wand promptly summoned to her aid a host of cheerful attendants who worked so industriously in her behalf that she immediately became a princess and lived happily ever after.

The Storytellers’ Magazine, like the good fairy is interested in the welfare of the Children, and, also like the good fairy, is waving its wand to summon a host of workers to its side. At this moment it is waving its wand directly at _you_. In Fairyland, as you may have noticed, the cheerful little fairy workers respond immediately to the waving of the wand, and work most industriously without other remuneration than the thought of a brave deed well done.
