The Cincinnati Story Tellers’ League was organized Sept. 23,
1906, at the Kindergarten Training School on Linton Street, and
has conducted two successful series of meetings. The last annual
report shows a membership of sixty. Meetings have been held once
a month, on the fourth Tuesday, at 7:15 p.m., sometimes in
School houses and at other times at the homes of members. A
variety of interesting subjects have been profitably considered,
as indicated in the following schedules of meetings:—
Nov. 1906, “Historical Stories;” Feb. 5, 1907, “Bible Stories;”
March, 1907, “Parables, Fables and Allegories;” April, 1907,
“Fairy Stories and Myths;” Jan, 1908, “Legends of the American
Indians;” Feb. 1908, “Norse Legends;” March, 1908, “East India
and Art;” April, 1908, “Japan.” At the May, 1908, meeting a
program of miscellaneous stories was given, including “An
Adaptation of the Story ‘Cinderella’,” by Miss Lillian
Southgate; “A Mother’s Love,” by Mrs. H. Dickore; “The Camel and
the Jackal,” by Miss Pearl Carpenter; “A Story of Great Love,”
by Rabbi Grossmann; “A Hindoo Tale;” by Miss Reta M. Lockhart.
The program was enlivened with songs by Mrs. M. T. Williams.
The June meeting was held out under the trees of Eden Park, when
many enjoyable stories were told.
