Learning to Share

On the Education page of The Christian Science Monitor of October 3, 1936, appears a story of how, through the tactful and judicious direction of her teacher, a little girl learned to sing in public, free from all sense of self-consciousness or fear.

This wise and far-seeing teacher, who handled intelligently the little children entrusted to her care, asked one of them who had learned to sing a song, which it was agreed was "beautiful," if it would not be a kind thing to share it with others who had not had the pleasure of learning just that special song. And so, one morning, this little maid and an equally small companion, free from all embarrassment and fear, sang their song to an appreciative audience of five hundred grownups, students and faculty of the Normal Department.

To the writer this story conveyed a message of deep import. As students of Christian Science we all have had experiences which are too beautiful to be kept to ourselves, and which we should joyfully and fearlessly share with others.
