? LANGUAGE
The Polish language belongs to the Slavic group,
which includes also Russian, Czech, Serbo-Croat, and
several minor tongues. Of these Russian is spoken by
the greatest number of people, and Polish is next in use.
Polish orthography looks very forbidding, but a little
understanding removes many of the difficulties: sz=sh,
as in shirt; cz=ch, as in church, dz before i has the sound
of j as in jewel. Vowels have the continental sounds,
broad a, long o, etc. and the accent is always on the
penult.
There is no really satisfactory text book of Polish for
the English speaking student. The most important are
listed below.

FOLK LORE
Folk lore is the oral literature of primitive people,
among whom story telling is a social institution. At
spinning bees or "feather-strippings" in the home, as at
gatherings in the market place or on the pilgrimage, the
story teller entertains, instructs, sometimes inspires; and
thus each race has its own traditions preserved from
generation to generation.
In the middle period of the 19th century there was a
great development of interest in folk lore on the part of
European students. In every country some undertook to
collect and transcribe tales as they were recited--the
Grimm brothers in Germany, Erben and Nemcova among

the Czechs, Karadzic for the Jugoslavs, Glinski, Wojcicki,
Balinski, Chodzko and others among the Poles.
Wratislaw, Strickland, and Curtin were the earliest
translators of tales from the Slavic languages into Eng-
lish; Strickland's special hobby is interpreting the tales as
symbolic of nature and the seasons. Curtin, a good trans-
lator, knew also how to tell a story well. Many later
writers have told and retold these tales, until the original
flavor has often been lost and the tales ceased to have
much character or charm.
"Prince Unexpected" is the most characteristic of the
Polish tales, and will be found in almost every authentic
collection. The tales of the Lord Jesus, the Blessed
Virgin, and St. Peter, known also among Czechs and
Slovaks, have their greatest flowering among the Poles,
and a lovely quality in the Polish telling.

This collection of legends about the Blessed Virgin reflects the devout
