Folk and fairy tales, and the adventures of heroes and heroines told by the mothers and grandmothers have a unique value. Related in a homely manner their chief ideas are easily understood. Such tales not only develop the character of the little one, but also improve his own power of recounting what is heard. Very often one finds little children acting such stories. Religious instruction given at home is another aid to progress in the mother tongue. Women are more religious minded usually than men. They remember the words and music of hymns and songs. At a very young age the child learns these by heart and later recites them before strangers. Religious hymns and songs make an appeal to his religious instincts, which is sometimes expressed in another way through the medium of dolls which are made into idols. All this early learning lays a good foundation for the development of the mother tongue. In illiterate families the influence of the mother tongue may not be so effective in the improvement of the vocabulary, pronunciation and the enlargement of ideas, but there is no lack of clear expression of some sort.
