PAUL BUNYAN TALES the QUESTION Raised by Mr
NOTES AND DOCUMENTS THE PAUL BUNYAN TALES THE QUESTION raised by Mr. Carleton C. Ames in his ar ticle on "Paul Bunyan — Myth or Hoax?," published in the March issue of this magazine, has been the subject of extensive comment in Minnesota newspapers. Among those publishing editorials on the theme are the St. Paul Pioneer Press of April 10, the Minneapolis Star-Journal of April 11, the Bemidji Daily Pioneer of April 13, the Duluth Herald of April 17, the Lake Wilson Pilot of April 18, and the Minneapolis Times-Tribune of April 19. The writers of most of these comments take the attitude that Mr. Ames is attempting to "debunk" the mythical hero of the lumber jacks; others, however, make it clear that his criticism "is not an attack on Paul but a doubt as to the age of the stories themselves."

Something approaching such evidence Is offered by Mr. Raymond Jackson of Minneapolis in a recent letter to the editor of this magazine.

He is a son of Winslow Staples and a nephew of Isaac Staples, " two brothers who came to Minnesota from Maine to cut trees . -

Tall Tales Twice Told (grades PreK-8) was adapted to build analytical and literacy skills through the exploration of verse and playwriting, foster creativity and inspire imaginative thinking. Page to Stage Tour workshops and extended residencies offer students the opportunity to study, explore, and view classic literature through performance. TAM’s Education Tours and complimentary programming challenge learners of all ages to explore the ideas, emotions, and principles contained in classic texts and to discover the connection between classic theatre and our modern world. Teacher Resource Guide information and activities were developed to help students form a personal connection to the play before attending the production; standards-based activities are included to explore the plays in the classroom before and after the performance. The best way to appreciate classic literature is to explore. That means getting students up on their feet and physically, emotionally, and vocally exploring the words.
