152.0. ""CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE"" by STEPS1::GHUGHES () Wed Jul 18 1990 15:18

    
    Hi,
    
    I am new to this conference (fairly) and I usually only read.  I have a 
    question however....Does anyone have a copy of "Children Learn what
    they Live" ?  
    
    thanks
    Ginnie

    My sister just gave me a wall-hanging with it printed on it.  Do you
    want me to type it into this file?
152.2exSTEPS1::GHUGHESWed Jul 18 1990 15:269
    
    .1  I would be eternally grateful.  There should be a topic started for
    writings or sayings like that, do you think?  I think it gives some 
    encouragement at times when parents some times need just to read some
    inspirational words.  Parents everywhere know how hard it is to cope
    and know what is needed at all times with children.
    
    thanks again...Ginnie

    Steve---thanks, you are correct with the concern.
    
    Deb---if it is copywrited..I can look in the store for it.
    
    thanks...Ginnie
    
152.6It does appear to by copyrightedCRONIC::ORTHWed Jul 18 1990 19:359
    Ginnie,
    I have two copies of it at home...one says "author unkwnown" (possible
    cop-out on part of calligrapher who did it) and the other says it is by
    a woman by the name of Dorothy Law Nolte, and that the poem is
    copyright 1963 by John Philip Company.
    I would imagine any gift shop or even Hallmark-type store that sold
    wall plaques would have a copy of it.

152.8copyrights do expireSHALDU::MCBLANEThu Jul 19 1990 14:423
Wait a minute, don't copyrights expire after 25 years?  or is it 50?

152.9RDVAX::COLLIERBruce CollierThu Jul 19 1990 15:522
    Copyrights do expire, but they can also be renewed, even without
    recalling all original editions to update their copyright notices.
152.10Few Lines?PEKING::LYNGAThu Jul 19 1990 16:0711
    
    What a pity you can't copy it into the Notes file for us over in
    the UK!  I saw a lovely script recently at a Craft Fayre which I
    now wish I'd bought, but didn't.  I was wondering if it was the
    same thing.
    
    Can you just supply the first few lines even?
    
    Thanks.

152.11It goes something like this...CRONIC::ORTH$IF WEEKEND THEN SET KIDS/WAKEUP=LATEThu Jul 19 1990 17:5511
    The whole gist of the poem is that a child learns to do what he lives
    with. 
    Its a set of "couplets", the first lines all beginning with "If a child
    lives with....." and the second line beginning with "He learns to..."
    It progresses from living with and learning "bad" things to living with
    and learning "good" things. Does this sound like what you saw? It must
    be available *somewhere* in the UK...gift shops or greeting card stores
    maybe?
    hope this helped!

152.12Sounds the SamePEKING::LYNGATue Jul 24 1990 11:337
    
    Yes, sounds like the same thing.  I'll have to keep a look-out in
    card shops etc. for it.  If anyone finds out who publishes it, I'd
    love to know.
    
    Thanks.
