BOOKS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.
MRS. BALDWIN’S TALK BEFORE
THE CHILD STIDY CLASS.
Ways for Cultivating: the Taste for
Reading Among Children—The
Stages for Mental Development In
Children—The Myth Making Age
Dsscrihed—l’lea In Behalf of Good
Poetry for Children—The Teaching
of History hy Stories—Some Books
to Be Rend hy Children From 4 to
lO tears Old and From 1U to 11
Nears Old.
One of the most interesting of the
Lenten classes studying under the
rection of Miss Backus, was that held
yesterday morning at the Phi'.hriek
Kindergarten.
It had been announced that
Mrs. George J. Baldwin would
speak on the subject of children’s
reading and would make the talk prac
tical by giving a lifet of tested books.
Miss Backus’ general invitation to
those interested in the subject met
with cordial response, and a number
of people were present besides the reg
ular members of the class. Mrs. Bald
win spoke in a charming conversa
tional style that added much to the
pleasure of her inteiested listeners.
She began by saying that she wished
the thlk to be as informal as possible
and that she would be glad of any sug
gestion or criticism where-difference of
opinion might arise..’ >
To Cultivate! Hearting.
One of the best wiys, Mrs. Baldwin
said, to cultivate the taste for reading
in a child is to introduce him early
to good literature by reading aloud.
With the very little child the use of
pictures, good, clear, simple pictures,
she said, was invaluable, as the pic
tures of animal life, for instance, to
be found in linen nursery books, for
through them he may be taught the
names of various parts of the animal’s
body, and if argument were needed, it
is to be found in the universal interest
of children in the act of naming and
finding these parts.; The first stories
should be simple accounts of everyday
events which are more absorbing to
the little children than adven
tures or strange tales. The “Susv”
books, Mrs. Baldwin said, are
an old collection of stories for very
little children —from 2 to 4 years of age
—and another good nursery book is
Laura E. Richards’ "Five-Minute Sto
ries.” A pleasant feature of the morn
ing was when,to illustrate the value of
such books, Mrs. Baldwin read a pas
sage from one of the “Susy” books, and
then one of Miss Richards’ stories about
how a little girl made New Year calls.
Fairy Tales the Thing.
Later, she said, the child should un-g
doubtedly have fairy tales, howevty
some modern educators may oppose
the theory, for the whole world Is a
wonderbook to the young, and to fancy
a fairy within the curving mystery of
a rose is no more marvelous to him
than the rose itself. . There is certainly
an age. Mrs. Baldwin continued, when
the child-nature demands myths, his
imagination needs food no less than
the other faculties of his soul, and it
is a mistake to deprive him of the
means of satisfying his mental hunger
:When so much has been beautifully pro
i vided. Mrs. Baldwin ask-ed Miss
Backus to add her plea upon this point,
as having dealt s* long with little chil
dren and having made an especial
study of this branch of the subject.
It is Certainly pretty generally con-

ceded, Miss Backus said in response,
that the stages of mental development
correspond to the different ages of
man’s civilization, and that children
must pass through the various epochs
from barbarism to culture. Each period
has its own needs which must bo met
if the child is to be properly and ra
tionally developed, and if he is shut
out from those things which Ills nature
demands the intellect is dwarfed.
The Mytli Making Age.
“The myth making age of
childhood corresponds to that era of
unenlightened man when the wonders
of nature were still unexplained for
him by physical laws, when dryads
dwelt in trees, and he worshiped sun,
moon and stars for the unseen power
behind them. To the child, Miss Back
us said, the world is full of marvels,
his busy mind must make stories about
it. as did his barbarian ancestors, and
if we give him fairy tales and esjieeially
the old world myths, we supply what
his heart desires and what must there
fore be of real value.
Mrs. Baldwin then resumed her talk
which was in substance as follows:
Bonks to Be Heart.
“In venturing to give a list for chil
dren’s reading, I have chosen with
great care, leaving out, of course, a
great many which may, with advan
tage, be added. Not wishing tp make
the list too long I have only named
such books as have formed the reading
of a child just now thirteen, who has
read them not once, but each one many
times. AH children love to read their
hooks over, and should be encouraged
to do so. that they may forn> the habit
of not merely tasting, but of digesting
and assimilating their mental food.
All our good hooks should be as famil
iar as' the faces of friends, and a hook
only worth reading onoe is not worth a
place oa our library shelves.
to‘'Care should be taken to guide a
cnild's tastes and form them by a great
deal of reading aloud from the earliest
age to ten years. Left to themselves
children will often choose trash, be
cause it Is easiest to understand, but
they can he pleased with anything by
the Intelligent reading and explanation
of a grown person. Their tastes once
formed for good English, thetr inter
est aroused in history and science by
the interest and co-operation of their
elder”, and they have a treasure for
life—one they never lose. You have
given them an inheritance, and taken
the first step towards making a culti
vated man or woman.'
The Yonng Children.
“Young children should be made fa
miliar with good poetry—not ‘Baby
hood’ magazines full of trashy rhymes.
Read to the babies ’Mother Goose,’
Lear's ‘Nonsense Rhymes,’ Laura E.
Richards' 'ln My Nursery,’ the sweet
old English and Scotch songs, and the
selections relating to animals and chil
dren fr.om the ’’< ’hildren's Book of Poe
try," complied by Coates.
“Very young children, say of 6 to 8
years, can appreciate such poems as
“The Falls of Lodore" (Southey),
“Chevy Cha3e,” “Horatius," “King
John and the Abbot of Canterbury,”
and many others. I have known a
child of 4 to demand “The Lady of
Shallott” to be read over and over
again. She did not understand the
meaning—lt was the beauty of the
words, the rhyme and the rhythm that
appealed to her ear and gave her
pleasure.
“The ’Alice' tatoks. the jungle sto
ries, ‘Black Beauty,’ Seton-Thomp
son’s stories of animals, are loved and
understood by children of 4, and thejf
are most valuable in their influence,
cultivating a tenderness and sympathy
for the helpless, and love and under
stand for the animal world. Hans An
derson's Fairy Tales should be the
daily food of the kinders from 3 years
old up. That is a classic, every story
fine and strong, full of feeling and
truth, and understanding of God’s
world In which we live. They culti
vate fancy and feeling together, in
culcate a love of. Ngture, of God, of
truth and purity. Of all books for
children this is first and greatest.
Teach History Early,
"I should begin early to teach his*
tory through stories. French and
English history are fascinating study,
and may be made so delightful that a
child can become very familiar with
the main points without any drudg
ery or especial effort at memorizing.
Take English history, for instance;
read aloud the “Child's History of
England” (Dickens), and pause at ap
propriate points to read a story illus
trating that period. Read the short
history of the Savon reigns, and then
selections from Agnes Strick
land's delightful “Stories from
English History;’’ go on through
the Normans, reading more of her sto
ries. Read the Plantagenets, and stop
for “Ivanhoe" and the "Talisman.” At
the reign of Edward 111, read Conan
Doyle’s "White Company;" for Henry
V. Yonge's “The Caged Lion:” for
Charles I and II there are several good
novels; for James 11, Conan Doyle's
“Micah Clarke.” and so on. No dry
historic record of facts and dates could
fix in a child' trjind an impression of
the England of Elizabeth’s day, half
so vivid as that gained from reading
“Kenilworth" and “Westward Ho,” nor

Vnealion Stories.
-“Many other things can be equally
easily taught. In summer vacations
tuke Maeterlinck’s "Life of the Bee,” or
Comstock’s “Insect Life," or Blanch
ard's “Bird Neighbors," ar I go out
into the woods and fields, and in a week
you and the child are equally absorbed
and delighted in studying nature, and
anew interest is added to its life. To
educate a child is pot to stuff him with
facts; it Is rather to stimulate his curi
osity and interest and then to show
him the way to gratify them. First
make him want to know, then teach
him how to find out, and half your
work is done. All children love to read
if they are properly helped at first
by being read to and talked
to about hooks, if difficult words
and ideas are explained, and
suggestions given, and jokes pointed
out. Avery little guidance of this kind
is enough. I would suggest to the
young mother that the twilight hour s
a goodi time to give to the children's
reading. They are tired of play and
ready to he still, and tf mother will
have a regular hour just before tea to
go into the nursery and take the tiny
bov or girl into her lap with the older
ones close by, to rock and read and
talk, that hour will soon come to be
thought the best In the day, and to be
excluded from it, the worst (if punish
ments. The enjoyment of such pleas
ures together Is a strong tie between
mother and child, drawing them very
closely together. In the laughter and
tears over books they learn to know
and love each other better, and such
deaf intercourse will more than repay
a mother In the end for any thing she
may have to give up, in keeping the
“Children’s Hour" sacred to them.
Read with your children, teach them
to love good books, and good people in
books, and every hero and heroine
Shall be an incentive to do right, an
example for them to follow; and when
after years shall take them away from
home and mother, who can say that
amid the temptations of college, busi
ness or pleasure, such memories of hap
py hours together may not prove the
tie too strong to break which binds
your boy or girl to the straight and
narrow path, when the broad road that
leads to destruction opens tempting
before them.

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia aart Stomach
Trouble.
Instantly Ilcllcxcd anti Permanent
ly Cured hy Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
A New Diseocery. But Not a Patent
Medieine.
Dr. Red well relates an interesting ac
count of what he considers a remark
able case of acute stomach .trouble
and chronic dyspepsia by the use of
the-new discovery, Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets. \
He says-: “The patient was *a man
who had suffered, to my knowledge,
for years with dyspepsia. Everything
he ate seemed to sour and create gases
in the stomach. He had pains like
rheumatism in the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullness and distress
after eating, poor appetite and loss
flesh; the heart became effected, caus
ing palpitation and sleeplessness *at
night.
"I gave him powerful nerve tonics
and blood remedies, but to no purpose.
As an experiment I finally bought a
50-cent package of Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given, and after he had used four
boxes he was to all appearances fully
cured.
"There was no more acidity or sour,
watery rtsings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and 12 pounds in
weight of solid, healthy flesh.
“Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are advertised and sold on drug
stores, yet 1 consider them a most
valuable addition io any physician's
line of remedies, as they are perfectly
harmless and can be given to children
or invalids or in any condition of the
stomach with perfect safety, being
harmless and containing nothing but
fruit and vegetable essences, pure pep
sin and Golden Seal.
“Without any question they are. the
safest, most effective cure for indi
gestion. biliousness, constipation and
all derangements of the stomach, how
ever slight or seveia,’*
