We come into possession of
knowledge of the world about us, if ;
at all, either by reading or fry listen-

But we common people rarely have !
an opportunity of feasting our minds J

mission for which they were destined.
The influence of good books has
wrought wonderful changes in tim
character, disposition and future
usefulness of many of the world’s
best and ablest men.
In early life, the child must get
liis ideas from a study of nature and
human nature, and from books ho
acquires a neat association and ex
press!on of these ideas. Words do
not convey ideas, but merely aid the
'"hid in re-collecting and combining
tho fVas already stored in tho mind
from a sr».R» 0 f nature and human
nature. Books are good in that
they vivify and exageratc the ideas
already in the mind. Then Aye may

If children were taught reading
properly, they would feel and realize
a greater interest in good books and
newspapers, and, as a result, our
citizenship would assume a loftier
and more dignified phase and would
approximate a plain beyond re-
proach.
Every parent should furnish bis
children with good books and bv ox-
ample encourage their use. Many
a life has been and is being wasted
from lack of proper environments.
Life is too dear and time is too pre¬
cious to bo spent sifting tho dust of
trashy literature vainly searching for
food upon which to satiate tho appe¬
tite of onr hungry minds, The
world is full of good books whose
tendencies are upbuilding, ennobling-
