It is then that the mind is freest from r jr,.-. the imagination unhampered, the memory most retentive, the eve brightest, ..nd the nature most susceptible. What a bo\ reads in this period becomes so indelibly impressed upon his nature that it becomes a part of his very character. This is a time when a parent’s responsibility is greatest, his not enough to tell the boy what lie ought to become. Most boys are not overly susceptible to didactic teaching. You can usually lead him a mile easier than you can drive him a rod. See that he has the proper surroundings, and a little encouragement, and it is surprising how readily he develops a taste for the best in literature. Let that taste be developed, and there is little danger as to his future. It was Dr. Philips Brooks Who said; “Show me what books a boy reads, and I will read you Ms destiny. How important it is. then, that your home should be provided with books of the highest character. Fairy tales, and even, perhaps. “ Buffalo Bill” stories, have their place as developers of a taste for reading, a sort of literary milk, as it were, but unless the boy soon shows a preference for the stronger meat of practical knowledge, history, travel, etc., you may be sure that he is mentally unsound, or that there has been something radically wrong In his education. The Encyclopedia Britannica has rightly been termed “the concentrated essetce of the whole world’s wiMom.” Let your boy read its interesting pages, and he’will soon look with disdain upon “ flashy ” literature. We are continually underestimating a boy’s capacity for large ideas. There is nothing so attractive as truth. Give him the material [ out of which to construct large ideas. Put Britannica in the home, where he can consult 1 it continually, and as he attains manhood he will find no place in literary or professional life to which he may not aspire. Seize the present opportunity to provide a proper library for your home. It requires an I Investment of but Ten Cents a day, if you order from The Atlanta Constitution while it may be had at Intrnductony prices. RO I 1 Mire?/ Rootbeer I n>ke« the lioiaa circle complete.
