WHY LADIES SHOULD READ NEwspApEEs-lt
is a great mistake in female education to keep a
Young ladys time and attention devoted to only
the fashionable literature of the day. If you
would qualify her for conversation, you must
give her something to talk about; give her edu-
cation with this actual world and its transpirlhg 6
events. Urge her to read newspapers and be-
come familiar with the present character and
Improvement of our race. History is Of some
Importance but the past world is dead, and we
have nothing to do with it. Our thoughts and
concerns should be for the present world, 10
know what it is and improve the condition of it.
Let her have an intelligent opinion and be able
to sustain m intelligent conversation concerning
the mental, moral, political and religious inn
provemcnt Of our times. Let the gllded allnu'
als and poems on the centra table Lc kept part
of the time covered with weekly yand daily Journals.
Let the whole familv-men women and children
read the newspapers.
