THE HOME AND THE PUBLIC IL
BRARY.

A family interest in books is itself an
educating influence and will cOunteract
much injudiciOus selection of library
books, acting both as a stimulating
force and lis il restraining power, teach
ing patience in choice and tending to-
ward the cultivation of best literature.
Fiction is we'll known to be the de-
pdrtment which gives greatest interest
to the public and it is undoubtedly
used in excess, fault which might be
cOunteracted in measure by home
discussion and reading in common.
Many ladies have yielded to indOl-
ence of thought to such an unfortunate
extent that they cannot concentrate
their attention upon history or biogra
ply, or, in fact, anything bat stories.
If all members of the family united in
choosing its literature, stronger food
probably would be required. Force of
habit in reading is IA strong chain, but.
it can be broken by sympathetic per-
suasiOn. If the son SAYS to the daugh-
ter, "My dear sister, here is "a book
which You would appreciate as well as
one of Mrs. Holmes novels. 1t is
Boots and Saddles by Mrs Elizabeth
Custer, which have enjoyed immense
ly." 1t is likely that the sister in
good natured desire to please her bro
ther, would acquire a taste for light
travels, which she might extend by a
voyage i'm ''the yacht Sunbeam" and
trip to the north pole on the Greedy
expedition.
The reading public like the Atheni-
ans are ever on the lookout for 'sOme
new thing and instead of following
the example of that sensible individ-
ual, who like Emerson, never reads
book until it is year old, has an all
absorbing taste for new literature.
"My mother would like one of the new
novels" demands the small boy of the
librarian, as if the only characteristic
of book was novelty. If the directors
have chosen wisely, not much harm
except a waste of time would be deriv-
ed from this absurdly common method
of choosing "a book, but a previous
family discussion would result i'm a
wiser method. Some thoughtful mem
bers may have learned the status of
the book market by a careful reading
of the book reviews in the most reliable
periodicals. By giving this informa-
ton to the buster portions, they wonId
help the choice of books and cause a
novel or historical treatise or travels to
be chosen not on account of its novelty
merely, but because it is some good
new thing. '+If you would like rest
fnl novel," the discussion might begin.

Eliot carefully, both in her books and
life,- another member exclaims enthus-
iastically. If one is interested i'm
certain subject in science, the reader of
the book reviews would mention the
publication of valuable book on that
topic and the librarian would be spared
much importantly. A winters even
