THE EVIL OF BAD BOOKS.

With alarming frequency there is re-
curranoe of disclosures relating To the
pnrnicious influence of bad literature upon
the young OF both EcXes. Within the last
few days the washington police have OBJ
tained conducive evidence of the existence
of a band of youthful thieves whose minds
were inflamed by the reading of the
cheap literature detective stories and such
ike. with which the country is flooded.
The idea OF censorship, literary or other
wise, is intensely repuEnant to the American
mind, vet ina case like this, discriminating
ly exercised, the wedding process would be
an inastlmable blessing. In the absence OF
the official censor, however, that duty
devoIves upon the parents, who are 10 blame,
In nine cases out of ten. for that the bent
OF their children is toward flashy literature
There arefew, very few, ,Amcricanparents
who are not qualified to exercise a proper
surveillance ova the reading OF their chill
dren. What they lack in literary knowl-
edge is made up 10y natural intelligence
and good judgment. 1t is their duty,
therefore. as far as possible, TO see to it
that no books having a vicious tendency
fan into their clildren's hands.
II is true that parents cannot always know
what books their boys may read when
away from home, but by precept and eX-
ample they can do much TO make lashy
/ books OF periodicals lose attracionfor their
children. Home influence is far-reaching,
1 and in no direction can it be more benefi-
/ ciaIv exercised than that aboveindica a ted.
/ Parents can save themselves much sorrow
ana their children a great deal Of trouble
/ by needing this advice.
