BOOK LOVING CHILDREN.

Taste For Literature Should Be
Encouraged and Wisely Guided.
To the child who opens his mind to the
deep truths of poetry, the forerunner of
science, life looks simple and easy, and
he learns to attach himself to duty before
duty assumes that hard, complicated as
pect which it usually presents later on.
1t is the child averSe from the first to
books, inimical in every fiber to study,
who is the intractable child, rebellious
against order because his nature is in
harmonious with it's own laws. Books
themselves, mere print and paper, are
only trash except as they are symbols of
the life of thought and imagination. But
in our day they are symbols almost insep-
arabic from it, and so the child who nat
urally forms an early friendship for
books shows that the trend of his mind
is upward, along the higher paths of life.
Let the advanced educationalists say
their say. We who have followed them
with anxiety through all their expert
MEETINGS have learned that our faith in
literature, science and philosophy as a
trinity was a faith founded on q rock.
Science divorced from her mates is a
skeleton, and bereaved and defrauded is
that child who is kept so closely to facts
that he comes to despise poetry and re-
mains a stranger to romance. A child's
literary life is a secret no adult can ever
wholly penetrate, but when an enthusiast
tic temperament takes books as intimate
companions there is reason for watching
the result with anxiety. What is read
and thought by day enters into dreams,
works into the deepest recesses of our
being and becomes part of our brain it
self If a child talks seldom of what he
reads, he thinks the more. Secretiveness
sometimes hides a turbulent mental ac-
tiYity, and shy exterior can conceal
strange broodings But an omnivorous
taste, which is very common, should not
be left without some subtle, unobtrusive
guidance. Most of us who have lived
much with books are influenced today
more than we should probably like to ac-
knowledge by "reminiscences of our child
ish literary life.-Florence Hull Winter

PLEASANT ENTERTAINMENT
Band Concert Given at the German Luther
an Church Friday Night a Success.

The most enjoyable entertainment
given at the German Lutheran school
during the year, was the band concert
last night by the Compton military
band, under the auspices of the Young
Peoples society of the church.
The hall was packed to the door and
every number on the program was
greeted with hearty encore, and the
evening was made more enjoyable by
a solo by Mrs. Compton and reading
by Miss Hazel Leonard. The concert
was financial as we'll as an artistic
success and netted the society a neat
sum of money.

The Department of Public Instruc-
ton at Madison has completed the
high school apportionment of state
funds for the year. Owing to the in
crease in the state appropriation for
the support of free high schools made
by the Bisse11 bill at the last session of
the Legislature, the schools will get
about twice the amount received last
year. The schools will get this year
500, 350.48, and this will give the great
ma iority, or those schools which spend
more than 81, 900 year for the pay of
teachers, each $494.75.
A good story is being told in regard
to one of the primary teachers in the

hearing a recitation in grammar, and
the class was composed largely of the
smaller students. The teacher wrote
the three words, ''bees, bear, boys" on
the board and asked the pupils to write
sentence containing the three
words She was quite taken back a
few minutes later when~one of the
brightest boys in the class handed in
the following: "Boys bees bear when
they go in swimmin'.''
