Give your children foreign paper which
contains not one word about any person,
place or thing which they ever saw or
perhaps ever heard of and how could
you expect them to be interested? But

people whom they meet and of places
with which they are familiar and soon
an interest is awakened which increases
with every daily arrival of the local
paper. Thus habit of reading is
formed and those children will read the
papers all their lives and become intel
ligent men and women, a credit to their
ancestors, strong in the knowledge Of
the world as it is today.
