Value of the Local PAPER.

One value OF the local newspaper is aptly
set forth In this:-The local paper should be
found in every home. No children should
grow up ignorant who can be taught to ap-
preciate the home paper. 1t Is said to be the
stepping stone of intelligence in all those
matters not to be learned In books. Give
your children foreign paper which contains
not one word about any person, place or
thing they ever saw or perhaps ever heard
of, and how could you expect them to be in
terestedp But let them have the home paper
and read of whom you meet and of places
with which they are familiar, and soon an
interest is awakened which increases with
every arrival of the local paper. Thus a
habit Of reading Is formed, and those chill.
dren will read the papers oil their lives and
become intelligent men and women, n credit
