Books for Children.

An Atlanta educator has made out a list

about the desirabiity OF parental super
vision Of Juvenile books. He says that
parents should know what their children
are reading. and that, on account of the
natural secretiveness OF the youthful ma
ture very few Of them do know
There is some truth in this, but it can
hardly be said that children are as a rule
naturally inclined to deceit in these mat
tiers. The imperfection OF home training
has something to do with it. In many
cases the child is restricted 10 80 limited

they should take care TO provide plenty Of
good ones. The average child's desires,

food. either material or Intellectual, the
appetite may become depraved.
There is almost an exact analogy be-
tween the needs OF the body and those OF
