IL pleasant 10 ma, S we DO
in the literary supplement of The
l. Chicago Record Herald for June
29an admirably written reply by
a girl of seventeen, in the fourth year
of the high school course in an Illinois
town, to a widely copied article from
the New York, sun on What Boys and
Girls Read quoting an unnamed Ii
brarian's remarkable statements. The
statements in question We're of char
acter that stirred the surprise and in
dignation of many of the ordinary
girls of whom the librarian in ques-
ton said: Boys naturally read good
books, find history and biogra ply full
of force and dramatic action, while
sirls, almost from their infancy, turn
TO maudlin, sickly, and injurious love
stories"
At the time the sun article appeared
We were tempted TO refer to it. with
evidence. of which there is any amount
on hand thoroughly contradictory so
far as the "aVerase or ordinary"
girl in most places is concerned, Of
ny him, had to say. If we remember
Alright the librarian" was spoken of
as from New England city-a section
where culture" is supposed to exist
n force. That made the article more
surprising Comment on il was crowd
I'd out at the time. But II is worth
giving now d eoodly share of the
'eply OF Miss Mary Cunningham of
Mount Greenwood, Illinois, the writer
OF the letter in question.
She speaks first of John Ruskin's very
different judgment who advised the
'ather TO turn his daughter into the
library. as you turn a fawn into a
ield, and she will know the bad weed
.wenty times Better than you, and will
cad the .geed books" This same
Ruskin says. of books of hunting and
adventuts and fighting" which the
librarian in question commends so
1ighly, that they become dangerous
~ their excitement, render the ordin-
lry course of life uninteresting and in
Yrease the morbid thirst for useless ac-
luaintanceship with scenes in which
We shall never be called upon TO act"
Miss Cunningham proceeds. THE
writer of the article says, II have
ried my best to interest girls in books
which will take them out of themselves.
I is quite useless The question sug-
tests itself, is it safe to interest one
book which so takes him out OF
himself that he becomes absorbed in
IN unreal. unnatural, impossible life ?
\ This is what my books do, partlc-
Nlarly those books which the writer
plainly states boys love. The greater
number of boys of average abilities
.are for no books at all. In my expert
,nce the girls are always the readers.
