Children Should Read Aloud.
ON the Milwaukee, Journal


Reading aloud well is an accompli shment
ranking next to music as a means Of enter
tainpent at home and in the family circle
In past generation. the long winter even
ings were looked forward to with pleasing
anticfpations which were realized when
they were chiefly spent at home and going
to parties was the exception. The father
mother and children all gathered in the
common living room, and one read aloud
while others busted themselves with some
hand-work, and all, save very small ones,
who had an early bed time, listened with
attention and interest. There Is much talk
just now about the study of child nature
1t would astonish some of these students
could they know how much Of good litera-
ture intended for mature minds was COM
pretended and appreciated by children when
they were given a chance to become ac-
quainted with it. SCOTS novels paradise
Lost. SCOTS poems. and other similar
reading, have been strong factor in form
ing good taste in literature when heard
by children. from seven to ten years Of age
Such children have Of their own volition
Lake. '"The Lay of the Last Minstrel" and
| many small poems Of great merit. One
lady, recently dead. took pleasure, when
long past her eightieth year, in repeating
hood. -.
! There is too much light and trashy read
ing for children. They are left too much to
themselves in choice of books. Parents are
too apt to be engrossed In their own pursuits
to give their children the proper training in
reading aloud at home. Too much depend
ence is placed on their being taught at
school. At school there is not sufficient
time to give each child all the exercise in
this that is needed. Reading aloud should
be home habit. One principal Of school
has recognized this. and is making an effort
to encourage children In the habit. He
gives credit to children for home reading
aloud, and asks report from the parents,
and also gives the pupil an opportunity to
tell to his class the things he has read. The
responsibility Of childs education is not
wholly the teachers The teacher is simply
to supplement the efforts Of the parent, to
supply what it is inconvenient or impossible
Tor the parent to give. Schools are not in
tended to take parents place.

"Manywhere" a Good Word.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Lord Avebury's suggestion about many

restore ancient liberty to the English
tongue. There once was a time when a
poet (Shakespeare) could say: How happy
some DER othersome can be-" "Othersome"
was a wel-knit, forcible word, and was
therefore a good word. Another poet (Hey-
wood was even holder. Some like this kind
of food. says Haywood. and some like that
kind; but of all somes none is displeased
to be welcome" The reception that would
be given to ''somes' by the purists and pre-
cisans who have since tried to prune and
shave and stunt the English language can
be readily imagined by any person who has
been coerced or caJoled into reading "rhet-
oric books which contain a complete set
or rules for elevating the writing Of English
from an art into a craft The Elizabeth

Another result OF American civilization
has been extravagant living. People live
more extensively and save less. The old
fashioned headgear Of white lace, worn by
the women. lasting lifetime and always
becoming. has been superseded by expen-
sive hats and bonnets requiring several
changes during the year. The zarape, the
handsome blanket worn by the men. is
yielding supremacy to the costlier coat.
American coaches. American horses and
American automobiles fill the narrow
streets, and nowhere is there a greater
contrast between wealth and poverty. At
the same time this has been an incentive,
and for the first time In the history Of the
country prosperous middle class Is spring
ing up.
So rapid have been the changes in this,
the most interesting city on the American
continent. that the public has hardly been
able to keep pace with the spirit Of prog
ress. This has largely been due to the ad-
vent Of the railroads and President Diax's
able administration. II always support

MONEY ORDER FOUND.
Completed the Mail Matter In Pouch
stolen mt WinOOskf.

A bit of excitement was created in Wi
nooski last evening by the report that the
balance OF the contents of the stolen mail
pouch had been recovered and the thieves
arrested. The basis Cor the rumor was as
follows:
About seven o'clock man went
into the Winooski postofllce and inquired
about a firm doing business in town, and
after securing the information departed
Shortly afterwards young man came in
and presented money order for payment
The order was payable to the firm about
which the man had inquired a few min
utes before and aroused the suspicious of
SUPERINTENDENT Pine. He held the boy and
sent his assistant TO Il nearby store to
telephone for the assistant postmaster and
Sheriff Horton at Burlington. When they
arrived Justice Graves, Grand Juror Henry
Conlin and Officer Bergeron were called
in. and a consultation was held. The boy
was questioned and IL was learned that he
and another boy were walking on the
tracks below the station and found the
money order. They showed 1t to the man
who came to the Office for informa ton and
asked his opinion about 1t.
The second boy and the man referred to
were sent for and brought In, and the
story as told by the first boy was corrobo-
rated and all parties were released, The
money order recovered completed the list
of missing mail matter, and so far as
known everything that came in the pouch
the night previous to the robbery is ac-
counted for.
