THE PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARY.

Paper read before the Teachers
Normal at Bellefonte, by Prot. Geo.
K. Hopkins, of Newport, Ark.
Many writers tell us that literary
taste is a matter of birth.
To prove the assertion they call
attention to the fact that in high
school classes some pupils manifest
fondness for History, others for
Poetry, still Others for Fiction.
There is a grain of truth in this,
but the strongest influence in form
ing the taste is to be found in the
books that the pupil has read before
reaching the High School.
The mind of child is formed as
his muscles are formed-by food and
exercise, and his earliest mental pab-
ulum is supplied by the jingles of the
nursery, and by the classic tales
which are selected, it is to be hoped
by a judieious mother.
He becomes acquainted with Moth
er Goose-and there is nothing better
for him, provided, always, that it is
the real, simon-pure Mother Goose,
and not the miscellaneous stuff
which masquerades under that
name.
The parent must not think that
any story which amuses a child is
useful. The individual taste has not
at this period of development become
pronounced; the child will accept eny
thing eagerly; story is story; but
the influence of the stories which are
told to him or read to him, is deep
and lasting.
If he is fed upon tales of ogres and
pirates, who eat up little boys, a
taste is formed which will continue
to demand extravagant and blood
curdling fiction. Jack the Giant
Killer is the logical antecedent of
Jack the Indian Killer and Jack the
Ripper, which our children see a lit
tie later on the news stands-more's
the pity.
But why are these last named
books written The answer is easy.
There is a demand for them.
The next important step in the for
nation Of the child's taste is taken
when he finds out the meaning of the
printed words, and wanders away
from his school readers to test for
himself his newly acquired powers.
This is the point at which the
child particularly needs help; and yet
he should he allowed some latitude in
the selection of his reading matter.
If he, himself, chooses one from a
half dozen books, all of which are
good, the chances are that he will
enjoy the reading of it more, and
will get more benefit from It, than Il
it were presented to him as some
thing TO be read only because it
would do him good Let the

The United States government has
just made known its decision that
neither husband nor wife can be sub
ordinant to the other in a govern
ment Office, such state of things be-
ing considered subversive Of discip-
line and good service. This is made
known on the occasion of the chiel
clerk in the United States engineer
ing office at Seattle, Wash, wishing
to marry one of the women clerks
under him.

Fear and timidity are foes to poise
and talents. There's many a silent,
backward girl whose brain does
more business to the square inch than
the brains Of all the chatterboxes
combined. Such a girl often fancies
that everything that others say is so
much cleverer than what she says, so
is ever holding back the speeches
that came to her lips.

Miss Margaret Edmunds, who has

be an organist in the native church,
a bookkeeper, a letter writer and Of

ing the many petty questions that
