The local paper should be found
in every home. No child should
grow up ignorant who can be taught
to appreciate the home paper. 1t
is said to be the stepping stone to
intelligence. Give your children
foreign paper which contains not
word about any person, place or
thing which they have ever seen or
heard of, and now could you ever
expect them to become interested9
But let them have a home paper,
read of people whom they meet and
know, of places with which they
are familiar and soon an interest is
awakened which increases with
every arrival of local papers all
their lives, and they become intelli-
gent men and women, a credit to
their ancestors and strong to the
knowledge of the world.
