SUBURBAN PAGEE
HOW TO READ
REV. HUGH BLACK GIVES
SOME POINTERS.
Speaks to Outlook Club in Montclair.
Better Steal a Book Than Read
1t in Library"

The Rev. Hugh Black, a professor
in Union Theological Seminary, New
York. lectured before the Outlook Club,
of Montclair. in Club Hall. Montclair,
last night on Books and Reading"
The hall was crowded to its utmost
capacity when the lecturer was intro
duced by the Rev. Harry Emerson
FosdicS, president Of the club.
Il nav often noticed emigrants ar
irving in this country wearing great
large tickets on their breast" said Mr..
Black. Indeed l have invariably felt
sorry for them, knowing that they
were in a strange country and spoke a
strange language and liable to take a
wrong train. But tonight 1 felt as II
/ wanted to be ticketed because l too
the wrong train. A man who doesn't
know enough to take the right train
has no right to lecture to anybody
about anything"
Some students, he said, have learned
the art of studying. but not of read
ing. which is a great misfortune. In
fact, the great trouble with the Amer
lean people is that they have not time
to read, he said.
II often think that it is a great pity
we lost SO much time in learning to
read" he said.
'fn choosing your books 1t is a good
PLAN" said Mr.. Black, not lone to
choose what to read, but what not to
read. Now as to newspapers, we could
do with less of them, but it doesn't do
to do without them. An English states
man once used to brag that he never
read a newspaper. What was the re-
suit? He was soon ousted.
Emerson said, Read only old books;
read only famous books; read what
you like L would recommend the
same. We should not forget the pres
ent-day authors. If we speak always
in praise of the past we are doing a
great injury to the present. Some peo-
pie are always speaking in favor of
the past"
He told of an old lady in England
who met Mr.. Milliken, OF London
Punch, and old him that Punch was
not as good as it used to be.
mo, madam" replied Mr.. Miiliken-
at rever Isl
"If you only read what you ought to
read, and don't read what you like,
you will be a very unpleasant party to
take a walk WITH" added Mr.. Black.
81 don't recommend any books to you,
because it is like recommending a wife
to a young man. He has got to choose
for himself, although l might pick one
out, some with many good qualities
You should read the books your TASTE
calls for. One author might have g
magic touch for you n he might moi
: for me.
"I am sometimes amused at the com
muters. They buy almost everything
) but books. They come home loade'
with parcels. but not a book. Now,
don't care whether this is reported ii
the or not. 1 say it is bet
ter to buy a book than to borrow. l
is better to borrow than to steal. blu
it is better to steal a boo than to rea,
it in a library. A library is a goo'
place to wait for a train, but 1t is n
place to read a book. BY all mean
own you own book"

DTPHTHERIA SCARE
OUTBREAK IN SCHOOL IN
EAST ORANGE.
One Pupil Dead and Several Others Ill
from Elmwood School-Authori-
ties Aroused.

Many new cases of diphtheria have
occurred recently. among pupils of the
Elmwood Public School, of East
Orange, and parents in that section are
alarmed, despite the efforts being made
by Health Inspector William T. Bow
man and Principal Charles IL. De
Kroyft to prevent a further spread OF
the disease. Since the school opened
for this term about eight cases have
developed. One proved fatal n sev-
eral of the children are suffering with
sore throats. The disease has devei-
oped among pupils in the three first
grade rooms, the third year room ana
kindergarten
One of the first cases thai developed
occurred on September IS, when a boy
living in Elmwood emu was taken
ill with the disease, and q few days
later a child living at 81 Eppirt street
developed the disease
Ten days ago another child residing
in Clinton street, south, showed EVIL
dences of suffering from diphtherla,
and a physician soon confirmed the re-
pert. Another case developed at 20
Eppirt street. and this pupil was also
found to be suffering with the disease.
The case of Pearl Axt, 5 years old,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Axt,
of 2O3 Rhode Island avenue, was fatal.
The child attended the kindergarten
class and she died last Saturday. Since
then two new cases have developed
among the school children. They are
at ITO West street and 40 Esprit street.
Another child who was visiting at
81 Eppirt street was taken ill with the
disease yesterday morning. This child
lives in Chicago and has been visiting
in East Orange only a few days. Sew
eraI children were sent home from the
school yesterday ,nffering with sore
Threats. These children are instructed
TO inform their parents at once of any
uncomfortable feelings.
Statistics are being kept of all the
cases, and as yet none of the cases
can be traced directly to a previous
case. Because of the spread of the dis
ease among pupils attending the school
several of the parents have refused to
allow their children to attend until
all the danger is passed.
Fifteen children are being kept out
of school by such cautious parents, and
about as many more are also compelled
to stay at home because a member OF
the family is suffering with the dis
ease. Six or eight others are also re-
quested to stay at home as they com
plain Of sore threats.
Health Inspector Bowman admitted
yesterday that the disease was spread
ing among the children n that all
precautions to prevent additional cases
had as yet proved of no avail. The
principal of the school has been unable
as vet to discover the connecting link
between the cases. That children in the
school are not altogether responsible for
the spread of the disease he declares is
evidenced in the fact that a child Wis.,
iting a family in Eppirt street had con-
tracted the disease. This child has
been in East Orange only a few days
and has been playing with other chill
dren in the neighborhood.

BABY FOUND IN LOT
ABOUT A MONTH OLD AND
WAS NEARLY DEAD.
Had Been Abandoned by Unknown
Woman in West Orange and
Dogs Discovered It.

A female infant about a month old was
found in a vacant lot near Mississippi
avenue, West Orange, early last night,
half starved to death. This is the third
infant to be found under similar cireum-
stances in the town during the last two
months,
Arthur Willis, of Harrison avenue, West
Orange. was exercising his dogs rear the
lot, and while they were running toward
a clump of bushes they started to bark
loudly. Willis hurried to the spot, and
discovered the infant, which wore clothing
of a poor texture. 1t was wrapped in a
black shawl.
Police Chief Bamford, of West Orange.
was notified, and he had the babe removed
to the Orange Memorial Hospital in the
Record ambulance.
The baby showed signs Of neglect, and
1t had apparently been left to die. A
woman was seen on a trolley car bound
| toward the end of the line in the town
late in the afternoon carrying an infant
in a black shawl, and it is believed an
arrest will be made by the police. The
woman was probably from this city.
