WHAT DOES YOUR CHILD READ !?
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1903, by Edwin A. Nye.

A Pennsylvania youth, having fed his
imagination on dime novels, had turn
ed holdup man.
The ''car bandits" mere lads OF Chi
cago, who shot policemen and made a
reign Of terror, ending their career at
the gallows, confessed they got their
cue for outlawry from yellow backed
novels.
Note the law of assimilation.
The law is this: One is assimilated-
changed, transformed-into the likeness
of that which he loves and admires.
If the boy admires the desperate he
will want to be like him.
Therefore the danger in the book that
makes hero Of a bad man. The boy
will be warped into the likeness of a
bad man.
There is plenty of this literature,
more's the pity, which puts a Jesse
James or Frank Tracy up on pedes-
tai of success for worship.
Watch the books your boy reads.
And by the same token
Look into the books read by your girl.
The heroine of your girls book will
influence her imagination. Her ideals,
like the ideals Of the boy, will trans
form her.
Many of the current novels read by
girls and catalogued as harmless are
not only trashy, but dangerous. Be
cause they are not true to life. They
give distorted views of the real world.
The girl gets false ideals. Her fancy
is filed with diseased imaginings. She
is thus mentally untitled. She is lay
ing up for herself discomfort and IN
happiness, because her life will not
come up to her ideals.
Good fiction has its place.
Watch over the childs ideals.
Do you remember Hawthorne's story
Of 1.-THE Great Stone FaceT'
Legend said: Some day a great and
good man would come and stand by
the noble stone face in the mountain,
and his face would be like the stone
face. A boy looked every day for
years on the stone face. He admired
the face. He learned to love it. One
day. grown to manhood, he stood by
the stone face, and, 10. every one saw
that his face had been changed into the
likeness of the stone! His face had
been transformed into the close resem
blance of the face that he admired.
Which is a true fable of the power
OF an ideal. But
Suppose the stone face had been an
evil face, hideous and a cruel facet
