Boosting Good Books.


Decadent taste in reading is not con-
fined to any country it seems. Com
plants are common here that the peo-
pie read too much trash. and recently
some educators in England have taken
up the subject with a view to improv-
ing the stock on the public library
shelves. Now from Germany comes a
report Of a new plan to foster in peo-
pie who have the reading habit a taste
for good literature.
The German idea is to deliver to the
home Of every applicant at a nominal
cost for use for n week a thrilling
novel, certain to be read and appre-
ciated. This is the bait. If a second
book is ordered one Of a higher class
than the first will be sent, and the
third, II called for, will be still better,
and so on until the reader has desire
for none but the best literature. We
think sometimes that we have that
stage of education to deal with here
and that the dime novel and the
Shilling shocker" create a reading ap-
petite which will not be wholly sat
isfied until It feeds upon something
substantial. II reading Is only a phase
Of the eternal search for new sensa-
tons it is possible that the uplift can
be applied to literature by the German
plan with good results.

The Common Brick.

In q recent publication treating Of
our mineral resources and issued by
the geological survey considerable at
tention is given to the common brick.
Here at least is a natural resource
which is not likely to be soon ex-
hausted. Good clay for brick is found
in every state Of the Union. and the
annual product Of the whole country
ranges up to nearly $20,OO0.OO0. Last
year the two states leading in this in
dustry, New York and Illinois. pro-
duced nearly 100000, 900 brick, hav-
ing. a market value of $13,50O,OO0. The
average price Of brick for the whole
country in 1907 was Sc per thousand.
It has been supposed that concrete
was destined to drive brick out Of gen.
eral use. For foundations to frame
buildings concrete is much used as a
substitute for brick in regions where
1t is produced in convenient form.
But concrete is still on trial among
conservative people. The cheap 0 n
crete building block has not been thor
oughly tested for structures higher
than two stories. Even with concrete
as a competitor brick must hold its
own. It al be produced near where
1t is wanted, and this is a saving on
cost. Materials for concrete are not
so we'll distributed over the land. or
If they are the beds are yet to be dis
covered. In value brick constitutes
approximately 40 per cent Of all
clay products.
