Twenty-dollar gold pieces OF the

You can not make reader of good

are adapted to much reading. You
find very able people who read few
books, and mostly trash, and people
Of less ability who read more, and
much better ones. You find also inter
estipg differences in the facility with
which different people take in the
sense Of printed words. Some people
from childhood read very much faster

eyes seem to connect quicker with
their brains. and their perception OF
words and rows of words is almost
instantaneous. Other people never en-
