7 WATCHED a group of you in the
big plunge at Redondo Beach the
other day, as you were playing
with the flying rings which have been
hung over the water. Your efforts to
make that perilous voyage across the
water on the rings was suggestive of
the trip through life which we all
make, and 1 wondered how many of
you would profit by the experience you
got there and take advantage of the
lesson in your daily life.
The point I thought particularly in
teresting was the way some of you
took advantage of opportunity, while
others failed utterly to consider that as
means to success, and tried by their
own blundering persistence and deter
mination to make their goal in the face
of Encouragement.
Some of the boys-the prudent ones
were careful to time their swing off so
that they caught the ring while it was
at the point just nearest them. They
looked ahead, watched the speed, and
the distance of the next ring, and then
at just the propitious moment made
their own swing, caught the next ring,
and held this until sufficient momentum
was worked up to allow them to reach
easily to the next ring. These boys
could make the trip over and over, and
each time with success and speed.
Others, however, went up on the little
slippery platform and stood there grim
ly determined to make that flight what
ever the circumstance. They gripped
q ring, gave a mighty spring and
swung off in to space. But alas, they
gave no consideration to goal or pro-
pitious moment. The next ring was al
ways just out of arms reach, and, try
as they would, their frantic efforts to
reach it resulted only in shortening
and reducing their own swing, and
eventually tired out with these profit
less efforts, they relaxed and fell into
the pool.
These trials were only for the mo-
ment. Their success or failure meant
nothing permanent for any one. But
there is a bigger and harder fight for
all of us to make, and the reward will

life.
No one sets out in life deliberately
intending to be failure, yet it is un-
fortunately the lot of many men and
women. Perhaps many of these fail
ures could have been prevented if only
a warning had been sounded in time.
Boys and girls should make a study of
the small things which count in life
as we'll as the big ones
We all know that honesty is a most
desirable adjunct of a business career.
How many boys and girls stop to con-
slider that tact and the judgment to
take advantage of good opportunities
are factors of equal Importance in win
ming success.
The approach of Halloween offers an
opportunity just now for relating many
experiences of good times, sorrowful
times or times which proved to be less
amusing than they promised.
Boys and girls can all remember of
many such times and will be glad to
contribute them to make up a good
long list of Halloween stories for the
Halloween number of The Junior.
Affectionately yours,
AUNT LAURIE.

BOOKS FOR CHILDREN

w HEN reading and printing were
w made possible for the majority,
W a new set of problems was added
to the worlds work Now that nearly
everybody reads something, it is the
place of the leaders to see that the
world reads profitable material. Once
the proportion of families in which
good books were a tradition was much
larger than it is today. immigration
means that the task of inducing gener-
ally the reading habit is made many
times as difficult. 1t must be met.
Schools, colleges, libraries and the bet
ter class Of newspapers and magazines
cooperate to this end. Here is an item
which falls under our eye, illustrating
one step taken by a public library in
Massachusetts, which accepts the bur-
den. This particular institution has
published for it's boy and girl patrons
a booklet of thirty-one pages with this
simply phrased foreword:
This is a list of books that we think
you will find interesting. 1t does not
include all the books we have for boys
and girls, but many of the best ones.
Books for very young readers are
omitted from this list. Where the name
of the author is marked you may
know that he has written other books,
though we mention only one. You can
tell what the others are by looking
under the authors name in the card
catalogue at the library. If you want
more books on a particular subject, look
for the subject in the card catalogue, or
ask some one in the library to help you.
There are different kinds of books, as
you know-stories of athletics, of ad-
ventures at sea or among Indians, of
exploits in war, books about famous
people, books about animals, books on
electricity, etc. To know and to like
many kinds of reading will add much
to your enjoyment; so, if you now like
only one or two kinds, we hope this list
may tempt you to venture a little be-
yond your favortes to find new
friends
The booklet then goes on with intel
ligentIy chosen lists under such head
ings as "Stories for Boys" "Stories for
Girls" Occupations for Boys" "Oc-
cupations for Girls" Animals, Birds,
Insects" Famous Old Stories" "Fa-
nous Men and Women" "Our own
Country" "Over the Seas and Far
Away" Books of Poetry" Novels"
The subtended titles range from
Treasure Island" to 1.-THE Jungle
Book" and from alice in Wonderland
to Mrs. Lincolns Cook Book" Doubt
less the whole plan, including the little
hints about progress and ambition in
reading, given in the foreword, will help
some proportion of the boys and girls
of one town to a fuller and more wisely
directed life.-Editorial in Golfers for
February 6.

there was more moss to sit on, and
while thus engaged she heard a sweet
sound, as from the heart of the tree.
What is that, Susan Ann?" she
asked of her doll, and then she lay
one ear against the trunk of the tree
and listened intently.
Could it be possible? But, yes, the
tree was singing. Very family, indeed,
but she could hear it. Then Dovie
knocked on the tree, and the singing
became louder and the words were:
I want to get out. want to get out
Into the beautiful world again.
Oh! open the door and I'll spread my wings,
You'll not have done your kind deed in vain.
Hunt around until you find it;
Hunt L say, if you don't mind it,
Then with a ripping laugh that was
full as sweet as the singing, DoVie
passed her fingers up and down the
tree trunk until she came to what
looked like a knot in a board.
Continue this story relating the meth
cd by which DoVie released the sing
ing fairy, in what form the fairy ap-
peared to her when it finally escaped
from the tree, and what happened to
Dovie and to the fairy afterward.
One prize, a handsome book, will be
given for the best story, or the winner
may choose the alternate prize instead.
