n NE of the most-discussed topics
nowadays is how many children
" acquire a knowledge of and love
for the best literature. There are
few ways which = would suggest which
have proved writes "a prominent edu-
Gator, successful in one family at
least.
First. in regard to the children's
hooks. Get them good sets of the poets
and of other standard authors while
they are still very young, choosing
poet such as Longfellow or Tennysoh
for the first. You may think the chli-
dren will not care for them, but wait
and see how happy they are to nave
"real' book of their own and how
eager they are to have you read TO
them my own book"
Second, as to cnthologies. L can well
remember when, on my eleventh birth
day, | received a little volume of Sc
lections from Lambs works. l liked
them all, especially the essay on
"Roast 'ig." and it led me to read
others of his essays. l date the De-
ginning of my love for Lamb from
that birthday. 1t is the same with
other children. The anthology supplies
them with samples of the best works
of our best authors and creates an ap-
petite for more.
Third, let them act out plays poems
and novels. 1t will take some time
for the busy mother to adapt one of
Shakespeares plays for her children,
but she will be repaid for it. There is
no better way to familiarize the chill
dren with his plays than to have them
acted out. The memorizing of the
parts is easy for the children, and
their imaginations are so vivid that
they are satisfied with almost any
thing in the way of staging and cos
tuning. Scenes from Scott's or other
novels can also be acted though they,
being in prose, are harder for the chill
dren to memorize.
Let the children get up little home
entertainments in which each child
takes part in some way. They can re-
cite poems, read some paper they have
prepared, or have a play. Birthdays
and other special occasions could be
celebrated in this way to good advan-
tage.

TRAINING GIRLS

TN HE address delivered by S. X.
Hoover of the West high school
Il of Cleveland before the conVen-
ton of the National Educational as
sociation at Denver the other day de-
serves wide attention for its common
sense. 1t should be the first mission
of the schools, he said, to train girls,
not to be lawyers, doctors and business
women. but to be home makers.
There is a deal of cant afioat about
the destiny of the American girl at
school. 1t has become somewhat the
fashion for mothers to train their
daughters for a business life and to
urge the girls themselves to look for
ward to the career of a wage Garner
rather than to prepare them to assume
their natural place as wives and moth
ers, 1t is all wrong. A moments con-
sideration of course, is sufficient to
show it wrong.
Conditions in the modern industrial
world are such, unfortunately, that an
increasing number of women are
obliged to earn their own living. In
spite of this, however, the fact re
mains that the vast majority of girls
in the public schools at any period are
certain to take up the burden OF their
grandmothers and in their turn raise

ARE SCHOOLS AT FAULT7

H HE country is gaining on the city
steadily, but not fast enough ana
Il the reason is just this one OF lg-
norance. The schools are doing all they
can to spoil farm boys, giving them all
sorts of information except about what
constitutes farm life. In this way the
best of them are tumbled into the city
chaos, and it is hard work to counter
act this drift and locate the tired-out
city folk in gardens. We are gaining,
however, and the percentage of the in
crease of population that faces coun-
tryward is double that of 1890. Huge
cities are no longer needed. We do not
need to concentrate wealth or to use 1t
in the bulk We have got our huge en-
terprises that required syndicates and
trusts off our hands, and now the
great problem is to secure a more
euuable distribution of the wealth we
have acquired. We must also vastly
increase our production in order to feed
the enormously growing population;
and at least one-half of our non-pro-
ducers, who now make up what is
called the laboring class and a good
many of the capitalists as well must
be got into a position where they can
create food for themselves, and add to
the big surplus needed for others.-E

sons and daughters for the state. Why,
then, should the schools train all girls
to do the work that a mere minority
will be called upon to do, and neglect
the training that the majority needs?

ton that the Cleveland man made be-
