BOOKS

Books are our companions; there
fore they should be chosen with the
greatest care. A book will act upon
our minds in the same way as a
friend affects our character Wise is
he that can choose from a great num-
Der of so-called friends, those from
whom he can derive the greatest
benefit. Wiser is he who has chos-
Ell a few good books, as his daily
companions. Friends however care
fully chosen, will sometimes fail us,
will at one time or other betray us. A
good book will never.
Now what shall we read? ~
First we will consider what VIC
should not read. Of course we all
know that dime novels and detective
stories are evils which ought to be
fought against with as great zeal as
any Of the other existing evils. Their
effect upon the mind, especially Of
younger children, is certainly bad.
When young boys read detective
stories they become so familiar with
crime and lawlessness, shat they con
slider them as matters of slight i'm
portance. They become, we can
hardly call it inspired, but they seem
to have but one ambition, that Of be.
coming great robber or outlaw. Par
ents who allow their children to read
these stories are as much to blame
for the petty crimes committed by
their children as the children them
selves.
Just al few words about dime no
wells. BY dime novel, is not meant
only the cheap books which may be
bought for dime or quarter, but
they are bound in the most expen.
sive leather Therefore one has to
be very careful when selecting !,
book. D.
After having formed the habit OF
re. i, :. such stories It Is very hard
to oneself Of it.
hose Of you who have the habit,
try to read the books BY some well
known authors, and you will find thai
you will in time learn to dislike
foolish love stories
What is the outline CT a love story
The writer knows BY personal expe
rience that the beginning of most
love stories is the So called love a,
