 Prof B. J. Head of the Merrill School, being third on program, read a paper on the subject. What Kind of Books to Read He treated the subject in many phases list of books adapted to pupils from mere urchins, to adolescence and thence to maturity was given.
 The selection was an admirable one and contained such books as would develop the social, ethical, aesthetic, religious and intellectual part et each being.
 The dime novels. literature of atae- istic tendency, or Of agnostic tenets, were condemned in extravagant ad- fectives. The daily papers, the month ly magazines, journals, etc. were chased as potent factors in the edu- cation of the citizens of a state 3r nation.
