EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

'As the twig is bent. SO is the tree
inclined"
I wonder if any truer application
OF That old adage can be made than
to chi1d's reading.
Start a child to reading some of the
really fine books written for children,
and some of the really fine books not
written especially for children. but
simple enough to interes. them, and
by and by you will have a grown man
or woman capable of enjoying-not
just reading because he ought to-but
capable of enjoying good literature.
Leave the child to read indiscrim-
inately upon predigested ciet of of the
average harmless but yalueless child's
book, and by and by you will have
man or woman with a weakened lit
erary digestion. capable Of enjoying
nothing heartier than the current nov
ell or the average magazine.
And yet how many parents keep
a really careful oversight of their
childrens reading?
don't mean merely a censorious
oversight that says, do not read this
or that" but a constructive, suggestive
oversight that says. "Why don't you
get this or that book out of the IL
brary? I'm sure you'll like it,
have occasionally been asked by
mothers who do seem to feel this re-
sponsibility to give them a list of good
books for children to read. and for
them and for the benefit of any 9TH
er mothers who may be awakened to
this responsibility, I submit the fol-
lowing little list.
1t is compiled with the assistance of
several excellent children's librarians.
1t contains books suitable for children
from to 16 years, but does not, of
course, claim to be exhaustive, only
suggestive. Anyone who wishes to give
a child books atzany time might find
the list valuable, as they are all books
worth owning

Honest Advice to

Tennessee State Fair.

The time is drawing near for our
annual State Fair, which will be held
at Greenwood Park, near this city.
The efforts of the Negroes of Tennes-
see in this direction are to be com
mended, and those who have not ia
ken any part in these celebrations in
the past should bestir themselves and
see to it that the reputation of our
fair state docs not suffer.
Since the fair ground is located so
close to Nashville, it should make the
citizens here feel that a special duty
rests upon them. The success of our
fair will elways depend largely upon
the people of Nashville. They can make
it a grand success if all will pull to-
gether with one aim in view. The
Tennessee Colored State Fair should
rank with the best that are held by
the Negroes of other states. HThose
who are in authority in this matter
have worked hard to make it a sue
cess, and what they have accom-
plished is worthy of commendation,
but the fact remains that the State
Fair has never been what it should
nor what it would be if the Negroes
in every part of the state would be-
come interested in it.
The county fairs are all about over
by September, and the exhibitors can
easily ship their exhibits here in time
for them to be installed before the
opening day. Every citizen owes lit
to himself to make this institution a
success for the glory of it will come
to adj alike.

A Sign Of Progress.

In last weeks issue our worthy
contemporary, The Demonstration, of
Mound Bayou, Miss, says:
The Demonstration has finally
reached the stage whsre it has
t%rCthfully to say that some ar
ticles of correspondence are left
out for want Of space. This
means, of course, that we must
again enlarge We think our
friends must appreciate the fact
of u having discarded the old
familiar patent sides and are now
giving them four pages of original
home print matter, none OF which
is to be found in each and every
n of the other papers published
lin the section. A continuation of
their loyal support will enable us
to make the necessary enlarge
ment for the accommodation of
all classes of correspondence and
this is what we are confidently
expecting.
1t can be clearly seen from the above
that Mound Bayou's citizens are push
ing to the front, and We congratulate
the Demonstration on the decision to
lead the way. Other Negro newspa-
per publishers would do well to catch
this same spirit. The p ,ople deserve
the best service that can De given
them.

Allen, the founder of the Church. Il
he current issue the Recorder says
Some weeks ago we proposed,
through the Recorder, the cree
tion in Philadelphia of a suitable
building, to be known as the
Richard Allen Memorial Build
ing When this idea was first
put forward, there were some who
doubted that it could be done.
But our idea is beginning to
gain. At WilberfCrco we talked
with a number of representative
ministers from different parts of
the country about the building,
and It seemed to meet their ap-
prevail. Such q building as we
would suggest would be located
in close proximity to our colored
population in Philadelphia. 1t
would be six or seven stories,
having room for a irst-class
printing plant, with pressroom,
binGery composing room, store
rooms, mailing rooms, stereotyp-
ing rooms and clerical rooms for
the Book Concern; also a mana
gers office, editorial rooms for
the Christian Recorder, offices
for the Missionary and Church Elk
tension Departments, Episcopal
rooms, one for the Bishop of the
First District and one for any Wis
iting bishop. The building would
also have a room for board
meetings, two or three small COM
mlttee rooms, a small chapel, and
a large auditorium, with a capac-
ity for about 1900 people. There
would be q store on the ground
floor for the sale of books, and Of
fees on the other floors for rent
to representative business and
professional men.
Such a building would not cost
less than $4,000, but VIII be
worth many thousands more in
usefulness and the prestige it will
bring t. race.
