EDUCATIONAL VALUE OF GooI
BOOKS.
Practical Education to be Gained by
Familiarity With Ones Own LIZ
brsry.

Few there are who realize the ex-
tensiye Knowledge that can be gained
through an occasional reference to
what might be termed commonplace
books. These ace in no sense ordinary
books. but these that are common TO
every home. There is probably not a
family in this city that does not pos
sess at least one suck volume that is
seldom referred to, or that is possibly
concealed in some hiding place where
II is not even seen except al such times
as there is a general house cleaning
Run over in your mind the titles of
these books IN vonr own home. Doubt
less you have a copy of the Bible Do
you ever refer to it as historical
work, or as a work of reference? You
know Abraham Lincoln said NO libra
ry is complete without two certain
hooks-The Bible and Shakespeare;
hardly a quotation used in literature
that is not taken from one of these
works, and Lincoln was self-edncat-
ed man--a man of practical learning,
whose words of wisdom will be handed
down to posterty.
The Bible thus becomes work of
more than ordinary educational value
