the flock once or twice each day and

Books for the Children

Care must be taken in the stories
we give to growing children that evil
is always overcome. Book friends are
very real to boys and girls and in
fuence their character. There should
be effort and conflict in their stories
and daring endurance and steadfast
purpose. Stories in which the child
hero acts rightly are particularly
valuable, because what boy or girl
has done appeals more directly to the
child's own power. He feels though
he may not express 1t even to him
self that what other children have
done he can do.
