full general. we may be justified in sus-
pecting that there must have been
something used in each case in addition
to this admirable collection of biogra-
piles. Nevertheless. the general ten
dency Of book may be discovered.
Some books do stimulate to the
heroic attitude, oilers inculcate sub
mission, still others fire the magma
tion or arouse the spirit Of devotion.
From the nature Of the children and
from the nature Of the books we may
be sure that there is no book that will
be equally good" for all children.
The needs Of children vary 80 much
and the capacities vary 80 much that
two children will react to a given book
in very different ways.
For the Novice.
You may wish to get a child inter
ested In books; there are children who
have not yet acquired the reading habit.
In that case you would select an attrac-
tive volume, with good pictures, deal
ing with a subject in which the girl or
boy is already interested-as athletics
or travel. On the other hand, you may
use child's interest in reading to
direct his attention to something out
side Of books, as the world Of nature
or household economy. In every case,
then, the existing interests Of the child
and his needs should frst be taken
into account.
Most buyers of books for children
fall into two classes. Either the attrac-
tiveness Of the newest books in their
bright arrays on the shelves and the
suggestions of the sales people are al
lowed to make the choice for US or we
turn from the latest novelties with
suspicion and resort to the old reliable
standards that have survived the test
Of time. OF the two, the course pur-
sued by the latter is much the safer,
for there is certainly much to suspect
in the --latest" output Of the book fac
tories.
At the same time we must learn to
recognize the fact that the writer's
and printers and illustrators Of books
have not been standing still. They have
really learned to make better books
for children than our grandparents en-
joyed. For the younger children the
illustrations are not only more artistic,
but more certain to appeal to the
child's understanding.
New Books Show Sympathetic Insight.
In the stories there is manifested a
more sympathetic insight into the
child's interests and viewpoint; we
find very few Of the "goody-goody"

and uplifting" but which in reality dis
