reads so will he think; as he
thinks, so will he live" The cry
is going out from our high
schools and colleges Teach them
how to read" Contrast the
man of high culture with the
man of no culture. The intellect
of the uncultured man is con-
fined to his five senses. 1t takes
in nothing but the dull images
around him, all else is a complete
void. His soul is tied to the
present, and that small spot of
the earth's surface on which he
moves il his daily rounds. Up
on the other hand take the cul-
tured man. When he opens a
book and reads with an eye in
tent, in a few minutes the r
jects around him fade from his
senses and his soul is carried
away into distant regions, or in
to bygone times, or his mind

Without this power of mental

because we can never understand

the realms of poetry and fiction
we must take that exhilarating
guide, the Imagination.
But our reading matter in

DING IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOL

Reading in the public schools
of this county to my mind is the
most important, and yet the most
neglected of all the subjects in
the coriculum.
1t has been said that every
thing we read becomes a part of
us. This is undoubtedly true in
the case of pupils in the grades,
or in the stage Of DEVELOPMENT.
Hence how important that they
read, but read such things as
will supply memorv's storehouse
with the best literature. at a
time when it is most likely to be
retained.
In after years these same selec-
tons will hold far greater in
terest for the reader. because
they have been previously read,
and studied: also the later read
ing Of the same selection will
then constitute the finishing
course in the study of these
classics. and will bring out the
finer shades of meaning. and hid
den Ecauties pr viOuslv un-
discovered. The reading in THE
Old School, Laced create +
emphasis on eXpressional read
ing. but from my observation |
think we need to place more en-
phasis on thought getting, but
while we place emphasis pri-
marily on interpreting the selec-
tiOn for the reader himself, the
formalities necessary to give the
full force of the selection to the
nearer must not he overlooked.
The technique of reading though
always subordinate and second
airy to the mastery of the thought
nevertheless claims constant and
careful attention. The art of
good reading can only be cult
waited by judicious training, and
the PUBLIC school should spare
no pains to realize this result.
We should be veay careful in our
selection of reading matter and
select such and only such as is
the best in poetry and prose in
the literature of the English
speaking race. Such as shall be
the means of cultivating in our
pupils a taste for good reading,
and at the same time shall have
that refining influence on charac-
ter which good literature always
has. Without a doubt the read
ing accepted in the public schools
is seriously deficient in these
particulars.
The problem then that con-
fronts the teacher is the adapta-
ton of the reading matter, or
the selection. to the development

II. Neeord SALES Of the new series II
notsss ars reported by the stude-
kaksr Cooperation following the an
nouncement Of these cars four weeks
saeo. In fact. figures show that more
aetnal orders were received during
the past two weeks than in any SINH
lar previous period.
In anticipation Of the big demand
for the new series II Studebaker
Skies and Tours. the factory has been
running full capacity, and more than
1000 OF the latest models have been
shipped since announcement was
made January /. Three thousand
dealers are now showing the series II
cars and selling them as fast as they
come from the factory.
The production schedule for 1916
calls for 100000 of the newly an
nounced models. 1t was originally
planned to build 10000 cars. and the
schedule was later increased to 75,-
900. The demand from dealers on
the firing line forced the factory to
still further increase its contemplat-
ed output to 100000 machines.
From all over the country come re-
ports that the salesrooms of dealers
have been thronged since the intro
duction of the series II cars to the
public. These models are noted for
the fact that they incorporate II add
ed refinements, maintain their former
mechanical quality, and in several in
stances show reductions in price.
The custom of buying cars at the
New York automobile show was re-
vived when more than $50 of the
series II Studebakers were sold at re-
tail during show week.
!. Dealers all over the country are ap-
plying to the home Office in Detroit
for increased allotments of cars, and
a shortage is feared Notwithstanding
the planned production of 100000
during this year.
Don't forget that you can now own
