DANES TOO, HOMELESS.
Housing Problem Extends to COpen-
hagen and Other Large Cities

London, July "A shortage Of homes
is adding TO the woes Of residents Of
Danish cities Many brickyards, ac-
cording to Dane who has just returned
here from Copenhagen, have had to close,
with the result that building virtually
has ceased and fiat hunting had developed
into what might be called fiat auctions
If fiat was advertised for rent in the
papers, probably a hundred persons
would assemble outside the building
No one was admitted to the fiat, but the
caretaker, when he thought a large enough
crowd had collected, would throw open
his window and say something like this /:
The rent OF this fiat, ladies and gentle
men. is SO much Il year. Which Of you
will pay me the most for arranging mat
T. rs?'
Then kind of auction would bc held,
and whoever made the largest bid for
the services Of the caretaker would Sc
cure the fiat
Now the fiat famine has developed TO
such an extent that the diligent fiat seeker

ceeds Immediately to the residence and

are keenly attentive. ,'ut the story short
at most exciting point, saving that You
wish You could finish il now. but YOU
have TO attend TO something in the kitchen.
They, OF course, will want TO know what
IS TO happen next IN the story And they
probably will ask You fer the rest
of it.
Always manage SO that they will be
ANXIOUS for YOU to read to them more
than you do. Always speak Of reading
TO them as u privilege, not IN so many
words, of course, but through suggestion
Since they have been in the habit of
rcbelling Mt the idea of reading in general
1T would bc well at first to- refer only TO
some particular book which YOU arc
teaching them to like After using the
correct method for n while they will
enjoy hearing you read anything that
they can get you to read.
You might have the children make n
book of their own Furnish material
for them TO cut out animal pictures and
pictures of children and paste them in n
scrap book They will take delight in
cutting pictures out of old magazines.
Help them To write little expressions
about the animals This will make the
first reader at school seem more inter
esting to them when they come TO study
it, bccnuse the plan of pictures, followed
by descriptions, is used in the readers.
l. is natural for mothers, who have
trouble interesting children, 10 say,
Don't you want to listen to me read n
while Come on, sit over here, ! wont
read long. But this, obviously, IL
wrong. Children should never be coaxed
The method prescribed IS correct be-
cause il tends TO crrntc . desire IN the
childs mind for the thing that Won want
Very little, if ANYTHING, is gained by
having children read, or listen TO others
unless they want to do so with all their
will

NO. .. DO YOUR CHILDREN LIKE
TO READ

You are laying the foundations OF real
contcntmcnt for your child when you
lead him to know and love good books
The child who likes to read is easily amused
the youth who reads learns, the man or
woman who loves good books is never
without friends.
And books feed the imagination, make
treasure houses of the memory, keep the
dream faculty awake. The old education
crushed the child's imagination; the new
education fosters IT, knowing IT rs the
chlld's most priceless heritage
Unfortunately many children learn TO
enjoy trash while many children never
learn to take an interest in books OF
any sort Those children are indeed TO
be pitied who grow up with n pronounced
dislike for reading good books.
Here is an example A mother writes
TO me:
Nv ninc-year-old daughter enjoys
being read to a great deal and | ENJOY

ycar-olI twins do nor enjoy 1T and rebel

said Madam Brown Hen as She called her
children and ran along beside Peter Dog
TO the barnyard.
When she saw Peter Dog, Tabitha
bumped her back, and by the time Peter
reached the dog house Tabltha showed
plainly she was not to be frightened by

In a manner that quite dehed mere dog

Then all at once she stopped her fus-

barking. He was surprised that she was

Peter Dog looked foolish He did re-

could reply Tabitha SAID: ou saved me

but my, how YOU have grown.
Madam Duck uuacked. Madam Ncl-
Low Hen cackled. Mr.. Rooster crowed and
all the little chicks peeped, while their
mother cackled louder than all the others.
Peter Dog looked very much as if he
had been caught doing something he should
not have done He felt his dignity was
gone, but Tabitha soon set him right IN
the eyes Of the barnyard animals by say
ing:
That was a long time ago, Peter, and
no one would dream YOU ever had been

Tabitha jumped TO the ground and
walked off to the barn, and Peter, for
the first time spoke Il am glad TO see YOU
