Teach Children To Read.
If there were some miraculous gift
that you could present to your chill
dren that would insure them wisdom,
and entertainment; that would be a
guide to health and wealth; that
would be talisman that would pro-
tect them from boredom, which is the
mother of temptation. wouldn't you
move heaven and earth to get 1t for
them?
You know you would. You would
flee too severe for you to make in
order to obtain this white magic with
which to endow your sons and daugh-
tiers. You would think that money
was a poor Inheritance to leave them
in comparison with a fairy gift which
carried with it, to its fortunate pos
SCISSOR, SO many things that money
cannot buy.
Well, there is such a gift of the
gods that parents can bcstow upon
their children if they will 1t is teach
ing child how to read. Not the hit
or-miss kind of reading they teach in
the schools, where the art of knowing
how to read has become a lost art,
but teaching a child how to read so
that books become their best friends
and a resource that never fails.
OF course there are some children
who are born book worms, Just as
there are other children who are born
musicians. or artists, or traders, and
merchants. The average child, how
ever. is a little savage interested only
in animal delights, and a love of read
ing has to be inculcated in him just
as much as does the virtue of clean
illness, and consideration for the rights
of other people.
And this is a job that belongs to
parents. And if they only realized
how important it was, and how far
reaching its consequences, surely we
should have more families spending
their evenings around the drop light,
and fewer beating it away to the
movies, or gathered about the bridge
table.
Every father and mother could
teach their children to love to read if
they would only take the trouble to
do 1t. But they don't do It, In most
houses there isn't even a decent light
to read by. or quiet. comfortable
place in which to read. Money is
spent lavishly for everything except
the most important thing of all.
Still less do the parents stop in
their strenuous lives of business. and
society and amusement, to read n half
hour every day with their children,
and to find out If thier girls and boys
are being taught how to read. Yet
the real reason that people do
not like to read is because they don't
know how. They read so badly they
don't get the meaning of the printed
page. They do not know how to use
the key they hold in their clumsy
fingers skfllfully enough to unlock
the Jewel casket in their hands.

BANKING A RESERVE.

Nearly every battle in war is won
by the reserves.
Reserves-the men held in readi-

fresh and eager and strong.
There is the banked reserve in
nerve energy that carries US over the
rough spots and the long difficult Jobs

There is always the feeling Of power
when in the presence of a man who
habitually holds in readiness a re-

SHORT SEASON
NOT FAVORED
Major League Managers Kicking
Themselves For Adopting 14O-
Game Schedule This
Year,

limited Press Leased Wire Service.l
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Experience
this year spells the doom or the
short season in the major leagues.
Managers in both circuits are KICK
ing themselves, so to speak, over
falling for the 140-game idea. IN
face Of it's lack of merits over the
old 154-game schedule, the club own,
ers have adopted the never again
motto.
President Heydler, of the National
league, believes that the first de-
cision made when next seasons
schedules are arranged will De 10
bring back the old long season.
From the talk of club owners, l
have no doubt they will disapproVe
further experiment with short sea-
sons" he said today.
Loss of fourteen games has not
only meant much in dollars and cents
to the club owners, but it may be a
factor in cutting some of them out
of fat slices of worlds series coin.
Cleveland and Detroit both figure
that the short season cut them out
Of a swell chance for the American
league pennant. They both figure
that fourteen more games would
give them just the chance wanted to
cut down the margin Of the leading
White Sox.
The subject may be considered
Tuesday, when the national commls'
sion meets in Chicago.
