Cultivate Reading Habit.

Much has been said of the impor-
tance Of forming the right physical
and moral habits early in life, but
the value Of the early formation of
reading habits has received little at
tention, according to Miss Dove Of
the Agricultural college Mt Fort Col
Inns, Colorado. The practice Of daily
reading should be begun while in
school and should not be discontinued
later on account Of time. Thirty min
utes day spent in reading will keep
one UP with the current events and
thus widen ones horizon. Thoughts
may be gathered that will relieve the
monotony and drudgery Of the daily
task. Reading not only adds to ones
daily life but it paves the way for
greater enjoyment later. It is as one
grows older that the habit Of reading
becomes most valuable. Fortunate In
deed is the man who rs he withdraws
from the more active side of life, finds
world Of his own through the open
doorway of good books.
