THE NEED OF HOME READING
IN OUR ENGLISH CLASSES


one OF the greatest needs Of our
English classes IS the incorporation of
home reading. There are several main,
large, outstanding reasons for this.
In the first place, home reading
broadens the students mind bv the
the familiarity of concise English
words. The chief use of good English
is to teach n to be able to express
his ideas briefly, vet to the point an
a good author and writer uses such
language. Hence, the reading of
good literature will of necessity in
volve the use of such.
Again, the readers mind will be
b~roadened as to the events of the dav

which he is reading. and everyone adj.

and varied intellest. The %acouaint-
ance to a moderate degree with all of
the above divisions of literature en-
ables a person to command respect
and a hearing from his fellow country.
men and citizens, and thus place him
self in a high state of admiration. The
President of the United States is a fit
ting and typical example of the above
type of man. He reads, reads and

You will be interested in this for it is
a practical phase of a question that IS
before the minds of all.
Supplies needed at Hospital: Pillow

plain bath towels; all kinds of linens,

most of what is in life. The correla-
ton Of these material things linked
with those read of, will form a good
sound intellectual basis.
Further, home reading should be
encouraged from the viewpoint that
it creates in the student a respect and
love for his home. Nowadays the ma
jority of boys especially, seem to have
forgotten what their home is for.
They have cultivated the dea that it
is merely a place to eat and sleep. and
that is all. Possibly home reading
would not entirely eradicate this at
titude, but it is possible that it would
exert a vast deal of Influence upon it.
Anyway, it would be worth the time to
experiment.
Therefore, for the above arguments,
home reading in our high school Eng
fish classes should become a part of
the regular curse. Let's think it ov-
err.
