THIS is CHILDREN'S
BOOK WEEK ALL OVER
THE UNITED STATES

Throughout the county book
dealers, librarians and teachers are
emphasizing during the present
week the need for the education of
children with good books and more
of them. Realizing that the chill
dren OF today are the readers of
the future the National Association
of Book Publishers Is spending
thousands of dollars in children's
book propaganda.
Local book shops are showing
particularly attractive displays of
children's books. The Libraries Of
the city and the state university
are displaying posters of illustrat-
ing children's book week and sew
eral schools In the city are also
showing book posters. These are
delightful color prints of a Jessie
Wilcox Smith picture of children
with their beloved volumes.
There is probably more careless
buying of juvenile books than OF
any of the class of books. Crown
ups are prone TO choose solely by
the titles familiar to them and to
buy new ones by q rough guess
based on the cneapness of cost and
catchiness of titles. Some really
excellent juvenile books are on the
market and should be given chill
dren only after careful selection.
The children's book week coming
as 1t does just before the holidays
should result in rich gifts of litera-
ture for the kiddies under the
Christmas tree this year.

H. R. RAPER OF THIS
CITY is AUTHOR OF
NEW SCIENTIFIC BOOK

DIR. Howard r. Raper, Of this
city, has published another book
pertaining to the science of dent
istry. The name of the book,
which Is from the presses of c. V.

DR.. Raper is a scientist of ma
tional repute, and his books are
regarded by other men of his pro-
fession as reliable authorities. His
other book is elemental and Dem
tai, Photography" which was pub
lished some time ago.
A foreword of the later book
says: "Notning is more worthless
than an incorrect diagnosis, and no
matter how well the wrong treat
ment Is applied, it remains the
wrong treatment First of all,
then, make a correct diagnosis. :"
All of which is quite obvious, and
in his book, Raper tells how to &C.
complish that latter diagnosis.
DR.. Raper was formerly profess
sor of Radiodontia. Materia Medica
