COMMUNITY PARAGRAPHS.

Has your child "a healthy mind
as we'll as a sound body? His
mentality is nourished by the lit
erature he feeds on. His mental
growth depends on whether he
reads good, bad or Indifferent lit
erature. Do you know what your
child reads?
Reading is to the mind what ex-
ercise is to the body, and cultlva-
ting in your child's mind a love
for good books will enrich and
make happiness both for the child
and others.
Permicious books corrupt and
debauch the mind as quickly as
bad companions contaminate your
chald's character. A single evil
suggestion from salacious book
may wreck his soul.
Milton says: Great books are
the precious life blood of great
spirits" All great men have been
readers of good books, and doubt
less the influence of good books
Us beyond computation IN their
lives, and through them universal
life.
What panacea to humanity
has been the influence of good
books! 1t is said an old Egyptian
king called his library the treas
ure house of the remedies of the
soul, and Cicero likened room
without books to body without
soul. Carlyle somewhere describ-
ed collection of books as real
university. mot dynamite, but in
telligence is the hope of the world.
Then see that your child is men
tally nourished by proper read
ing, and not allowed to browse at
will among all sorts of books and
he will live to bless you and the
world as we'll, otherwise, he may
learn to curse you and the world.
The Parent Teachers .Assocla-
tion will give an entertainment
for the benefit of the school, Fri
day night, Dec, at Johnson Hall
