THE LIBRARY AS A
SUMMER SCHOOL

Try through this vacation to establish
a stronger feeling and appreciation for
the library. It takes many kinds Of
literary material to fill the legitimate de-
mands of the many kinds of minds.
TO draw up scheme for education Of
any considerable number of people, Is
to abandon this hard world and betake
oneself to the land of dreams. II we
must dream, let us dream spaciously.
Half of the contented ignorance of the
world is due to the constantly checked
curiosity OF immature years.
More emphasis should be placed upon
getting children to read books in the
right way. Parents may buy gifts of
useful books suited to the tastes and
ages of the individual children. accustom
their boys and girls to acquiring knowl-
edge to scientific construction. ADJUST
ing their selections of books, parents
should encourage actual reading as soon
as possible. In reading-if the child has
heard read to it, fairy tales and stories
from masterpieces of literature, 1t is the
beginning of real educative work.
There is no objection to reading to the
children, extracts Of literature that they
cannot understand in detail. They will
much oftener than would be expected.
There is no excuse for not giving child
rem OF the best literature. There are
books devoted to all branches of science
in a manner suitable to young children;
there are simple history books, books of
classical legends. folk and wonder tales,
and the many fairy tales.
CoInpanionship of parents and children,
and mutual enjoyment Of books are the
foundation of successful guiding Of child
ren's home reading. Let them look back
at their full Joys of reading and be SYM
pathetic with their curiosity, their
warmth and color. The child, consist
antly educated on this plan with good
allowance of playtime. and time spent in
the open air. II we grant these things,
sooner or later. the hope will enable us
to see the possibilities of development,
with fairly complete grasp of the art
of reading. In after years, those children
win look back with grateful memories
to the social hour which gave them not
only their love Of books. but brought
them nearer to their home.
