YOU AND UNCLE SAM
Series Of Educational articles Telling Hoo Federal CoUern
ment Is Organized and Ho,U 1t Functions-Wrtten
Expressly for School Children.


No matter where you live. Uncle
Sam is ready to lead you to romance,
travel. adventure. general or spe-
cialiZed knowledge, into the realms
of poetry or along any of the many
lines Of engineering or science. He
gives every individual citizen an op-
portunity to know the worlds he
roes. explorers and inventors. and to
cultivate love for poetry and the
other arts.
One feature of the work done in
the home education division of the
United States Bureau of Education
is supplying reading courses planned
by experts in each particular line
This work is directed by Miss Ellen
Lombard, who previously was super
intendent OF practice in the Boston
Training School for Teachers.
Twenty eight of these courses have
been prepared, and there are about
10000 applicants year for the
courses, which means many times
that number OF readers. Miss Lom-
bard receives 1,400 to 1900 letters a
month about this work. There are
now special collaborators in about
half the States and public schools.
public libraries and State universities
are cooperating.
Titles illustrate Entire Field.
The titles of the last three courses
compiled will give an illustraS Non of
how the entire field of literature is
covered and how Uncle Sam is ne
deavoring to build up the taste. not
only Of boys and girls, but also to
give opportunity for home education
to many who were deprived OF the
chance early in life. One course Is
sixty Selected Stories for Boys and
Girls" another is 'Poetical Litera-
ture for Boys and Girls" and the
latest new course Is Kindergarten
Ideals in Home and School" A group
of rs boys and girls in the seventh
grade in Brunswick and Cumber-
land. Md, have just completed the
course In poetical literature under
the direction OF their teachers. This
shows how the interest is spread
ing.
For ten years Miss Lombard has
been chairman of home education for
the National Congress OF Parent
Teacher Associations. and in this
way has direct contact with 700, 1000
women interested In carrying for
ward the crusade. Through these
local leaders Miss Lombard is trying
to get the people in each State to
realize the Importance of having
books in the homes and the impor-
tance of the parents reading to the
children in the homes. She is rec
ommending daily that parent-teacher
associations should organize circles
to stimulate home readings so that
the boys and girls will grow up with
the habit of reading the best litera-
ture. and the 28 reading courses al
ready prepared, and more to follow,
are being offered to such circles.
Many Fail to Reach High school.
While the number OF men and
women attending high schools and
colleges is increasing yearly, there
are stiil many thousands who leave
school before reaching high school
Evening star., 1925-03-15

and these. as well as the boys and
girls, Uncle Sam wishes to encourage
to develop a habit of good reading.
In hundreds of communities there
are no public Libraries and few
books in the homes. In sFnany COM
munities in which libraries are es-
tablished the people have not de-
community considerable numbers do
not read even a daily newspaper.
For these people the only information
comes from contact with their
neighbors, the news Is confined to
gossip which is tongued from door
to door. For them the world of
books. which would furnish a glimpse
of great deeds, of people who have
struggled upward, of great issues,
great ideals and purposes, is un-
known. 1t is to awaken them and
usher them into larger future that
these reading courses are planned.
These people are not confined to
one State, nor to any one section of
the United States. II means are not
provided by which such people may
enrich their lives, and unless these
opportunities are brought to their
attention, they suffer an inestimable
loss and their children also must
suffer.
So this woman sitting in an office
IN Washington studies how to make
people throughout the States con-
scious of what they lack in the way
of home education and how to reach
them appeallngly with readin g
courses carefully, prepared by the
best authorities.
Committees in II States.
Cooperating IN this nation wide
stimulation of the reading habit. II
States have organized home educa-
ton committees to work out the
problem of reaching the homes with
better type of literature
Two other recent courses broadcast
by this Federal agency which have
attracted particular attention re-
Gently are citizenship and Govern
ment" and Pathways to Health"
1T Is tragedy that our boys and
girls have had so little help in the
selection of the right kind of readin z
matter says Miss Lombard. And
she Is laborinE with a woman's per-
sistency to correct this condition
throughout all the States by en-
couraging the cultivation of the
habit of reading the best that litera-
ture affords.
So you see there are folks in Uncle
Sans service working out their
Ideals and in practical way help
ing the citizens to make their lives
better. broader and brighter and to
improve the intellectual atmosphere
OF the home.
or course, Uncle Sam has to haggle e
over taxes and appropriations, but
ne also takes interest and pride in
such efforts TO improve the quality
of our citizenship.
