THERE'S NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTES

Now eomes the American Marine Library Asso-
citation with the misinformaton that sailors prefer
the hiehbreW type Of literature"
pefhap that because those dnky little caps they
wear set high their heads!
Bot that's the bunk I've known few sailors my
self True most Of them like to read but their choice
usually Is for tic exciting adventure type Of reading.
No doubt tbe Library Association arrived at its
conclusion because perhaps Of the books donated
marine libraries "east-ofFs" from private and
public libraries. and the "hghbrew7 stuff is usually
those not wanted Consequently the sailors left
with little eboee.
There's saying Of Emersenis to the effect that.
Teach boy 10 love books and he will educate him

just long the boys reading something
no matter what they educating themselves. So let
