s the holiday season approach.
"A millions OF grownups are
wondering about a suitable book
for the little children they love.
OF all the gifts that the average
child receives, it is the good story
book that delights him longest.
Mrs. Elsa II. Naumburg OF the
Child Study Association Of Amer.
lea has recently compiled most
excellent list of books for children.
She says in her foreword "The
child needs a mirror OF life. Poor
books and poor pictures are mir
rors with distort:ng flaws, while
good books and pictures furnish
insight and direct his lines OF
growth"
Joyous rhymes and jingIes for
the little tots and merry animal
stories that will make him laugh
are always in favor.
The little fellow of kindergar.
ten age is interested in whatever
pertains to ships. wagons. trains.
engines. airplanes, motors and
fire engines. He wants to know
about farmers, shepherds, soldiers
and the workmen who supply his
food and clothes and playthings.
And thcr come the fairy tales.
But those that induce feeling
Of PAL or fear or horror should
be avoided. Fairy stories that de-
veicr the imaginat ton and the
creative ability and those that
carry lessons of love Gt..l kind.

II ARK! Now the bells on Christ
mas Day,
Bring back The joy of happy
times
Some spirit, which had gone away,
Now hovers in these merry
chimes;
With peace on earth, good will to
mem
Thus is the message heard again
Hark! Now the bells, on frosty air,
Ring hope and comfort, love and
peace
The Spirit of the Christ is there
To bid the worldly tumult cease;
With peace on earth, good will to
men
This is the carol heard again.
Hark! Now the bells DER vale and
Reach to the islands of the sea
In one sweet voice of Peace, be

And let thy burden rest on Me-"
Thus peace on earth, good will to
