Book review by Nelson Hall. on
"The Boy and His Daily Living"
awarded first prize in the book
week contest:
Reasons Cor liking the book:
l think this book is an ideal book
for a high school boy to read. II
gives information on living the EOst
convenient, economical way now
and later in life when he enters in
TO the outside world to make
place for himself.
Useful and valuable information
is given on building strong bodies
to make life more happy. Many p9O-
ple do not know the proper foods to
eat to supply the proper materials.
such as calcium. iron, iodine and
the different vitamins, for strong,
Lealthy body. 1t gives the names of
the proper foods for any person to
at and the correct weight and
height normal person should be
at his age.
Living and using the correct ways |
Of living is next considered. True
hospitality. living in other peoples
homes, actions in public, and table
Lactics or manners are the main
things which appealed most to me
in this section of the book.
Being able to help in case OF ILL
ness or accident is something else
stressed IN the book.
A boys clothes and neatness are
discussed in the very complete
Orm. A boy without a mother to
AXE care of his clothes and help
lin look peat will find this part OF
he book very interesting to him.
The selection OF a companion with
whom to live a happy life, and the
normal age to marry are discussed.
Sood heritage is a factor which we
hould not forget in this connection.
Finding a comfortable and econc-
mic way Of living for boy and his
is something to which
veryone should give thought. This
Includes the kind of house suitable
or you and your salary, furnishings
nd the outside appearance of your
ONE.
After reading this book have a
Ood impression of life and think l
an form better habits for a better
upblic opinion to be formed Of me.
This book does not contain adven-
lre or romance as you might want
book 20 have, but it has more
hings of every day in it which will
elp you than any other book l
ave ever read.
