The short. rapid reducing

few pounds to lose) is valuable
because it is so encouraging.
Practically every woman can
stick to a slimming diet for
nine days time-especially If
she knows she can lose a cer-

If you have many pounds to
lose, the short, rapid diet gives
you a good start and en-
courages you to continue.
After this exciting beginning

Why Johnny Doesn't Read

able to us only through print Our decisions
as citizens depend on our reading widely
to understand the import of the decisions
we must make. Our economic welfare and
success in our work depend upon our read
ing. The most effective use of our leisure
time depends upon our reading Yet our
schools have not provided us with the in
centive to be readers. Here is an area of
sorry, even dangerous, failure.
But it is not enough to point out an area
of failure. Somewhere there lies an explana-
tion of this failure, or perhaps number of
explanations. But in any attempt to explain
this failure, high on the list, if not at the
top, would lie our failure to provide books
for our children. Numerous objective stud
les have shown that most important among
factors which contribute to love of read
ing is the availability of books. Not merely
3 few books, but wide range of books on
wide range of subjects is necessary if
children are to develop real interest in
reading.
The place to begin in making available
the books that will create readers is in the
early elementary school years. When the
child is learning the skill of reading he must
also be learning the joy of reading. In our
elementary schools we must provide the
attractive, well-stocked Libraries which will
turn Johnny's new found skill into life
time delight. The tiny classroom book col
lection which did not make readers of
Johnnys parents is not likely to do better
for Johnny. Instead we must, as parents
or as teachers, give Johnny something bet
ter We must provide him with book filled
library in his school that will make reading
seem vital and desirable part of his life.
| do not claim that making readers of
our young citizens is going to solve all our
problems. But if they are readers they will
surely be better informed and better able
to grapple with the awful problems which
confront our age.-RICHARD DARLING,
Assistant Professor in charge of Library
instruction, MSU School of Education.
