This mother is exactly
q great asset for a growing
family. I would disagree with
her only on one point: It's
just as important for the
stay-at-homes. Even II you
have q public library on the
next corner. even If you have
. well-stocked library in
your school, there's nothing
like having a handy. up-to-
date set of a fine encyclop-
edia as near as the TV set.
In fact, research shows that
TV programs often raise
questions which need to be
satisfied by q good ency-
clopedia. II the information

high interest and motivation
Is often lost.
Subscription Books
Such q large metropolitan
area as Washington is q
happy hunting ground for
door-to-door statesmen and
saleswomen who represent
what are known as subscrip-
ton books. In case this
trade label Is new to you,
subscription books is a blan-
ket term for all kinds Of
reference sets and antho-
logies, good and bad, which
are sold door-to-door. It in
cludes the true reference
encyclopedias. anthologies Of
children's literature, special
purpose encyclopedias. and
many combinations and mu-
tations Of all three types.
Most Of these sets cost at
least 500, an amount to be
invested only after careful
calculation Of the value of
the product. The parent
naturally wants to know
what kind of set he is buying
and whether it Is the best Of
its kind.
Among the true reference
encyclopedias. there are two
standard sets: The WORLD
BOOK and COMPTON'S
PICTURED ENCYCLOPE.
Ola. You can't go wrong
with either one. Schools us
ually have both, preferably
editions revised within the
last five years. Both sets are
accurate, attractive, and suit
able for use from grades 4
through IL. the World
Book. is also recommended
for popular adult use.
For Browsing
There is also q place in
the home for the set which
Is q combination Of informa-
ton and literature, such as
THE BOOK OF KNOWL-
EDGE and CHILDCRAFT.
Some families like the idea
Of combining in one set
some favorite stories and
poems along with articles
about Indians or how to
build a bird house. Children
may discover new hobbies or
interests from opening these
volumes at random. Because
Of the space devoted to
classic stories and poems.
such sets serve best as ma
terial for leisure reading
rather than reference.
From the Experts
In these days Of hidden
persuaders," it's natural to
hesitate before buying any
thing which costs upwards of
q 500. whether it's q wash
ing machine or q set Of books.
Everybody knows that there
are organizations which sup
ply consumers with periodic
information on all kinds of
mechanical equipment. Not
so many people know that
similar information on Sub

at your nearest public library,

Mr.. Rusk briefed the Italians
on the talks in Paris. There
had been reports that some

A report from Paris yesterday
said the West had decided to
take the initiative to convene
an East-West conference on
Berlin. but not until after the
September II West German
election.
The report said that though
some Western diplomatic feared
they might lose the initiative
to Russia by waiting so long,
they considered the prediction
period a poor time for such a
move. Any indication of West
ern yielding on the German
issue could mean political dis
aster for Mr.. Adenauer, who
has based his power on long
