Having heretofore given s**v

"numerate what appear to
as prosieraud]practicable methyl
ode of creating and fostering a |
judicious and serviceable course
—judicious, iii that it demands
correct judgment, a wise and pa-
tient perse vere nee; and service-
able. in that it briijgs immediate
and increasing mental benefit
to the reader and an indirect
stimulus to a whole community.
In the first pist& read what
gStases and inStrgcts; aftei-
wards, if yott read carefully and
tbongtitfully, you will read what
instructs and pleases,
You will soou find that your
taste^ is becoming critical and
discriminating; it is'jio longer
of the puerile kind that must
be fed on childish tales; it de-
mands a stronger diet, and in
the exercise of thought respond-
ing to thought, it acquires
strength, correctness and deli-
cacy.
Secondly, since books are so
multitudinous, a small fraction
of them can be read in a life-
' - '
time, and in fact, a small frac
tion of them ought to be read
in a lifetime, but read and di-
gested, made so thoroughly
your own that yon Can take the

This course has a tendency to
lead one into the special consid-
eration of some topic, and in
order to explore the ground
thoroughly, every avenue of
information should , be opened
to the inquiring mind. If a
dead language stops .you, get
the best translations you can
and preceed with the investiga-
tion.
Thirdly, it happens very often
some of these avenues are clos-
ed, whether poverty bars the
way, indifference interposes a
seeming difficulty, or ignorance
imagines one. In this case, the
key that removes the obstacle

Now I suggest as a most effl

our public schools—the very
place where first needed, most
needed, and longest needed.
In support of these three aaaer

stimulated, and not depressed.
To this end, I think the child
should have plenty of correlated

What books shall be bought t
The Library Journal answers in
this wise: 1st, A library must
not circulate bad books; 3d,
It must, within this limit, give
the public the books it wants;
3d, It must teach it toVant bet-
ter books. J
Finally, I close this article in
the words of James Freeman
Clark: "Let us thank God for

some books have done for the
