Home News a Specail Feature
All successful men in every calling realize the urgent necessity
for more general reading among the mass of people as the following
from Dr. J. B. Gambrell, one of the foremost ministers in Texas testi-
fies: “Vitally connected with education of all sorts is good reading.
Look where you will and you will behold one special: The people
who do not read are behind. They are behind everywhere. As farm-
ers they are behind. As preachers they are behind. No matter
what a man is in, he is behind if he does not read. He is behind in
religion, as much as anywhere. He is behind in money making. A
hay crop is scant, the winter long, | brother recently saw in Washington City a boy from Alabama, who was
a prize winner in the corn club contest. He lived in Sand Valley and
had never been fifty miles from home at fifteen years of age. One
day he saw a paper in the road. He picked it np and read it. It was
about the corn clubs and it told him how he could get more to read.
He measured off an acre of ground, followed directions, raised 218
bushels on the acre, sold it for 8141, got a $250 government prize and
a trip to Washington, with all expenses paid. He had the reading
instinct. But we must educate our people to read. There Is noth-
ing more fundamental than this.”
