XX'e may easily see that in order to give the adults of to-morrow the ad- vantages which are their right, we must exert our influence on the children of tofday. This is the privilege of the teacher. XX'e have in these modern times good children's literature within the reach of all. XX'hat we must do is to interest children in reading and see that their interest lead, them in the right paths. Youth is plastic. imaginative and easily influenced hy its elders. If we can skilfully direct the child's reading we shall make a great contrihution to the culture of the next generation. To-day we hear people say. I don't like poetry: it doesn't make sense . l'erhaps if these people had had heautiful poetry read daily to them in child- hood when their minds were highly imaginative they would now find it one of the delights of their life. 'liheir period of greatest mental elasticity pass,- ed unnoticed: now it is hardly likely that they will ever know the pleasures uf reading poetry. Hur responsihility as teachers is evident. llut we cannot transfer to our pupils a love of good literature unless we ourselves are saturated with it. XX'e may feel it our duty to read good hooks. hut soon we shall find it our delight rather than duty. Nor should we he content to dwell upon merely one phase of literature. I-Biography can give us a glimpse into the lives of the great people who lired hefore us. XX'e can share their struggles and rejoice in their successes. Enthusiasm for history is a communicahle disease: the teacher who reads extensively outside the school course will find that his class also is trying to find out what happened hehind the scenes of the text hooks. 'liravel hooks are a hoon to those of us whose hudgets will not allow money for a railway ticket hut can he stretched to include a lihrary card, XX'e all have our pet hohhies or some suhject, foolish as it may seem lu others, on which we are keenly interested in reading. l,et us all cultivate an inquiring mind. one ever open to new truths, in order to increase our knowledge and enjoyment of life. ,X hookshelf is a magical thing. It may contain worlds of delight and knowledge. or may contain merely a great deal of paper with ink on it. Let Us see that our hookshelf, small as it may he, is worthy of ourselves and our profession. .Xs Emily Dickinson saidzf There is no frigate like a hook To hear us lands away, Nor any courser like a page of prancing poetry. 'I'his traverse may the poorest take XX'ithout oppress of tolli How frugal is the chariot That hears a human soul! .XLICE E. SMITH. l'r1yf' Nifty-t1L J
