READING IS CONTAGIOUS and Eloise. Dr. EmmeTT A, BeTTs, one oT The counTry's leading auThoriTies in reading and reading diTTiculTies says, FirsT, iT you wanT your child To read and To read well, you musT make sure he comes from a home in which The members noT only read buT read To each oTher and discuss whaT They've read. Reading is an acTive ,occupaTion - noT someThing you siT back and waTch. In oTher words, a parenT can'T exoecT Johnny To be an avid reader and -aT The same Time say To him, You read, Johnny, buT I musT busy myseIT wiTh someThing else. IT is a rare child who does noT enioy being read To. IT is a riTual oT which he never seems To Tire. The wonder oT liTe is revealed in his eyes: The beneTiTs are incalculable. AT age Two or Three, This love Tor books can be insTilled in Johnny, in iTs incipienT sTage, oT course, buT iTs conTinued developmenT musT be nurTured Through consisTenT associaTion wiTh books ThaT chal- lenge The growing mind. All persons concerned wiTh The educaTion oT youTh musT help To encourage and promoTe reading, Tor The mark oT The book is a good mark and socieTy-aT-large is The greaT beneTacTor. Everyday IiTe in every home can be richer and Tuller if The greaT ThoughTs of our IiTerary masTers are shared wiTh one anoTher. This sharing helps To inTegraTe The Tamily circle, To make iT secure, and To make iT a bulwark againsT Tear. The Tledglings of The home, geared Tor a longer TlighT inTo The realm oT human undersTanding, discover The cenTral meaning oT Their lives and Their own unique- ness. They discover The laTenT greaTness in any individual as long as he will maniTesT his own producTiviTy. The Aegis sTaTT oT I962 has aTTempTed To depicT how Lincoln- Way endeavors To help Johnny noT only To read buT To read well. I-lowever, no school can provide The basic morale ThaT only The home can engender. A.
