The onward sweep of this school-boy impulse is seen in the unparalleled effort which is being put forth today on the part of all classes of youth to secure some form of higher education. Best of all. contrary to any system of caste, we see great numbers of boys from the artisan class devoting themselves to liberal instead of technical or vocational studies. From many unqualified critics protests have come up frequently against so-called book-learning. 1 have no quarrel with those who would make education practical, and freely recognize the fact too long delayed in its discovery, that there is abundant educative material that is not to Ik- found in liook'. But it must be admitted that lx oks are the greatest conservators of the thought of the world lx th | ast and present. We must not permit the pursuit of knowledge through other means to obscure the fact that the best expression f man's ex[ erience is cast in literary form and that the most direct approach to the lore of the ages is through liooks. One must be carefully selective in his choice of lxx ks, for there is much writing that is not literature. If he should mistrust his own judgment in this he would do well to accept Charles V. Kliot's five-foot shelf or Theodore Roosevelt's “pig-skin library. or some similar collection. In view of the great wealth of literature in our day it i- imjxirtant to acquire the ability to read rapidly. This i- to some extent a matter of habit involving the training of the eye to compass a group of words at once, yielding phrase or sentence reading instead of word reading; and also the training of the mind to grasp and assimilate ideas quickly. While the reverberations of that school-boy shout conic down to me only as a pleasant memory, the call to books has lost none of its charm, and I need not apologize for passing it on to my sclwol-boy friends of today. Let the good old sliout Bo-o-o-o-ks! continue to ring in glad response to the school-master's call. Let book-learning continue to dignify and give worth to the work of our schools. Let all the children of all the people. whatever may lie their vocation, lte-comc lovers of Ixioks, and merit all their days the honorable stigma of being “book worms. II
