C.,, MARCH 15, YOU AND UNCLE SAM Series of Educational Articles Telling How Federal Govern- ment Is Organized and How It Functions—Written Expressly for School Children. No. 41—Let Uncle Sam Direct Your Reading. No matter where you live. Uncle Sam is ready to lead vou to romance, travel, adventure, general or spe- cialized knowledge, into the realms of poetry or along any of the many lines of engineering or science. He glves every individual citizen an op- portunity to know the world's he- roes, explorers and inventors, and to cultivate a love for poetry and the other arts. One feature of the work done in the home. education division of the Jnited States Bureau of Education is supplying reading courses planned by experts in each particular line. This work is directed by Miss Ellen Lombard, who previously was Super- intendent of practice In the Boston Training School for Teachers. Twenty-eight of these courses have been prepared, and there are about 20,000 applicants a year for the courses, which means many times that number of readers. Miss Lom- bard recelves 1,400 to 1,500 letters a month about this work. There are now special collaborators in about half the States and public schools, public libraries and State universities are co-operating. Titles Illustrate Entire Field. The titles of the last thres courses compiled will give an illustra\pn of how the entire field of literature is covered and how Uncle Sam is ne- deavoring to build up the taste, not only of boys and girls, but also to give opportunity for home education to many who were deprived of the chance early in life. One course is “Sixty .Selected Stories for Boys and Girls,” another Is “Poetical Litera- ture for Boys and Girls.” and the latest new course {s “Kindergarten Ideals in Home and School.” A group of 76 boys and girls in the seventh grade in Brunswick and Cumber- land, Md., have just completed the course In poetical literature under the direction of their teachers. This shows how the Interest is spread- ing. For ten years Miss Lombard has been chairman of home education for the National Congress of Parent- Teacher Associations, and in this way has direct contact with 700,000 women interested in carrying for- ward the crusade. Through these local leaders Miss Lombard is trying to get the people in each State to realize the importance of having books in the homes and the impor- tance of the parents reading to the children in the homes. She is rec- ommending dally that parent-teacher assoclations should organize circles to stimulate home readings so that the boys and girls will grow up with the habit of reading the best litera- ture, and the 28 reading courses al- ready prepared, and more to follow, are being offered to such circles, Many Fall to Reach High School. While the number of men and women attending high schools and colleges Is increasing yearly, there are still many thousands who leave school before reaching high school— and these, as well as the boys and girls, Uncle Sam wishes to encourage to_develop a habit of good readins. In hundreds of communities there are no public librarfes and few books in the homes. Inymany com- munities in which lbraries are es- tablished the people have not de- veloped the reading habit. In every community considerable numbers do not read even a dally newspaper. For these people the only information comes from contact with their nolghbors, the news is confined to gossip which Is tongued from door to door. For them the world of books, which would furnish a glimpse of great deeds, of people who have struggled upward, of great issues, great ideals and purposes, Is un- known. It is to awaken them and usher them {nto a larger future that these reading courses are planned. These people are not confined to one State, nor to any one section of the United States. If means are not provided by which such people may enrich their llves, and unless these opportunities are brought to their attention, they suffer an inestimable loss and their children also must suffer. So_this woman sitting in an office In Washington studies how to make people throughout the States con- scious of what they lack in the way of home education and how to reach them appealingly with reading courses carefully prepared by the best authorities. Committees in 17 States. Co-operating in this nation-wide stimulation of the reading habit, 17 States have organized home educa- tion committees to work out the problem of reaching the homes with a better type of literature. Two other recent courses broadcast by this Federal agency which have attracted particular attention re- cently are “Citizenship and Govern- ment” and “Pathways to Health.” “It is a tragedy that our boys and girls have had so little help In the selection of the right kind of reading matter,” says Miss Lombard. And she Is laboring with a woman's per- sistency to correct this condition throughout all the States by en- couraging the cultivation of the habit of reading the best that litera- ture affords So you see there are folks in Uncle Sam’'s service working out their ideals and in a practical way help- ing the citizens to make their lives better, broader and brighter and to tmprove the intellectual atmosphere of the home. Of course, Uncle Sam has to haggle over taxes and appropriations, but he also takes Interest and pride in such efforts to improve the quality of our eitizenship. (Coprright, 1925, by Will P. Kennedy.) The forty-second article in this series will be on “Setting Up and Maintaining Standards.” 1t will be printed in this paper next Wednesda e T " cCnesday. GLEE CLUB CONCERT TO BE GIVEN AT G.
