A to follow a fixed d exeess in any plan in eanck Choose not only what seems zood in itself whit seems to fit in to make a diversified and well balanced selection. Amonz the subjects vou must include are history, biographs fiction, poetry. trave and adventu e miscellineons subjects, which An important point 1o remember When arranging a reading course is thit quality rather than quantity Lrinzs real pleasure and profit. Choose Ccertain century or half century and select the best hooks that were writ ten during that period. Your Hheavian or teacher will help vou select these By this method vou will xain a great deal of information abo the man ners and customs, and the speech and history of the period vou have select ed. or vo which yo choase a subject in can ve particularly interested Aand seleci the books that have a bearing on that subjec History Among 1) duar h nowill Acrive fr eading history none will be sreater than acqujring an accu rate kn dze of life in her centu ries than r own, for history does not confine ftself to accounts of great deeds, famous battles and wise states men It also reveals the life of the people of the past. It tells of thei sirugsles, of expression of their thoughts and ideals in literature, and of their progress in the industrial arts ou with their pleasures, <, their sports, their la s and their fears Tt acquaints 3 their i bors hards! their nderstanding de shortcomings of the life of vou will far hetter appreciate the excellence of the new. Readinz his tory will make vou better satisfied with the generation in which you live, f you will realize that there never was & “zolden age” of the past that wa B0 full as the present aze of those ad vantages and privileges that make for happiness. If rightly know the past, as history alone can teach it You will never again believe that the present is inferior to former ages Reading the history of our own coun try is & patriotic duty. Blography. Many and varied are the advantages that vyou will derive from reading biography. Since great men and women are said to represent the ideals of the age in which they live, reading biography will give an ‘intimate view of different historical periods and make known to you some of the great est characters of history. Although it may have its lighter moments, his tory is essentially sober, but biogr: phy may touch” upon the lighter phases af life, and take you into quaint and delightful byway: Fictlon. S0 much fiction has become truly classic that vou cannot hope to be considered broadly educated until you have acquainted yourself with a large number of standard novels and some of the most representative short stories. Fiction often reveals the life of interesting peoples or throws a clear lizht on important periods of history without actually recounting historical events. A novel, and usually a rt story, has some underlyving theme as foundation for the struc ture, a background for the plcture, Sometimes it is patriotic Again, it ma be the life peculiar to certain places. or it may be some special tralt of human nature, or a problem of human life, Fiction shows yon what the masters thought of life and its problems. By displaying their own Ideals in the ac tlons of true charecters, and by set ting forth their dislikes and disap- provals in the actions of those char ters who are base, they tell you clear 1v enough what they believed about sible Benefit From Various velops a consciousness of the music 1t may lie in the rhythmical combi nation of syllables and words. It is 1150 4ne of the surest ways of increas ing the vocabulary. Shades of mean inz and delicicies of axpression are re Veiled much oftener in verse than in here is no surer path to the appre . ion of language than that of thonghtfully reading poetry.

Again You may go with explorers who seek not the unknown of the present. but | rather the little known of the past. They may take vou to China, to India to ERYpt or to South America, where long ago mighty tions flourish ed and decayed. Or, again, vou may follow game trails in wild and distant | countries, with famous sportsmen and naturalists | Reading hooks of travel will take vou into remote places and introduce You to the lite of peoples who ave as vet little known.

In it vou will | find hooks of science, religion and| philosophy, collections of essavs and | orations, dramas, books of humor and hooks that deal with varied aspects | of nature. The great orations of all | reading. Some great orators are like | historians, picturing the past: some | are like seers, Interpreting the pres- ent, and others are prophets, who | life, how they enjoved its pleasures, and with what bravery they faced the difficulties and discouragemenits that are common to humanity Reading fictlon is like hearing the hest talk of great authors, when they are in their supreme moods. Tt is lis tening to their very thoughs. We should also find in reading fiction one of the most delightful forms of men tal recreation. On the other hand the reading of fiction should only be a change from your chief interests, not be made itself the chief interest. Poetry. The realm of poetry is as wide as the world. We are free to wander through it, to take as nur own what we like best, and to leave the rest for others, The man or woman who knows the poets has no doubts or misgivings ahont the essential goodness of human character and the nobility of human destiny. Resides quickening the mind and the emotions, the reading of poetry de The heart that is hardened to sorrow, Refusing to share the world's grief, Will be hardened to ql‘e.dness tomorrow — Or such is my righteous belief.
