A 'shockheaded boy drifted into' the
library the other day. . He asked in the
: children' department 'for' "Peck's Bad
Boy." - . " ,---
"We have it," said Mi&s Jessile Hodge
, Millard, the children's librarian, "but
3 don't want you to have it." y
The boy went away. Presently!, his
.father came. He stormed. Wihy can't
my, boy have 'Peck's Bad B&yT ? - The
librarian referred gently to certain ob
jectionable 'passages in the book. Then
, she said: - - - . - J '
4 "I didn't want to take the responsi
bility for letting your boy have the
.-.book: But you may have it to give
y : him If you wish to accept the esponsl-
' " biKty. i ..
, The man took the book.' But "before
s he?, left he read, at the librarian's re
quest, some of the paragraph marked
In It. ' ' I
VBETTJBXS TO APOLOGIZE I
T want to offer an apology," he
said, coming back to the desk. "I
. wouldnt let my boy read that book for
a, thousand dollars, because of some of
the things I have just seen in it. But
I didn't see those things there when" I
. read 'Peck'SaBad Boy as a youngster."
- Seeking something to read, ; another
boy came to Miss Mabel Harris, head
of the children's . book department
down at 'Gill's. He immediately began
browsing among the blood and thim
, tier stuff. Miss Harris took him, over
to t looking glass.
, '- v "Do you see that boy in the frame?"
fshe asked. I -'.,
The boy grinned sheepishlyi .
.' "That boy." persisted Misai Harris,
-."has a. good head.' He has room for a
Ktod mental work shop. But suppose
lis Just throws trashy reading Into that
'-work shop. He will soon have it as
badly cluttered as an old attic won't
he? But suppose .he reads things 'that
- be will remember, things that iwiU fur-
- Irish tools for him In the futnr.r H.
.will be a good citizen, doing! good in
; the world. Which do you think would
- be better?" - ..--

But don't ret the idea that readina
CTood books means that children roust
read naroby pamby books. They can
read blood and thunder If it is realist
tic and teaches a bit of chivalry, self
reliance, kindness, protection of the
weak. They can read romance, if it
is pure nomance and not extravagant,
perhaps suggestive, stuff. ' They can
get In touch with real life safely at
an early ape, provided it is' real life
they find - in books and nflt unreal
stuff that will make them self sym
pathizers, selfish, brutal, coarse or
dishonest. ,v. . ' - ? . .
BBI5GS NEr.IDEA :
; : Children's J Boolf week brings but a
new idea. Uferarles are mentioned
flrst when there tare i discussions of
reading. ; But hook" atores. it h'as been
found. . share, freaponsibility with the
libraries."?.
Mabel Harris,' f or instance, says she
finds she la' se!lmg:jnore than hooks.
She " is selling . tools for the mentart
workshop, v She ts selling vision; cour
age, romance and steadfastness. There
fore, she -hesitates to sell books
that would poison ; the mind, just as
an honest druggist hesitates to sell
drugs - that - would ? poison the body.
Thereforeithe book sellers' duty Is to
snake close contact with the life and
the personalities of customers and' fur
nish that which . will provide best
equipment at the most formative,
period in life. Working on this idea.
Gill's has developed a children's de
partment that is one of the most un
usual of Us kind In the country.
SIGKS ESCOtTKAGIJfO
Speaking from a long, experience in
filling children's minds. Miss Jessie
Hodge Millard, head of the juvenile
reading department of. the . public li-'
brary. Said:
"It seems one of the most encour
aging signs of the times in an epoch
which we have grown to regard as so
purely utilitarian that so many people
are-strlving so earnestly and success
fully to make childhood happier. This
age has well been called the age of
the-discovery of the child. Educators,
parents and: others are awakening to
thefact.'that 'Wat their children read
and aftsorb into their minds is just as
essential to the'ir growth and develop
ment as their food and exercise.
"So to make a child's mind healthy
we must feed it on wholesome books.
The' influence which' a book exerts on
a -v -child's taste and - character should
not. .-be' Ignored" and the best books
should be furnished' at a time when
the" reading will -prove especially at
tractive to his inquiring mind." -
