Every family should be supplied with books, and each household should, as far as their ability will allow, procure a family library. There is no estimating the value! of a few well-selected books. Chil­ dren should be induced to begin early to improve their minds, and nothing draws them more to study than good, sound periodical litera­ ture, and well-selected books— books adapted to their age and pro­ gress and their education. Money ‘ cannot be better expended. Instead of toys and perishable gifts, pur­ chase books (or your children. Every few months add something new to the library, and be sure to preserve the old works. Let there be in the house a book-case, shelves some place where~ffie books’ISH!“ papers are deposited; have them carefully preserved and soon a little handful will swell into armfuls, and the minds of the children will ex­ pand with the increase of the li­ brary until a good store will be found in the house, and much knowledge will bo gained by the growing children. Good books, a taste for reading, will keep the children at home and make them happy in the family circle, when otherwise thev will be straying off, hunting society, look­ ing for something to engage the mind and satisfy the cravings of a hungry intellect. Games and worldly amusements are substituted for books and intellectual culture, where there is no library at Eome, no food found for the inquiring mind. Let parents think of these things. Mucb, very much depends on the early training of the child in regard to study, as well as other thing <— E jc . Manual Labor with Schools. .Some Eastern papers arc advo­ cating the plan of devoting a little of school time to manual training. The Springfield Republican says that in the Dwight Grammar School, of Boston, last winter, boys were given lessons of two hours each day in the practical use of carpenter’s tools, and that the plan showed marked success. All the boys shgived great interest in the work, also? retaining the required standard rn their lessons. The change .from the schodLiotttn was decidedly beneficial. The expenses of this instruction were paid by an t “ SIKTGKIDXl?’ associatioh seeking to promote this form of education( An industrial SEWINC MACHINESi ...
