THE CROSS-WORD CRAZE
This is a great country for fads, and seldom does a
month pass without a new one sweeping over it. Just about
one out of a thousand of these fads are really worth while
or beneficial. But now a beneficial one seems to have ap
peared in the foiin of the cross-word puzzle, which is claim
ing many devotees around Vernonia. Teachers and learn
ed men all over the country are endorsing it, because it
means that those who try to solve cross-word puzzles must
resort to the dictionary, and thereby become more familiar
with our language. They argue that nothing yet discovered
serves to acquaint young people with English words and
their meaning as quickly as cross word puzzles. It makes
them search for definitions and strange w’ords, words en
tirely new to them, and these are being added to their
vocabulary. Instead of passing quickly, as most fads do,
this one appears to be gaining in popularity all the time.
And that is doubtless because it is a sensible fad, and one
that proves beneficial to both old and young.
