Thl« Should Be Result of a Child'*
Training and With It He Will
Eduoate Himself.
Prom the total training during
childhood there should result in the
child n taste for interesting and im-j
proving reading, which should direct)
and inspire its subsequent intel
lectual life. That schooling which
results in this taste for good rend-,
jng, however unsystematic or eccen-
tric the schooling may have been, has
achieved a main *'ud of elementary
education; and that schooling which
does not result in implanting this
permanent, taste has failed. Guided
and animated by this impulse to ac-
quire knowledgo and exercise his
imagination, through reading, the.
individual will continue to educate
himself all through life. Without
that deep-rooted impression he will,
soon cease to draw on tho accumu-
lated wisdom of tho past and tho new
resources of the present, and, as ho
grows older lie will live in a mental
atmosphere which is always growing
thinner and emptier. Do we not all
knew many people who seem to live:
in a mental vacuum—to whom, in-
deed, we have great difficulty in at-
tributing immortality, l>ecauae they
apparently have so little life except
that of the body ? Fifteen minute# a
day of good reading would have,
given anyone of this multitude a
really human life. The uplifting of
the democratic masses depends on
tfeii implanting at school of the taste
of good'reading.

A Fierce Night Alarm

child, suddenly attacked by croup.
Often it aroused Lewis Cliamblin
of Manchester, 0.,[R.R.No.2] for
their four children were greatly
subject to croup. "Sometimes in
severe attacks," he wrote "we were
afraid they would die, but since we
proved what a certain remedy Dr.
King's New Discovery is, we have
119 fear. We rely on it for croup
ancMor coughs, colds or any throat
or lung trouble " So do thousands
of others. So may you- Asthma,

Cough, Hemorrhages fly before it.
