ON GUARD AT READING GATE!

It is a fine thing to guard our homes against alien soldiers of whose purposes we are all aware. But it is also very important to guard them against other insidious foes that creep in under the disguise-r-of* friendly entertainers to plunder and destroy the cherished ideals, the lofty standards, the clear views that have given the home its character. If you will familiarize your young people with the best reading, they will not be likely to crave what is inferior and demoralizing. The Youth's Companion is a powerful influence in awakning a taste for what is best in reading. It is on guard at the reading gate! Nothing cheap, mean or hateful passes its challenge.
