THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., WEDNESDAY, NOV.. 1,-1922.
OBSERVANCE OF BOOK WEEK FOR CHILDREN SET FOR NOV. 20-25 Children's book week Is to be observed Nov. 20 to 25 in this city. Mrs. Ada L. Bernhardt, librarian at Morrison-Reeves library, will co-operate with the public schools in the observation of this week. The movement has been started by the American Library association, the American Booksellers' association, and the Boy Scouts of America, and is endorsed by schools, churches, clubs, libraries, boy scouis and publishers throughout the country. It is the one time in the ear when all these organizations unite in an effort to encourage the buying of better books as well as more books in the home, the school, and the ' library. The Jnodern child , should be surrounded with books which enlarge his world, broaden his sympathies, stimulate his imagination, and extend his knowledge. It is not essential that a
child should read a great number of
books but those that he does read should be books of more than mere
casual interest. So many stories are
published today which are not a viciously harmful as the old thrillers.
"Deadwood Dick," "Sink or Swim " or
"Crimson Stain," but which concern themselves with mere trivial things and petty commonplaces. Unfit for Children
The reading of such books does not call for mental energy or imagination,
nor does it give the child a taste for
that which is really good in litera
ture. As one writer says, "These
books of small souls, with trivial vices and trivial virtues, a narrow point of view, characteristic of mediocrity, are
wholly unfit to make a deep, permanent impression on the young reader. They may for tho moment be accepred as pleasant enough playmRtes, but are lacking in the qualities found in life friends. Such literary workmanchip misses fire for want of the inner truth of the characters described and because of their illogical development in connection with the narrative." Instead of giving the child such commonplace books we can give their, stories from the old folk tales, stories from Norse, Sagas, legends from Kim; Arthur, hero tales of Greece or Rome. We can put into their hands stories of the courageous pioneers, Danie! Boone, Kit Carson or David Crocket, and vivid accounts of the inspiring lives of such men as Lincoln, Washington or Roosevelt. "Examine All Books. Granted a recognition of the desire to choose only the best books for children what are some of the means through which the selection may be made. Wherever possible books should be examined in the local book stores. The purchaser should not be deceived by low price or attractive cover for often the inferior story comes in such editions. Where there is no local book Btore the purchase may be made through the bookstores in the larger cities of the states. When the books can not be read or examined before purchase the buyer will have to depend upon printed comment. Lists of north while books of children's literatnra may be obtained from the local library. Parents, it is said, should make it their duty to interest themselves in what their children are reading. Parents, especially in rural communities, should buy a few good books for their children. Attention of mothers to some some of the recent articles published
on children s reading. ine uoou Housekeeping," for October 1922, has a very good article, "Your Children and Their Books," which tells mothers to begin early in making books a part of the child's life. The autumn number of "Children's Royal," contains a splendid article on "Youthful Adventures in Patriotism" which emphasizes the importance of giving children "histories that vitally recreat events and men." This article includes a list of books "oa American history.

RESIGNATIONS FOLLOW CHARGE ATTENDANCE OFFICER IS HINDERED

Difficulties encountered in the enforcement of the school attendance law were presented today to the state board of education In a report by Miss Blanche Merry, attendance officer. Following the meeting, it was announced that Lloyd McKinsev, attendance officer of Warren county, would be asked to resign.

The resignation of LeRoy Scoles, assistant state school inspector, was presented to the board. Mr. Scoles says he has accepted another position. W. E. Wagner, of Rushville, was appointed as successor to Mr. Scoles.

The abbreviation "Penns" for Pennsylvania and t5he misspelled street address "Berkeley" for Berkley, are also considered important, although the authorities admit the person writing
the label may have done so with in tent to deceive.

steady Job, to be able to support his
family without charity and in order
to maintain self-respect. Money appropriated by the last leg islature for the new feeble-minded in
stitution has not yet been put to use, she pointed out. Partisan politics should be kept out of such an urgent

Johnson declared, "did more to demor

This latter, venture has been undertaken by the General Air Service. Officials of the British Air Ministry state that they are prepared to offer any assistance. It is not impossible that the trans-oceanic airway will be run in conjunction with the British Government's Indian service. A special fleet of huge aircraft will be constructed for the route between London and New York. Each ship will be 900 feet long. 114 feet in diameter ' and capable of carrying 100 passengers. They wul have a cruising speed of 75 miles per hour compared with 23 knots now attained by the speediest ocean liners. ' Bankers, commercial representatives and government officials will profit by this extraordinary reduction in the time required to cross the Atlantic. Additional shiDs will be constructed as the popularity of air travel increases among tourists to and from the United States. The journey from New York to London will take 4$ hours. The passenger quarters will consist of well-furnished state-rooms, comnlete restaurant facilities, music and every provision for comfort and convenience.

C. Wilson is presiding clerk, assisted
by Susan T. Pridgeon and Helen E. Harper. In responding to a welcome the English Friends spoke of the growing attachment to American Friends. That, they said, was greatly helped by their co-operation in the reconstruction work in Europe.
