Clo omyDean Tells PVhat ToReadAnd How To Read It
1101113011, Iebruary 114-11111 Very Raw William Ralph Inge, "Gloomy Dean" of 5t. Paul's Cathedral, beli- evu reading. ewspapcrs, particu- larly when going to or from work, is of great value, principally because people then do not talk while they read.
To further the idea he would have "smoking" and “no smoking" signs on railroad subur trains changed to "talking" and "no talking."
Discussing the art of reading, Dean Inge said there were "fewer really great books" today and insisted the problem of what to read daily was becoming more complex.
"Ihis, of course, is a reading age," hesaid. “Iamassuredthat m. nteen million persons in this country read on an average twelve books each s.
million people who read newspapers —at least, the betting news and per- hops a_ crime or two. '
“This reading is quite a new thing. The ancients did not read much, but the Romans used to read aloud a great deal. Now, some people read a great deal too much, just as some people talk too much. Rapid talking is a habit which one may fall into like the habit of drinking. The worst of it is that nothing sticks.
“I want to put in a word for read- ing aloud. lf you read to yourself you read much too fast. If you read aloud you go just the right pace. My wife and I read aloud to each other every morning
"Poetry, of course, is always meant to be read aloud.
“Another important maxim is to stop from time to time for thought of what you have read. 1 am a great believer in taking notes. Another thing I believe in for the young is
‘learning by heart’. Some young men make the mistake of reading too many hours a day. No one can do hard brain work for more than seven hours a day.
"Read what you enjoy. Reading against the grain simply means that nothing sticks. Our reading should be focussed round our chief interests. not always round them, but expand- ing them.
"Of course, we ought not to read only English books. Then. what for- eign books‘! Certainly the Bible. There is no book which loses so lit- tic in translation.
"Whatever books you read. if they are not worth reading rather slowly. they are not worth reading at all.“
The btssiners men retired and went to live in the country. In due course a neighbor called on his wife-
Bhe said: "I hear your husband has taken up hunting. Do you ap- prove of that!”
, "I don't know about approving," laid the spcrhmanh wife, "but it makn life more exciting. We never know which to expect home first, my Inland er the horse." ________

Twenty Years ago, M1". and Mrs. James McDonald, now resident in Calgary, were living m Ban-e, one evening it was discovered that their little son was missing. Police were notified immediately but, despite searches in the district, no trace of the lad was found.
For years the loss was acutely felt by the parents and, finally, the mem- cry was only as of one who had died.

your-s Eldridse was 111-sated and hurried away to tho home of a Ger- man couple, where he was reared, believing for 15 years that the Ger- man couple were his parents. His first memories after Barre were of Cincinnati, where they lived until 1910, and then of Hollywood, Cali- fornia.
Five years ago there was a domes- tic quarrel and the "father" hotly told the young man that he was no son of his.
Neither the man nor the woman could tell Eldridge the name of his parents-An fact, could give no in- formation save that his father foi- lowed the monument business. Then started the young man's search which took him several times across the continent, through 43 states and from one end of Canada to the other.

Chance brought the son back to his parents‘ arms. While in Boston, last fall, Eldridge heard the story of the kidnapping of a lad in Barre and heard that the father's name was McDonald. Inquiries among friends in Boston disclosed that the McDon- a.ld whose son was kidnapped had gone to Calgary, and immediately the lad set out for the Alberta city. Ho reached Calgary and speedily found his father.
After a short holiday in Calgary the boy became a. partner with his father in business and l8 HOW b"! in the Vermont city where he is learning sand blasting in one 0f the larger plants of the granite center. He will return to his parents in the very near future.
