Some children will need no urging to read, but on the other hand will be so fond of reading as to interfere with proper exercise and outdoor play. Books on nature subjects will be good for these children for if they become interested and learn to love the things of outdoors this in itself will act as an antidote for over-bookishness.

Best and most important of all is to teach them a love and appreciation of the Bible. It is our greatest literature, our truest guide to all that is good in life. In it is a never-ending source of pleasure and inspiration.

IN THE WOODS

 
In the woods the leaves are green,
In the woods a golden sheen
Falls upon the flowers;
In the woods the robin gay
Sings a happy roundelay,
Perched in bloomy bowers.
 
 
In the woods the squirrel flits
High among the trees, or sits
Basking in the light;
In the woods I love to lie,
Gazing at the blue, blue sky
With its clouds so bright.
