The Care of Books

CHILDREN should be taught how best to take care of books, and ought never to be permitted to throw or bang them about or tear them in pieces. They should be encouraged to accumulate volumes, and to do this must have a place in which to keep them. Good, plain book-shelves cost but little, and every child should have a set. In one well-ordered household there are five youngsters, between the ages of five and fifteen years. Each child has a bookcase, and each member is expected to take care of his or her own possessions, to be responsible for them, and to exercise absolute control and ownership over them.—Detroit News and Tribune.
