rid) Great Writers On Reading By R. ST-CYR "When I am reading~a book, whether wise or silly, it seems to me to be alive and talking to me. Sometimes I read a book with pleasure and detest the author. It is easy enough for a man to walk who has a horse at his command. The invalid is not to be pitied who |. has a cure up his sleeve. And such is the advantage I receive from books. "They relieve me from idleness, rescue. me from: company I dis- like, and blunt the edge of my grief, if it fs not too extreme. They are the comfort and solitude of my ld age. When I am attacked by floomy thoughts, nothing helps me &> much as the running to my books. They quickly absorb me and Panish the clouds from my mind. And they don't rebel because. I sue them only for lack of pastimes more natural and alive. They al- * ways receive me with welcome." ... Montaigne. ; "Let us read with method, and propose to--ourselves an end to what our studies may point. The use of reading is to aid: us in thinking . . . Edward Gibbon. "Books are to be called for and supplied on the assumption that the process of reading is not half- asleep; but in the highest sense an exercise, a gymnastic shkruggile; that the reader is to do sormething for himself. . . . Walt Whitman. "How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the read- ing of a book. The book exists for us perchance which will explain our miracles and reveal new ones. The at present unutterable things we find somewhere uttered. These same questions that -disturb and puzzle and confound us have in their turn occurred to the wise men; not one has been omitted; and each has answered them ac- cording to his ability, by his word and his life.' . .. Henry David Thoreau. ' "Book Jove, my friends, is your pass to the greatest, the purest and the most perfect pleasure that God has prepared for His crea- tures. It lasts when all other re- creations fade. It will support you and last' you till your death. It will make your hours pleasant to you as long as you live."... An- thony Trollope. With the advice of such great authors as the ones' above I feel that there is nothing that I could .possibly add, to entreat you to read further, or more, I am sure that your librarians will be glad to help you to choose some very interesting reading matter. There - is countless knowledge, life, hu- mour and pleasure that can be reaped from the huge harvest of books in your brary.
