BAIRD & wARNER SUBMIT ·Central-Laurel P. T . . A.. (Contributed) Can parents direct a child's reading? Carleton W. Washburne, superintendent of Winnetka schools, has made an extensive research along this line and published a book to guide teache.r s and parents in the selection of books for children. At the November meeting of the P. T. A. Tuesday afternoon he told in a most interesting way how to direct a child's reading, not by forcing books upon him, hut by selecting good books for gifts, and reading aloud in the home the best literature. He maintained that many of the best sellers of the day may be classed as fifth to eighth grade reading, but are not suitable for childrt-n to read. There is also danger of giving a child books that are too difficult for him, which might kill his interest in all books. Reading ability does not coincide with the grade the child is in, and his teacher may be · able to advise the parent what grade books he is capable of reading. Through books we live vicariously, which accoq,nts for a boy's love for hooks of adventure and a girl's choice of books about the home and school. He said not to be worried if a chil<.l · sometimes reads so - called trashv hooks. as we all like a tittle of the frivolous sand,viched in with the more worth-while in books, plays, and music.
