There are many people who never had much ‘education, but who are commonly referred to as "well posted." Those folks can talk intelligently on almost any subject. In many cases they have not read much but newspapers. But they read intelligbntly., They have a thirst for information, and they want to know what is going on in the world. _ % | A good newspaper will in a few months contain inforinatim) and opinions on a very wide range of human affairs. A person who follows the daily and weekly story of human life and has a reasonably good ‘memory, has gone a Considerable distance toâ€" ward self education. 3# > q The good newspaper reader should not limit himself to any «me journal. He needs both the news of his home city and of the country and world at large, and he needs to read all sides of politiâ€" calâ€"opinions. Though the careful newspaper reader may never travel far away from his home town, he knows more of what is going on in the world than many who travel more widely, The first habit that an uneducated young person who is amâ€" bitious for advance ought to form, is that of discriminating readâ€" ing of newspapers. That does not mean that he must x‘figg everyâ€" thing that the newspapers publish. They print many things that do not promote education, because the public demands to be amused as well as informed. A climber has got to learn to pass somewhat lightly over the entertaining features of the newsâ€" paper, and pick those that will add to his information and exâ€" perience. j | LOCAL AND PERSONAL NEWS | print considerable froth aiargxfipha;%r;fi‘;fiy: vtlfi';f;ifhappe“um;i‘;lgs, the fact remains that the careful reader of a good newspaper gets an enormous amount of information. 7 I further aid for Eurob_e.-“"T}â€"x;i:";v;ylwlie;"‘aa“nvé;; .

Who can imagine what might have been had the United States not chosen to meet the war abroad inâ€" stead of having the war come to our shores! flce America had reason to participate in that war; her: rights were being trampled and her citizens killed.
