Due to | the richness of the material, it {is impossible to find the time in school to let the children read everything they would enjoy. Also since home reading and home discussion give par- ents the opportunity to keep in close touch with the children's thoughts and work, the parents welcomed the idea. Fach mother took the name. of a different book, and arrangements were made for exchanging these books as soon as they were read. On Thursday, October 20, Mrs. Ar- thur J.
