A child's tastes are formed largely through the influence of the home he lives in. If father «nd mother read books and en- joy them, the children will en- joy them too. But if there are no books in the house, if nobody reads, how can the child learn~ to like books? Reading for Pleasure Reading for pleasure is one of the finest habits a child can cul- tivate. It will make him com- pletely happy in an excellent way. It is cheaper, cleaner, healthier, than many another habit harder to form. Then why do not more children read at home? Because there are no books to read. EVhen a child comes into the family his library ought to be started. Buy him a picture book as soon as he begins handling things. &Iake it a good picture book A book full of kindly ani- nials, well colored is fine. The books of ships, the book of dogs, all of them are good. Then comes Mother Goose. She lays the foundation of literature for our children. Then add Esop Fables, fairy tales, Peter Rab bit, and go on from there. Give the child a book for every holi. day time. Books are as neces. sary to him as sweets and toys. A bit of chocolate, a good book, one good toy is a princely fort- une for a child. Leave one out and the treat is spoiled. DEATH OF F. E. ARMSTRONG V Frank E.

Stephen on Canadian litera- ture, illustrated by a number of selected readings, enjoyed a lit- erary treat. Mr. Stephen was equally at home, whether in re- citing poems of a serious vein, such as his os, 'The Golden Bells of Samarcand," or in some of the humorous verses of Drum- mond and Daly where a high sense of humor and the ability to render the broken English of the French-Canadian and Ital- ian was necessary. Mr. Stephen prefaced his readings by a very illuminating addi]ess on Cana- dian literature, and particularly Canadian poetry, tracing its be- ginning among the United Em- pire Loyalists, in the 5Iaritime Provinces and Upper Canada up to the present day. He empha- sized the necessity of studying and cultivating a love for Cana- dian literature among our peo- Iile and school children, if we were to become a truly great llat ioli, During the evening the High School students gave several mu- sical numbers, consisting of choruses, duets and instrumental selections, which were much ap- preciated by those present. The Amputations Association of the Great IVar were granted permission to tag in IVest Van cnuver, but not on the ferry boats, on Saturday, June 8th. A challenge to the continent . A gA ROLLING Itoct is a dead losg gnle~ tt jg tatb Street cars in the shops do not earn a cent. The B. C. Electric can claun one of the lowest records on the continent for cars in the shops during the rush hours. On street car systems in general 10 to 15 per cent. of the cars are in the shops for repairs, etc. Only 2 per cent. of the B. C. Electric cars are out of service in the evening rush hours. There are 260 cars in the Vancouver city system and seldom more than 5 cars are in the shops for repair in the evening rush hours. This record is accomplished by having all posaiMa repair work finished by I o'lock in the afternoon by a systematic and rigid inspection system aud by mechanical efFiciency in the shops. This eaiciency finds expression in the service which the public receives. ~~rSHCMrmalM " &~~nmrC14uwmCa vhNcoUvErt V1CTOR1h QW. $49 SPRINKLING PER&IITS EIIPIRE DAY CELEBRATION TO BE iIETERED AT NORTH VAiN.
