Yean Ago hy Booksellers
. Association, Proposes
'More Books in Homes.
l or third time the public libra
ries of Omaha are to observe, with
a large exhibit, the now nation-wide
Children's Dock week. These books
of interet to children and to those
clojely conneeled with children, such
a parents and teacher, will he on
display at the Omaha public library.
Wednesday, November 9, and will
continue through November 1'.'. ,
"More book in the home" it the
slogan of this movement which was
utarted three year asto by the Amer
ican Hook Her' association. ThU,
the bonksfllrrs declare, is not a sel
fish Felling proposition, but a con
certed effort to brin& more and
better books into the home. The
most progressive people 'in the book
M'lling business are realizing what
was pointed to them a number of
years ago, that "juvenile re.tding Is
an assi't. and that if trash is cold to
the children of today, that they will
kill their trade in real hooks of to
morrow, because the child brought
up on trash does not grow up a
reader rf hooks and a builder of a
personal library."
Seek For Selection.
Manv children have the advantage
of well-selected good book collcc
linns, but too often the books which
chance and not careful selection. I his
is what t'ic librarian is striving for.
She. is not attempting to put forth
arbitrary titles, as many people feel
is her one aim in life, but to bring to
the child's notice such books as will
train them to appreciate the good,
the beautiful and the true in art, lit
erature, and life.
She wants to see books published
that will make children happy and
build character unconsciously, such
tales of valor and chivalry as "Kim?
Arthur," "Book of Golden Deeds,"
"Wonderbook of old Romance," or
"Story of Roland" or modem ver
sions such as Parknian's "Heroes of
Today," Uiis' "Making of an Ameri
can," or "Widow O'Callaghan's
Boys."
Three Factors in Life.
The home, school and library are
three important factors in child-life
today. In the home, the natural en
vironment of the child, the oppor
tunity for guiding .the reading and
surrounding the child with books
which are worth while is very great.
In the school, the teacher, if she
knows her books, can aid materially,
and in the library an effort is being
made to help toward this end.
' This exhibit is one means toward
ti "v one common aim. Here will
be dund wonderful illustrated edi
tions of such bid favorites as "Trea
sure Island." "Kidnapped," "Robin
son Crusoe," and "Child's Garden of
Verse." These are illustrated by
artists in sympathy with, children,
such Si Randall Parrish, N. H.
Wyeth.and Jessie W.ilcox Smith.
lere also will De louna encapir tui

collections such as fairy tales, tales
of chivalry, talcs for Boy Scouts aim
Campfire Girls, tales of humorr in
trOducing Lofting's- "Dr. Doolittle,
with whith many children have not
yet become acquainted.
As a special feature of the exhibit,
plans will be given' for a bookcase
