The After-Effect of Stories.—It is well to remember that the child’s taste for reading is largely influenced by the class of stories told to him in early life, and in these days of plentiful, cheap literature, how important it is that the youthful mind should be trained to appreciate that which is good.
If a child has learned to gloat over horrible stories, he will gratify this morbid taste by reading ghastly tales as he grows older, and if, on the other hand, he has learned to love stories that are simple and pure, he will choose reading that is good and elevating.
INDEX
The intelligent use of an index requires careful thought and practice upon the part of the reader or consulter. Many books are over-indexed, and trifling allusions, or even words, made to swell the index. It is obvious, therefore, that a book of moderate compass should use only sufficient space to reveal the important general subjects treated. Besides the general index, the following self-indexing dictionaries and departments should be consulted:
