In the second place, read with some
definite aim. Get all the good you
can out of the reading. If you read
Scott, find out all you can of the his
tory which forms the background of
his stories. Don't be content to read
Dickens without a knowledge of the
author himself. If you are a lover of
nature and can find an appreciative
audience, read John Burroughs "Pe
pacton", "Winter Sunshine" and Oth
ers; also Maurice Thompson's "Byways
and Bird-notes" and learn something
from them. If you want history and
can't endure "dry bones" there is noth
ing better than McMaster's "History
of the People of the United States",
and Green's "History of the English
People". If you yearn for poetry, be
sure and satisfy yourself with strong
