BOOKS
(Courier-Journal, Raleigh)
What is a book? A few sheets of paper on
which are written or printed characters, bound
together' A scroll of parchment bearing pic
tures or characters that convey meaning and
preserve facts? Tablets of stone or pieces of
bark, rinv pamphlet and mammoth tome? Yes;
but a bock is much more than this.
Books are the storehouses wherein are gar
nered the accumulated facts and philosophies of
the ages. Unlike other storehouses the more
these are drawn upon the more valuable they be
come. and though all of the wisdom be taken out
and utilized, it remains for any others who care
to partake of it.
The Preacher has said that “of the making
of many books there is no end, and much read
ing is a weariness of the flesh.” There are many
tiresome and useless books, it is true; there are
many books whose influence is positively evil
and they had better never been written. But
for the discriminating reader books become the
Magic Carpet upon which he may visit the far
places of the earth and participate in all the
great adventures that have thrilled men’s souls
since Adam first ventured forth to see what lay
beyond the angel’s flaming sword at the Garden
gate.
Do the humdrum duties of every day pall
upon you? Does your spirit swell against the
narrow confines of your home or your office?
Tncn upon the Magic Carpet of books we will
seek adventure.

Friendship’s balmy words may
feign.
Love’s are even more false than
they;
Oh! 'tis. only music’s strain
Can sweetly soothe and not be
tray.
—Moore.,
A small boy had been sent to a
home for feeble-minded children
but upon examination it was
found that he was of fair mental
ity and had never had a chance to
learn. He was sent to an orphan
age where another child in telling
of the incident said: “Ilsaac was
sent to the feeble-minded school
and they examined him for an
idiot. But he couldn’t pass and so I
they sent him here.” J
With old Ulysses we’ll drink delight of bat- !
tie with our peers far on the ringing plains of I
windy Troy, and sail with his intrepid band be- j
yond the sunset and the paths of all the western
stars; we’ll hear the siren song of Circe’s maids j
and mayhap fall victim to their wiles; we’ll touch J
the Happy Isles and see the great Achilles, and
bolstered by the proven courage of our fellows
we’ll strive, and seek, and find, but never yield.
We’ll disport ourselves with the gods and god
desses on high Olympus and with Dante well
explore the bottomless infernal caverns. With
Marco Polo we’ll find wondrous things to tell of
unknown foks and strange unknown customs.
With the votaries of Isis and Osiris we’ll worship
?he sun god of Egypt, and we’ll dance with the
Druids in Old England. With Livingstone we’ll
blaze the highway of civilization through the
trackless jungles of the dark continent and make
history with Stanley when he goes to seek and
find the lost explorer. With Peary and Amund
sen we’ll stand on top of the world and turn to
right and left and back again and face always
ony south. We’ll ride beside the Lone Eagle as
he breasts the storms above the North Atlantic
in the flight that assures for the name of Lind
bergh immortality of fame. We’ll stand on the
deck of a little wooden ship beside the great ad
miral, with eyes straining across the shoreless
western seas; v/e’ll hear his mate plead with him
to return to home and loved ones, and the an
swer of Columbus that has become the watch
word of high.endeavor:
“Brave Admiral, say but one good word ,
What shall we do when hope is gone?
i he words leapt like a leaping sword,
“Sail on! Sail on! Sail on! and on!”
The best way to train the young
is to train yourself at the same
time; not to admonish them, but
, to be seen always doing that of
which you would admonish them.
