June 29, 1918 issue

The school vacation has begun. After the first few days of untrammeled delight, the question arises as to how the long months are to be spent to the child's greatest advantage. It is hard to realize just what life means to the child growing up in war time. As the school year leaves the active child little time for home reading, his best chance of orienting himself is in vacation. The New York Public Library has prepared careful lists of reading on Patriotism and Heroism, giving chapter and verse, which are very helpful to parents and to children who have had the chance to acquire the public library habit.
