READING IN THE FARM HOME 



DISCUSSION PAPER 



One is known by the company he keeps. Books are company. 



We desire to know what is read in the farm home. Will you not co- 

 operate by telling us what you read, what you find to be best, and how 

 you solve the problem of reading in the home? We should be glad to 

 have you answer the following questions as best you can, and return them 

 to us. Future agricultural conditions will depend to a large extent on 

 what is read in the farm home and on the amount of reading done. 



I. Give the names of any books or stories that you have enjoyed read- 

 ing aloud or that you have enjoyed listening to when read aloud. Mention 

 the most enjoyable features of the best book you have read. 



2. Have you added any books on household economy to your library 

 this year? if so, give their titles.
