Read to the child yourself. Find

Don’t buy books for children on the

_knowthe best books. Have a private 
bookshelf for the children. It will do 
more to create an interest in books 
than will books borrowed for a week 
_ or two from the public library. 
“Books like ‘Robinson Crusoe’ for 
boys and “Little Women” for girls 
are as popular today as forty years 
. There are other books of this 
kind that are desirable. ‘On the Trail 
of Washington’ is a book which will 
_ create an interest in history. It is 
better to give girls good standard 
adult fiction than the so-called ‘girls’ 
kooks.’ The latter may lead to poor 
taste in adult fiction. It is better to 
give books in advance of the child’s 
_ age as they are of value for years.”

James Ferrara, the 9-year old son 
of James Ferrara, Bridge st., who 
was struck by an automobile driven 
by Kenneth Ferguson, cashier of the 
Gloucester National Bank, near his 
home Thursday afternoon of last 
week, is much improved. Examina- 
tion at the Beverly hospital disclosed 
a slight fracture of the left arm. 
A petition has been presented to 
the selectmen asking for the widening 
and relocation of Jersey lane, West 
Manchester, at its junction with 
Bridge st., and a hearing will be 
given at the office of the board Tues- 
de Ly evening, Nov. 28, at 7.30 o’clock. 
This is in line with improvements in- 
cident to the purchase of the Daron 
Morse property and the consequent 
removal of the house, blocking the 
entrance to Jersey lane. It is the 
intention to widen the entrance and 
otherwise beautify the spot. 
Miss Dorothy Blaisdell was home 
from Wheaton College over the 
week-end. 
The Daron Morse house at the 
junction of Bridge st. and Jersey lane 
is being torn down.
