The ci! suffer more from a surfeit of reading matter than the country districts. One reason coun- try folks are so invariably better in- formed than city people on national and international affairs is that they don’t get a new newspaper every time they turn a corner. * «6 A good rule for summer reading is not to read anything you hi read six or eight tim don’t read it with any in mind, sake, vcial purposes: Just read for reading’s . . * Some of the best and most sincere reading is probably done in peniten- tiaries.
