Show And here and there, in a magazine, maga-zine, is a story or some article or contribution of Talue because of its research in and knowledge of the arts and seiences, while the rest of the periodical is of comparatively com-paratively little use. A scrap book of such matters would be found exceedingly interesting, if for nothing else. The writer has seen and perused scrap books which were gems in their way. The collators displayed care, taste and judgment in the selection of the articles for preservation, preser-vation, and it was really a treat to look them over, and here and there peruse the entire article. Of course, it depends altogether on the collator whether he or she has the requisite tact and intelligence intelli-gence for classifying and arrang- ing articles in such a medium It may well be called an education in itself, and the owners of such I books are generally people of far more than ordinary intelligence. Events of importance, matters , of great moment, interesting local incidents, selections of genuine 'poetry, and many other things, incident to such a . collection or , compilation, to .make up a work which at times proves td be of value not only for reference, but as a reminder of scenes, incidents, and occasions, which but faintly I linger in memory. Let the bid scrap book once more have its place in every family. Teach the children its advantages and uses, and have them assist in its preparation. The result will be a happy, well-informed, well-informed, intelligent, household, one which your friends will delight to visit often, and with you once in a while indulge in a reminiscental evening, which will be made all the more enjoyable when the scrap book is brought forth and its contents con-tents examined.- Harrisburg Independent |
