BOOKS FOR IMAGINATION.

"Wide, vivacious, desultory read. ing of all kinds of books is the finest way of quickening the imagination," said Mr. H. A. L. Fisher, Minister..of Education, at University College, Loudon,

"To keep books behind glass or on il-lighted shelves is inhumanity. I have seen some school libraries that contained a ton of tedium to every ounce of entertainment.

"The principal experts in the art of taking holidays" he also said, are painters, naturalists, travellers, and historians the worst person to consult is a golfer."
