Is Your Family Reading "Worth Whille?"
So much of current reading is
merely entertaining at best that
the question naturally arises. Is
it worth while? Your sons aud
daughters are bound to read
something. They hunger for
stories which take them into the
other halt of the world the world
of adventure, or valor, of fortune
making. The problem is to give
them such reading without put
ting into their hands the litera
ture that is either silly or demor
alising. The editors of The
Youth's Companion believe that a
periodical can be made entertain
ing and yet "worth while," and
The companion is conducted on
that theory. And that is one rea
son why mora than half a million
American families read it. The
paper is safe, but not dull. Its
tales of adventure illustrate the
advantages of fortitude and self
reli ince. Its stories of character
lay stress on the truth that right
conduct is never a mistake.
Every new subscriber will find
it of special advantage to send at
once the $1 7u for the new 1910
