THE PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER : HONOLULU, JANUARY 15, 1S96.

WEDNESDAY,
JANUARY 15, 1890.
The war scare is over. Accord
ing to advices by the Coptic the
tenor of most of the papers in
the United States has become ex
tremely peaceful, and that war is
deprecated.
The recent panic in New York
is reported to have been a very
serious one. The losses are esti
mated at one thousand million
dollars. The panic also affected
the Continental Bourses and the
London Stock Exchange.
receive cordial support. They are
really doing a great work.
We think that the advantages o
the Honolulu library should be ex
tended to some of the upper classes
of the Royal, Kaulawela, Pohukaina
and other schools, free of charge,
the nomination of the pupils to be
with the Principal. This system
has worked well with the pupils of
the High School and Fort Street
School. Encourage the children to
read wisely and well.

The Turkish rebellion seems to
be growing. Now we hear that the
Druses are up in arms. December
28th a big battle was fought be
tween them and the Turkish troops,
and 12,000 men were killed. Such
a story, however, requires confir
mation. The Druses are a turbu
lent, worthless set of vagabonds.
The Turkish Empire seems to be
in a very bad way. Poor Turk, he
has been a. sick man ever since
1854, and it seems as if dissolution
cannot be far off now.
INFLUENCE OF BOOKS.
"Rooks, children's books, who
cares "for them? We do, and a great
number of readers do. The subject
of healthy literature for children
and young people is one which
ma it trell fixereise the minds of
AUMJ ?
all interested in the "Coming Race."
In this direction the committee of
the Honolulu Library have shown
commendable care. We have be
fore us a list of sixty authors and
over 400 books suitable for the
young, which ,are accessible to this
class of readers. The names in
clude Aldrich, Hans Anderson,
Boyesen, Mrs. Burnett, Church,
Doyle, Eggleston, Grimm, Henty,
Ingelow, Captain King, Kingsley,
Kingston, Kipling, Macdonald,
Mark Twain, Mayne Reid, Stock
ton, Stephenson, Tolstoi, Tow
bridge, Jules Verne, all of whom
have written especially for young
people. Besides these there are
the standard authors like Scott,
Dickens and Marryat, though the
latter is perhaps a little coarse for
the modern taste. But all these
writers give bright stirring tales,
not goody-goody mawkish stuff of
the Mrs. Barbauld and Dr
Aiken type. Honor, chivalry,
bravery, gentleness, truth, kind
ness, are all taught by them.
They put a healthy ideal before
our youth and what would life be
without ideals. The characters of
fiction are in many cases one's life
long friends, whose company is
pleasing to us, whose example is
a guide to us. How many boys
of a past generation have been in
fluenced by. the gentleness, good
ness, and manliness of Masterman
Ready. How many girls have
based their ideals -pon the char
acters in Miss Alcott's "Our-Girls.''
From these we are lead to the
larger and broader paths of litera
ture, and to maturer friends.
How necessary a good healthy
style of reading must be is shown
by the results of a course of vici
ous reading. Last month the
State of New York was startled by
a series of juvenile primes.. In one
case it was a murder by a boy of
fourteen. In another it was two!
youths engaged, in burglary, and
yet again it was four boys who de
liberately wrecked a train near
Rome. It has been shown that in
all these cases the boys had all
been reading the vilest literature,
"'eulogistic accounts of the exploits
of train robbers, thieves and mur
derers of the Jesse James type."
Thw lived in a false world of
crime. Youth will live in a false
world, an ideal world. We must
be careful that that ideal should be
a healthy one. .This the Honolulu
library and the Y. M. C. A. library
are doing and their efforts should
