1t is gratifying to see the good influence
many teachers are exerting over their pupils
to induce them to use the library for study
and recreation There is growing use of
the reference books and many children and
Older students are becoming so familiar with
the books in the reading room that there
must be a gain in the intelligence and char
acter OF their reading.
We want to foster love of good reading
in the children 80 that the library NAV be-
come in their after years source of inspira-
Tion and influence for whatever is highest in
life and character.
