PUBLIC LIBRARY
Used to Good Purpose by Teach
eTs and Pupils.

That the public library is recognized
as a means of education is shown by
the visits of teachers with their pupils.
Miss Weidenfeller brought thirty sew
enth grade pupils, who spent an hour
in the library reading books selected by
their teacher. The books thus selected
have been reserved by the librarian for
their use for further reading. Miss
Stephens with forty first and second
grade pupils visited the library, where
the children listened to 1.-The Pied Piper
of Hamelin," and with the help of
their teacher selected books from the
collection for little folks. On Friday
of last week Miss Pierce, teacher of the
special school, brought her pupils to see
the library. Some of these children,
totally unable to hear, are learning to
speak distinctly. They all enjoyed
their visit to the library.
A story hour has also been introduced.
So far the stories have been told to the
third and fourth grades. Later it is
expected to provide for children of
other grades. The children have assem-
bled in the room set apart by the city
as a rest room and have greatly enjoyed
the hour.

MEETING OF The CIVIC CLUB

The Women's Civic club held it's
second meeting at the High School,
Saturday Feb. 81. The interest in this
movement was manifested by a large
attendance and in the increase in mem
bership which numbers 1870.
The High School Glee club favored
the audience with selection which
was highly appreciated. After the
adoption of the constitution and by
laws, general suggestions were made
whereby the ladies might interest
themselves in the improvement of the
city's parks and water works, in the
furnishing of the rest room in the
municipal building, also in the ques-
ton of a kindergarten which would
enable more children to enjoy the
advantages which are so ably provided
for.
The next meeting is to be held in the
assembly room of the High School on
Saturday, March 13, at three o'clock.
