DEAN JONES TO
HOLD CAMP AICN
FOR ARMY BOOKS
Distinguished Speaker Here
Tonight to Emphasize
Need For Fund.

Frederick S. Jones, dean of Yale
College, will address the workers who
will gather tonight at the house of
Gen. Henry A. Bishop on Washington
avenue, in their meeting to receive
instructions for the campaign for the
Soldiers Library Fund
Dean Jones is known throughout the
country as a most convincing, force
full speaker. His long experience as
dean Of Yale College, in which office
he has come into close contact with
the college boys as adviser on their
conduct of college life, their personal
affairs, their scholarship, attendance,
ETC., has given him knowledge and
insight into human nature, especially
as regards younger men, which is rare
and unusual. He is full of entertain
ing anecdotes, and yet he never misses
that quality of direct earnestness and
appeal which gives him such a. high
place as a speaker.
It is expected that Dean Jones will
tell his audience the story of the
young men who are enlisted in the
war: of their needs for better sur
roundings in their camp life; of the
pressing necessity for good literature
to entertain and instruct them in their
hours off duty; of the fine influence
which would be exerted II the cam
.pafgn for the library OF one million
books for the soldiers is successful
The gathering OF the workers at
General Bishops house this evening
will be made up of the organization
Of generals, team captains and ten
workers in each of the ten teams,
who will commence their canvass to-
morrow. Bridgeport is determined to
do it's full duty toward raising it's
quota for this campaign, and at to-
nights meeting final instructions rel
alive to the canvass will be given to
the workers.
The campaign will begin tomorrow
morning and continue through Sun
day. Because ofsthe small amount to
be raised special effort will be made
to get cash subscriptions rather than
pledges. The contributor may suit
himself as to whether he will pay cash
or not but the plan is to get as many
paid subscriptions as is possible.
Librarian Latham, who is director
Of the campaign, said today, ''It is not
necessary to wait for a solicitor to
come around and ask. for money for
this fund. Checks, may be mailed
direct to william T. Haviland, treas
IA "a Va LILO 1h14ds VI iSAS OF LAO AZ
brary.''
This is not a campaign for hum
dreds of thousands or millions. where
a dime would be lost in the shuttle.
We are asking for only a few thous-
and and every little contribution helps
swell the total.
EVERY little bit, added to what
we've got, makes little bit more!"
