covers of the books-for they were
arranged with their covers turned
outward so as to meet the need of
"Thumble Rajah" to whom the COW
er, not the title, spells the name of
book During the week following
the erection of the bookshelf per-
haps as many as eight children
from other homes came into the
playroom. Immediately the shelf Of
books held their attention. They
drew about it and much conversa-
ton as to the different books and
their respective merits ensued. Ruth
read eagerly to an absorbed group
of Younger children from a book,
heretofore too difficult for her six
year old knowledge, impelled by the
desire to have them share the fasci-
mating details of the story. Before
the week was over children came
daily to borrow from the bookshelf
until a childish method of keeping
account of the books loaned had to
be devised. Then the significant
thing occurred Two children came
with books to lend to the shelf and
gradually It grew until there was a
constant exchange of hooks with
system of regulations made by the
children themselves.
Here was a veritable children's IL
trary; its value as compared to the
stacks devoted to children in our
village institution. lying in rhe prin-
c.ple of sharing behind it. Here the |
children not only took books from |
the shelf but brought them 10 il as
well. The playroom became in a
sense a community center Home
was the connecting link and sharing
was sociaized to include a larger
group than the immediate family
and became in fact a joy rather
than virtue in the sight Of the
children.

SHARING A PLAYR00M
(By Margaret Steel Hardy

"Thumbie Rajah" stood with his
legs far apart and pronounced three
year old judgment. 81 like JIM" he
declared, "because he always
'vides." That after all is the real
basis for childish estimation of
character as well as for mature
standards. The child or grown-up
who divides fairly is the likeable,
desirable member of society.
How then are we going to make
sure of that fundamental quality in
our children? We are all familiar
with the usual possibilities for gen.
crosby found in the life Of small
child-the division Of some treat Of
sweetmeats, the sharing Of play
things with brothers and sisters.
These are good but we need a. basis
for sharing, larger than that offer
