81 Reasons for
Aiding LibrGrys
Book Fund Drive

OF the books on the required high
school reading lists the library found
itself in the fall Of 1920 totally without
copies of forty-four titles. OF many
Of the other most popular titles, the
central library had only one copy, q
number almost as exasperating as no
copy at all. 1t has been impossible, as
yet, to remedy these deficiencies because
Of lack Of book funds
Work with high school students is ex-
ceedingly handicapped by lack Of suf-
fcient number Of books on newspaper
work and various other subjects, directly
connected with the choice Of a vocation.
Elementary books for the young engineer
or mechanic are sadly lacking. The boys
at the technical high schools have good
courses in shopwork, IN automobile man
ufactnre and operation, in cabinet max
ing. etc. When they come to the library
for reliable, up-to date books on sub
jects In which they have become inter
ested they are generally disappointed
1t seems almost a waste of effort to
inspire a student with q definite ambition
along a certain line Of work, and to have
this ambition nipped in the bud by lack
Of ''follow-up" reading matter.
To mention another crying need In
lection of Shakespeare's plays is SC bad
~ shot to pieces by continued wear and
tear that often a student is disappointed
three or four days In succession In ind
ing all copies Of a particular play of
the shelves. To DO good work with three
high schools the central library alone
should be equipped with at least twelve
or fifteen copies Of each play.
Summary Of Special Needs-Adequate

tional and inspirational literature Of re-
cent date to round out the collection at

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

BY David Cory.
You remember in the last story that
Puss. the Prince and the Princess were
safe inside the Magic Bubble. But. Oh
dear mel There was the Faithful Giant
to be rescued Aud he was still a pine
tree and had to be changed back into his
natural form.
I'VE can't get a pine tree into the
Bubble" said Puss.
AYE, there's the rub 20 answered the
Gnome, Internationally speaking the
words OF the great Shakespeare. how
shall we ever get him into the BubbleT'
Let me change him into his natural
form first" said the Fairy Queen, then
he can walk across the courtyard to the
drawbridge, where he can easily step of
into the Bubble, which can he lowered to
the right height above the waters Of the
mOat.'
Good" said the Gnome. DO your
part aud ! will attend to the Bubble"
Just then the pine tree changed into
the form OF the Friendly Giant who I'm
mcdiately strobe across the courtyard.
Quickly lowering the drawbridge he has
tened over 1t. The creaking o; the
chains. however, woke up the Wicked
King. who looked out of his window to
see what was the matter. In another mo-
ment he rushed through the gates at the
head of his men.
"Quickr shouted the Gnome to the
Giant Get in" But alas! the doorway
was too small In vain the Giant wrig-
gIed and squirmed; in vain Puss and the
young Prince pulled upon his great arms,
mis- great shoulders could not be forced
through the doorway. At last, with
tremendous shove he managed to get
halfway In, but no farther, for at this
point his head was against the opposite
side Of the Bubble.
On came the Wicked King and his at
| tendants, who at once fitted arrows to
their strong bows to shoot the poor
Giant.
BLOW the Bubble largerw shouted
Puss a sudden idea coming into his head,
put the pipe in the Giants mouth and
tell him to blow like thunder" No
sooner were the words out of his mouth
than the Gnome placed the pipestem be-
tween the Giants lips and commanded
him to blow for his life!
In an instant the Bubbles began to
grow larger and larger, and before the
arrow left a bow the doorway widened
enough to let the Giant crawl INSIDE.
Slamming the door shut the Gnome cried
out exultingly, I'VE are safe!"
Away sailed the Magic Soap Bubble,
with the Fairy Queen and her little
robin perched safely on the top, and her
three ladies in waiting standing close by
on their own little feathered steeds.
Back to the beautiful Waterfall Lake,
where the Fairy Queen bid Puss good-by
back to the friendly Gnomes cave in the
woods. where he said farewell to Puss,
back to Big Mans Land where the Giant
lived with his kind old mother, back to
the castle where the beautiful Princess
and her brother lived SO happily before
the wicked King had kidnapped them. and
back at last to the castle of Lord Car
abas, where it left Puss I'm the easy
chair by the window from which he had
started out to visit Gnomeland with the
King of the Gnomes.-Copyright I 1g21.
