MORRIS LIBRARY CAN
SUPPLY GOOD READING
Has All But Four of Books Suggested
For Reading Course by Prominent
Librarian

The Norris Library has all but four
of the thirty-six books suggested by
the librarian of a we'll known city for
course in home reading. Huckle-
berry Finn is the most popular in
the list and one of the most popu-
lar books in the library according to
Miss Agnes Torpey, Norris Librarian.
Their are six copies of it in the city
library, and four of them have to be
sent to the bindery every year. The
Call of the Wild" by Jack London
comes second, and kim" by Kip
ling, the story of the first boy scout
is also constantly in use. "The Rise
of Silas Lapham" by Howells is also
in great demand.
Books on psychology and mental
control and autobigraphies are called
for frequently by Morris people, Miss
Torpey said. Of the new books, the
most read are THE Autobiography of
Margot Asquith," main Street." by
Sinclair Lewis, "This Side of Para
disc" by Fitzgerald" "The Moon
Calf" and Miss Lulu Belts" by Gale
The course in reading suggested
cularly popular in Norris in Miss
Torpey's opinion. With the excep-
ton of the four books mentioned
there are comparatively few calls for
the remaining books. "Rudder
Grange" by Stockton is an example of
book which gained general pop
ularity through being used as a
school assignment. The students be-
gan to talk about it, and soon it was
in demand by the general public.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
is one of the books often assigned by
teachers.
