the school are invited to visit il and
see the work being done They arc
each asked to take with them
book. particularly a book which will
be OF value to the students as a ref
erence volume. Works Of standard
authors also will be highly accept
able.
There will be regular sessions of
all classes in the morning, Q to 12|
o'clock; the afternoon classes will
be carried over until the evening,
nd will be held from Z to $50
O'Clock. After $50 there will be
special exhibitions and games in the
boys and girls gymnasiums, and a
special literary and musical pro-
gram in the auditorium, to which all
are invited.
Speaking OF Library Day" Pro-
fessor Coke, principal Of the High
School. said:
THE High School numbers (Feb-
ruary 1927 approximately two
thousand students. with a faculty Of
about eighty. In all of the courses
and classes. especially In English,
history and science. large amount
OF outside collateral. reading Is es-
sential to good work. For a High
School Of two thousand pupils a
library OF at least ten thousand
volumes OF. standard works, immed-
lately available. Is needed. Without
It the work OF the school is serious
ly, not to say hopelessly handicapped.
The result is that the work of the
class room, despite the industry and
good will Of both pupils and teach
ers cannot measure up TO tho stand
nrds expected Of modern and we'll
equipped schools.
1--WE have set as our goal a library
OF at least ten thousand volumes OF
standard works. We are asking our
friends 10 contribute either the
books. or the funds with which TO
buy the books.
'Many thousands of books, by the
best authors, repose on the shelves
of libraries. in private homes and
remain. for all practical purposes
almost unused whereas, II these
books were in the High School Ii
brary they would be in constant use
TO the very great benefit Of the stu
dents and. eventually to the bene-
ht Of the whole community.
I'VE are asking our friends to do
nate those books to the High School
Library. and we are asking also that
SUFFICIENT funds be contributed so
/ that much needed sets OF reference
works: encyclopedias. and works of
general historical, literary, and sci
entinc value can-be purchased"
