Eleanor Durrett Starts Plan
10 Guide Reading Of Chill.
drsn in School.

Promotion and guidance Of
good reading habits are the prin-
cipies on which the sixth grade
teacher on the Barnes School,
Miss Eleanor Dnrrett, Is basing
her efforts In. establishing q book
club. The idea OF the club is TO
guide lie reading Of children
while they arc young enough 10
influence their states. II Is also
possible that Il the habit OF read
ing Is formed In youth, those who
would otherwise scorn the prac-
tice will learn to become inter.
ested. The club will not only
substitute for a school library, In
aAmuch as reading material will
be available, but II will prove
more valuable than the latter as
the reading selected by the chill.
dren will be guided by the
teacher.
Alack % funds TO purchase the
good books desired necessitates
the leaders OF the work 10 solicit
the loan Of books. The Barnes
School students. who ara forum
ate enough to possess worthwhile
reading material, are lending
books TO Nbe promoters OF the
club. Those wishing to assist in
the work By lending books TO the
ei,tb may receive further inform
alton by calling the Barnes
School. The students will care
for all transportation and will
show their appreciation by en-.
deaxoring to establish success
fui organization.
