The week of November 1917 will
be known as Library Week. Miss
Crowell of the Perth Amboy Library
Is preparing a list of the books to be
used in guiding the reading of gram
mar school pupils. The object l
this educational week Is to acqualnt
the boys and girls with the best IN
literature and to instill in them a
love for good books. These lists Will
be mimeographed and hung on the
bulletin boards in each room ana
as the pupil becomes acquainted
with the book he will check 1t OIL
his list. Mr.. Steel feels confident
that with this aid from the library
staff, the pupils will be encouraged
to read the right sort of books.
For the benert of the Safety Pa
troll a series of moving picture per-
formances is being given on Novem-
Der is, 16 and II, (the latter date IN
the morning), by the Ditmas man
at the Ditmas theatre. The
bows have been doing splendid work
in all kinds of foul weather but 1t is
too much to expect them to con-
tinue to be on duty in the winter
weather that is coming
nroper protection. The money Sc
cured from theses performances will
therefore be used for the purchase
of storm coats for the officers. me
proper school spirit should be aWak-
ened for the sale of tickets, the sup
port of each and every pupil Is
necessary.
There will be no extra charge FOR
the performance and the public at
large is urgently requested to lend
its support to make the plan sue
cessful. Now is the time to snow
we appreciate the works OF the
Safety Patrol.
