The Inevitable Choice

IF YOU are looking for the safest form OF
i investment in which to place your funds,
you do not have to choose because First
Mortgages have those characteristics which
place them in class by themselves.
But all first mortgages are not equally
safe. Your choice must be in selecting the
house through which to purchase them. And
when you make your choice, our record of
fifty-four years without loss to an investor
should be significant, and without the need

MARK TWAIN AS
. best AUTHOR
Popular Vote Also Goes
to "Tom Sawyer" as
Best Book.
TOTAL OF 1917 VOTES
Result Shows That Literary
Tastes Are Fairly
Good. @

Mark Twain is the most popular
author and tom Sawyer" is the most
popular book among school children
of San Antonio, according TO the re-
suits of the ten-day voting contest
that has been conducted in the public
schools by Mrs. Leah johnson, child
ren's librarian for the Carnegie pub
lie library. Although the contest
closed last Tuesday, the final results
were not tabulated until Saturday. A
total Of 1917 votes were cast.
The contest definitely settled the
question that had arisen in the minds
Of the library staff as to whether the
taste of the younger generation is
for literature that is commonly de-
scribed as being trashy" This doubt
was inspired BY the fact that there
were many calls for books OF the
"trashy" class not kept on the shelves
Of the children's department.
A hundred or more books received
a few scattering but the eleven books
receiving the highest number Of books
and the votes cast for each are as
follows:
Tom Sawyer" -; Robinson
Crusce," As; the ''Tarzan" books, 45;
the tom Swift" books, IS; Polly
anna" %; Treasure Island" IS:
little Women" %; Call Of the
Wild "a; "Pinnochio," %; Little
Colonel Stories" %; Juan and
Juanita," 81.
Literary Taste Fairly Good.
II would like to emphasize the fact"
Mrs johnson said, that the books re-
ceiving the third and fourth highest
number of votes are not kept on the
shelves Of the children's library. For
a time we were afraid that the
"Tarzan" and tom Swift books
would lead in popularity. The list, as
whole, however, would indicate that
the young boy and girl Of today has
fairly satisfactory taste for litera-
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-02-25

ture. This list disputes the belief that
the established authors have been for
gotten"
Conditions surrounding the voting
were such that the children were en-
couraged to express their own pref
erences and not be governed by their
parents or teachers, Mrs. johnson
said. The children were requested TO
vote for the book that they liked
best, whether or not il was on the
shelves of the Carnegie library. A
secret ballot was conducted, the child
rem merely writing their preference
and their age on a slip OF paper.
The most popular authors for child
rem under ten years of age were An
drew Lang, Lorenzini, Lucy Fitch
Perkins, l.. Frank Baum, William and
Jacob Grimm, and Thornton w. Bur-
CESS. The most popular author for
children over ten years o. age, were
Mark Twain, Louisa NJ. Alcott, Dan
iel Defoe, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson, and Mrs.
Frances H. Townsend.
Fiction Most Popular.
An analysis OF the flgufeS complled
by the children's librarian, reveals that
fiction is the most popular class OF
among the school children.
Fairy tales and animal stories are
second and third in order Of pop
ularity.
An effort will be made by the child
ren's librarian to have the report of
the voting contest published in the
Library Journal, and to in
duce other libraries to conduct similar
contests in order that comparisons
might be made. Since the popularity
Of certain books might be due to local
it is the opinion of the
children's librarian, that if similar
contests were conducted throughout
the country, that the average results
would be a true index of the literary
taste Of the younger generation.
