Getting an interested assent, the
host and hostess led the way to the
second floor. where a small hall bed
room had been transformed into a
miniature library. Along one wall
ran book shelves, containing all the
school books, children's books, illus
trated histories and dictionaries they
might need. In the center of the room
was the greenpainted iron table that

during the sunny summer days, there
was a reading lamp with a warm yell

every part of the table. Several
Windsor chairs had been provided for
the children and the table was strewn
with Juvenile and educational maya
zines. Among these a geographical
publication, an outdoor periodical, q
magazine OF invention and mechan-
les and q radio supplement were spe-
cially In evidence.
I'VE never have any trouble now
about school books. exercise books,
pencils and book straps littering UP

children would rather study in their
library sthan anywhere else. They
can spread out their work and study
in comfort.
The idea was suggested to me by
seeing the children cluster absorbedly
around one OF the reading tables in
our local library I saw how at ease
they were under the light of the big
lamp, with plenty of elbow room. SO
I decided that we would have a branch
library In our home. Sometimes the
other children OF the. neighborho ood
come in here and read or study with
our youngsters. Their little club
meets here, and though there isn't
much room, they circle around the
