"How Public Libraries AID Schools
by Muriel Anderson, Grade 2, Smith
School
A library is a collection of books. A
public library is one that may be used
by all the people The earliest library
Of which there is any record dates
back to the year $500 &. C. From that
time down to the present all civilized
people have had libraries.
Andrew Carnegie thought so much
of them that he gave over $4,000, 900
for libraries in the United States and
Great Britain.
Public libraries may be Of great
help to schools. They give us infor-
nation. For example. our histories
may tell us that Columbus discovered
America. that ne was born in Genoa.
sailed from Spain, etc. They give us
the main facts.
We may go to the library, however.
and learn much more. We may find the
whole life of Columbus written out.
and many things which could not be
put into our school books. So our
knowledge becomes greater.
In reading one subject we some
times find another one so closely con-
nected that we read that one. too. ard
50 we get more knowledge. Public
libraries contain information about al
most everything in the world; our
school books contain but little.
The more we read. the better we UNI
derstand the English language. If
boys and girls read books from the
public libraries their knowledge of
reading, spelling and composition is
greatly increased, thereby aiding the
public schools.

"How to Help Overcome Illiteracy," BY
Richard Mansur, Grade VI, Lincoln
Enhnnl

A great problem has come up--that
is, how are we going to make in1mi-
grants loyal? When an immigrant
leaves home he usually does so to get
away from some trouble. and he comes
here expecting better country; but
if he is poor and people turn away
from him it hurts his feelings. If
people are friendly with him he feels
different about being nsturalized.
A way to urge a foreigner to be nat
uralized is to tell him the privileges
he would have If he was. A fine thing
to do would be to teach some ignorant
man how to write his name, for some
day he might have to sign his name
to a paper. Another would be to urge
them to go to night school. Foreign
,ers are not the only ones in the coun-
try that are ignorant for from the
last census there were 10000 Hitter
ates who could not even write their
names. but had TO use a cross. The
State is rapidly diminishing this num-
Der and everybody is urged to help.

Glow Can We Make Immigrants
Loyal?" by Elizabeth Franklin,
Grade 2. williams School

Immigrants come into our country
as strangers. They must get used to
new ideas and customs. The first i'm
preston is lasting. 1t Is our duty to
show them that We are interested in
them and are their friends. We should
always speak we'll of their country,
but show them that ours is better by
our acts rather than by our words. The
people make the country. If we can
make them love us they will love the
country and be loyal to It.

1.-THE Value of an American Educa.
ton" bv MurieI Holmes, Grade "a,
Smith School.
Is an American educa ton different
from any other? I say. YES" OF
course I am only one person, but let
us stop and think a minute. Paris
she has schools that equal and sur
pass ours in certain things. Italy
and places of its vicinity are the in
spiration of many an artist. But for
an education that starts us on the
path of all vocations Of life, Is not
the American foremost?
Why? Because in our standard
high schools we are taught all occu-
pationS. We do not learn them ALL
But for our benefit they are divided
be there is division OF study for us.
OF course we are not all capable OF
stepping out of high school into some
high position, but the American edu-
cation is continued and tpettered by a
higher and more advanced course in
college. We are taught in Ameri-
can schools the languages Of most
countries with the best of teachers,
We can truthfully say tpat we do not
need to go out of the country for any
further study.
If this is true. why is the Ameri-
can education not valuable?
After thinking this all over why
should any boy or girl think that
they can leave school and still get
along? They probably would exist.
yes-begin as q laboring person and
end as one!
If we can all stick to it until the
completion of high school we have
gained something of value which will
be of great use 20 US all our lives.
