is the effort of the State Lii
brary to supplement the smaller
public libraries, and also to supply
needed books to high schools, clubs
and organizations for use in their
courses of study. The State Lii
brary serves direct about 100000 of
the people of Maine, and there is alb
solutely no red tape procedure to
handicap the securing of books by
individuals anywhere.
Mr.. Dunnack told his audience that
a post card request will secure any
book desired. and that the State Lii
brary never loses books which are
sent out to citizens. IF you are go
ing to steal anything. we had rather
that you steal books was one of
the significant declarations which
the head of the states great library
system made last evening. Contin-
uing, he said: IF we can get you to
read good books. Maine is saved"
The speaker called attention to the
many valuable books of reference
which are on the shelves of the
State Library for the use of the cit
liens. Books on the professions and
on business, on the arts and the sci
ences. on crafts and vocations, and
in fact on almost any conceivable
subject, and all by the greatest au-
thorities in their particular line.
Speaking of works on home econom-
les and household arts, he said that
many housewives do not know how
to properly cook food or what kind Of
food to cook. IF we are to build a
great strong America, we have got
to begin in the Kitchens" was his
summing up of the desirability of
housewives studying their jobs.
Speaking of the campaign Of edu-
cation on know Maine Products"
which has recently been launched,
Librarian Dunnack called attention
to the fact that during the last two
or three years the award for the
greatest volume of collected poems
went to Z. A. Robinson formerly of
Gardiner, Maine; the Pulitzer Prize
for the greatest play to Owen Dav-
is. another native of this state: the
prize for the best juveniel book of
1928 was given to c. 3. HAYES,
native of this state. who wrote the
Dark Frigate;" and the Pulitzer
Prize for the best poems by an Am
erican author in 1922 went to Edna
ST. Vincent Millay, who also claims
Maine as her own state.
The state librarian named the five
greatest authors of all time and their
five greatest books as follows: The
"Odessey," by the blind Greek poet,
Homer; Dante's Divine Comedy"
Don Quixote" by the Spaniard. Ger
vantes; Bunyon and his immortal
"Pilgrim's Progress" and the Book

The session of yesterday noon was

High School Essay
On Good English

Another of the essays written by
the students of the Waterville Sem
Tor high school in the observance of
Good English month was made pub
lie Wednesday. The essay was writ
ten by Miss Cecile Delaware and is
one of the best of the many sub
mitted. 1t is as follows:
There is comfort in the memory
of Lincoln and of those whose death
on the field of Gettysburg he COM
memorated. Could we not find COM
fort also, knowing that we, by using
good English. have made the stand
ard of our school static? We are on
a field, and we. like the men, on the
field of Gettysburg who answered to
the call of patriotism, which is one
of the most sublime images of ideal
ism. should give our all to our school
as readily as they gave up their lives
that the country might live.
Good English is one of the best
agents a school may have, as well
as a country. 1t is by our language
that the school is judged. and thus
it is left to us to have good English
become the foundation of our school.
That we have energy, and to spare
no one denies. The outlook is hope
full. and it is not true that
I'VE like sentinels are obliged to
stand
In starless nights and wait the APP
pointed hour"
We are fixed in the belief that
everything will work out all right in
the long run. But nothing will work
out all right unless we make 1t so
work. Friendliness. interest, know
ledGe,-these are the three strands
out of which the bonds of a more
perfect understanding must be made,
and in all of these three stated words
good English is needed.
The English language is not made;
we ourselves are making it now. 1t
is alive and growing. and therefore
it is not yet fixed and determined:
but it is ever flexible, yielding and
resourceful. waiting for us to model
it to the nearest of perfection. SO
let US all do our very best, and
everybodys best shall make the
standard of our school firm and to
which therefore will be a pleasure
for us to look back with satisfaction
and the feeling of a duty done, which
we owed our school.
Not as we take, but as we give;
Not as we pray, but as we live
These are the things that make
for peace,
Both now and after Time shall
cease"
