given by the Librarian of the State
library. Henry Dunnack. He paid
very high tribute to the culture of
carly Hallowell which was a leader
In the state in the pursuit of intel
IectuaI attachments. He referred es-

the people Of the town who early ac-
auired a taste for good reading.
In q most interesting and forceful
manner Mr.. Dunnack showed how
reading enables one to overcome the
limitations of mentality, location,

many books the reading of which
would broaden q persons experience
and give him knowledge Of other
lands and other people, make him
familiar with the achievements of
science and inspire him with noble
ideals of character. He urged his
hearers to read. with a purpose and
seek the best books on the subject
chosen. Lists OF books compiled by
the State Library were discussed and
people were urged to make more use
of the books which the State pro-
vides for all its citizens.
The meeting was well attended
and one of the most interesting and
profitable ever held. The Parent
Teacher Association is proving itself
an important factor in the life Of
the community.
