Sitting in a New York club
a few nights later, Van Norton

Of his neighborS. You did a

PUBLIC LIBRARY
Education Has It's Week.


This week it is the schoolman who
takes the stage and explains to more
or less bewildered public the activities
of his field. During the past decade
he has worked hard here in the United
States and has accomplished some
tangible results which are wholly de-
serving the attention of the country
during American Education week,
which starts tomorrow and continues
through next Sunday. He has i'm
proved his technique and widened his
circle of activities. His work, after
all, represents a considerable invest
ment of both time and money on the
part of the Nation. He feels that the
citizen should be willing to devote at
least a week to talking things over
with him, finding out the actual con-
dition of the schools and thinking
about means of Improvement and ad-
vancement.
In connection with American Edu-
cation week the Public Library calls
attention to the following books which
describe the aims. the methods and
the achievements of our schools:

stars or the moon. They attract US
with strange delight.
And when we are quite old and wise
we know and admit that we must rely
on something which shines beyond US,
bit out Of reach. We remember the
breathless moments Of childhood and
the blazing Christmas tree. We knew

precious.
We think of later years somewhat
