A suggested list Of subjects the
group locally would like discussion
on was presented to Mr.. Weber at
the close Of the meeting. The list Is
the work of local committee ap-
pointed following the first meeting
a month ago. The suggestions are

purchase books, pencils and clothes.
To develop their good taste in
clothes DR.. Morse herself has sell

may choose dress materials.
DIR. Morse lifelong studies OF
her charges have strengthened her
belief that the strongest force in
dealing with human beings is per-
sonality, and consequently she
urges close association between the
staff and the children. "The child
as a person." she summed up, "is
greater than any science which
tries to measure her limitations or
ultimate accomplishments. Her at
tainments often outstrip the pre-
dictions which psychological tests
and measurements Indicate"
Born at South Charterville, Me-,
in 1856 DR.. Morse began her social
work as a member of the board of
visitors at the first State home for
girls, which her father, Senator
Edwin French. had helped to found.
After graduating from the Kent's

COLORFUL BOOKS
ARE IMPORTANT
Gay Displays Greet Visitors At
Bryant Library During Book
Week

Colorful illustrated books are one
of the important aspects in the gay
displays that greeted national Book
Week that the Bryant Library OF
this city is observing until Novem-
Der Goth. This week Miss Bernice
Finnegan, librarian, pointed out
that no subject of prominence is
today overlooked in these fascinat-
ing children's books with the
bright illustrations.
A rejuvenation of the setup in
the children's room and an influx
of color has changed the atmos-
phere of the juvenile room as Book
Week descended upon the library.
Book shelves have been moved
from the center of the room and
are flat against the wall. On top
are colored murals depicting fam
Gus characters well-known through
out juvenile literature. A most i'm
portant step was taken by the
board when on recommendation
they ordered the lighting fixtures
to be lowered and more powerful
lamps exchanged for the old ones.
In the juvenile room numerous
displays, the work of students from
the first to the sixth grades. car
ry out the book idea and the stim-
illus to reading during this dedica-
tory week. Over in one corner a
covered wagon display with pion-
GERS crossing the plains points to
books like New World Builders y
and other literature about the his
tory of the nation. Then there are
posters inspired by famous book
characters. A Mexican village mod.
eled completely from clay tells Of
the interesting background of the
Mexican studies for children. There
are displays on animals carried out
in the circus angle, and an exhibit
of animals everyone knows and
sees on the farm. There is an in,
formative series in which history
art, aviation and a host of other
subjects are dealt with in interest
ing illustrated books.

covered with a gala array of book
jackets. Within are an Indian ex-
hibit prompted by d study of Indian
