children OF this age cannot and
should not work properly inside
little space or with little tools. Blunt
scissors and colored paper cut-outs
are an open source OF infinite hours
OF happy occupation. So are ham,
mer and nail sets, simple wooden
puzzles, peg board and games such
as simple Lottoes or matching
ideas. For the out of doors get tri.
cycles, bicycles, wheelbarrows, SAND
garden and water toys. Nor must
good drums, triangles and tambou.
rines be forgotten from the musical
angle. OF course too, there are al
ways books. which should play
large and important part in every
child's life from about the first year
on. Libraries and organizations IN
terested in the growth of children
will gladly give expert and valuable
assistance in the selection OF books
for children at different age levels
and different temperaments.
above ALL" Mrs. Bartlett said,
at is important for the purchasers
of Christmas toys and of toys at any
other time of the year, to have a
realization that toys need not merely
be gadgets with which to fill up time
for children. Rather should they
be tools by which children learn,
and as such they merit our best
thought and careful selection. But
u,hatever their supposeds educational
slant, we must always bear in mind
that toy which aren't any fun
really aren't good. A toy Is sup
posed to give both joy and salts
| faction in addition to whatever
other claim it may have. Toys a
child can only watch and not do
something with himself aren't any
good either. no matter how amusing
a novelty they may SEEM"

Once again the CRIME mantIed
institute OF marble and books and
pleasant workers at 81 Summit Ave
nue. is asking for d Slight increase
in the budget apportionment. This
touch is already tabled before the
Council. and the hOnOrifiC esti-
mables comprising that august
body are no doubt at this very in
slant giving the matter a just, if
not pitiless, going over.
The Councils tough job is that
of defending the public kitty from
the corruption of squander. A
thankless task One which doesn't
steam up the enthusiasm, but just
let there be a shekle short and the
enemy hear about it and there is
the devil to pay. And the devils
levy at this season of political adj
vancement isn't an improbable
cloud hanging on few years hence
horizon. 1t is a weighty comulus
resting close. on the stuffed bosom
actually. of elected city office hold
ers. Even the most obtuse of the
bows have observed that they'll soon
have to go out and win again what
they were half believing was theirs
for good.
We at all times shy from the
use of Grass innuendO. But believe
it possible that this solicit Of a
minute extra divvy will experience
the double fry of exchequer guard
ianship and the much more per-
sOnal one of how answers yes or
no will effect the KS of the tickle
and OmnipOtent populance on the
approaching day of doubt and bal
lots. RumOr has the increase head
ed for defeat. Should this occur
political filters have had to brunt
the blame. No right minded per
son could possibly accuse other
right minded persons of believing
a few hundred dollars spent yearly
on books as constituting dreaded
squander.
Two years ago Council, after dis
cOursing with Postal officials, dis
covered that the address next the
Herald-Mail building was the Pub
lie Library. In the excitement they
voted it more money, and for the
first time since its inception it was
lifted from the slough of starvation
to the slightly higher level of sub
sistence. For a flash we were fear
full of what might happen to its in
nards. From lifetime lived on Der
ries and eatableS roots, the sudden
hand out of Watery soup is a
pretty drastic gastronOmic change.
However, the Library has thrieved
exceedingly and in its rash health
today feels it could do with some
thing heavier, say sandwich. And
in a decade it could probably sit
at the table. just as if it had al
ways been known to be member
j of the civic family.
At the same time a change in
/ librarians brought into being a new
state of health too. We habituees
remember unhappily the sad days
when dust and stagnation of the
Librarys financial means of pros
pering was equaled mote by mote
