In quality but usually insufficient in
quantity" we are told. This is where
the public can help by cooperating
with the American Library Associa-
ton drive for more books and more
books.
BY putting q three-cent stamp of
Z book for this area and directing it
to the George Washington Univer-
sity Library, or any branch of the
District Of Columbia Public Library,
its delivery for q service man to
read will be insured.
What kind Of books are desired?
All kinds, the kind you yourself like
best, the kind you think the young
man would select If you were Civ
ing him a present at camp. Best
sellers, Book-of -the-Month series,
books Of poetry and biographies are
always popular. Tremendous favor
ties are books from the slip in your
pocket" kind.
Soldier readers take good care of
library books and the loss in camp
libraries Is invariably far less than
1t Is in civilian libraries.

Ing but surprises, as far as pre-
conceived ideas on the subject are
concerned, we learned. There are
always as many calls for nom fiction
as for fiction. The enlisted man who
has very little leisure time on his
hands, soon graduates from trash to
more worthwhile reading There is
less emphasis on detective stories,
except IN the hospitals, than might
be supposed, and a very great deal
on reading wit purpose With this
group, the How to Do 1t" series,
books on photography, all sorts of
hobbies. carpentry and joinery and
the like are constantly in demand.
Reference Books Popular.
Dictionaries, encyclopedias and all
sorts Of books of reference are the
ones which are soonest to be liter
ally read to pieces. Whenever the
radio or a newspaper breaks a big
piece of news, there is a landslide
rush for books, maps, aliases, any
thing that will furnish additional
background.
1t simply isn't possible to keep the
Army camp libraries supplied with
enough books on technical subjects
referring to these fields, aviation,
tanks and modern warfare. In their
wake. mathematics has come into
its own because of its practical ap-
pliance to warfare techniques.
Many soldiers now scan math
books with fervor with which they
pursued the funny papers when
they were children. Troops in the
territory near the armored force

"eat up" technical reading matter

The selectee in Americas second
World War Army likes to read.
Perhaps the importance of books
as a source Of recreation is due. to
the fact that this is an Army in
which there are no illiterates. Every
selectee must have had the eQuiva-
lent of fourth-grade education to
be acceptable for service. The edu-
cational level Of American soldiers
in the first World War was about
the seventh grade. Today it aver
ages the third year in high school.
But beyond this is the fact that the
present-day United States soldier
has desire to read.
To satisfy this the Army is en-
barked on an unparalleled effort to
supply worthwhile reading to its
men. In this work it has the CO.
operation of the American Library
Association.

program is so closely related to the
