mands. General reading has declined,
a. has the study OF pure scholarship
But statistics show tho demand for
books Is more intense, more concen-
trated, and more directly related to gov
ernmental action in time OF war than
in time of peace. 80 What has actually
changed is not the practice but the OBJ
ject Of reading. The call for books
in such divisions as the Maps Division,
the Aeronautics Division, the Slavic Di-
vision and the Asiatic Division has been
extremely heavy.
During the fiscal year 1943, 434,176
persons visited the main building and
125,004 the annex. Over 100000 were
readers. An estimate of how many
used material related to the war is diff
f1cult, but to say that fully half of them
read matter pertaining to the conflict
would not be overstating the case.
Tomorrow's Headlines.
Decisions which are arrived at today,
and make the headlines tomorrow, are
grounded on research completed yester-
day" Many headlines were first con-
ceived in the quiet of the Library Of
Congress study rooms.
Calls for research materials are varied
Extensive lists of strategic materials re-
ceived during the week are Immediately
circulated to war Offices so they may
know all available worldwide develop
ments. Scientists working upon war in
ventions ask for copies of foreign SCI

She became teacher at the Build

was opened in October, 1887 The school
its Chinese name is Chen Kuo Hsueh
Hsiao-now occupies two rooms in the
basement of the Chinese Community
Church at 1011 L street NV.
Glasses first were taught on the top
floor of Mount Vernon Place Methodist
Episcopal Church, South. Then they
moved to Calvary Baptist Church, later
to Waddell Hall and finally to the pres
ent location when the church was pur-
chased in 1899. The present school is
successor to the Chinese School, estab-
hshed in 1881 in Chinatown and taught
by S. c. Lee until his return to China
In 1897.
Miss Chue Is in charge of the begin

Ching Chong Hung, pastor of the in
terdenominational church which serves
Washington's approximately 1000 Chi

Record Enrolment.
Enrolment reached record high this
year. the Rev. Mr.. Hung reported. A
tuition fee of SO a month is charged
for each child. Pupils ranging in age
from 7 to II years study around long
tables. Blackboards line the classrooms
An austere picture of DR.. Sun Yat Sen,
father of modern China and first Presi-
dent of the Chinese Republic, hangs in
the beginners room. In the advanced
pupils room, Chang Kai-shek and
George Washington look down from the
walls.
The Rev. Mr. Hung considers the
Build-Up- -Your-N Nation School one of
the most important activities sponsored
by the Chinese Community Church.
He sums up the schools aims in one
two-three order: l, To help the church
reach the Chinese community; 2, to
aid family adjustment; 3, to diffuse
culture; 4, to promote social and rec
reational activity, and 5, to help in vo-
cational preparation.
American-born Chinese, he pointed
out, are cut off from the cultural herit-
age of the oldest living civilization
to which they belong-unless they can
read and understand it's language The
school aims to bridge that gap so that
this legacy of the ages may enrich their
citizenship.
Understanding Chinese Ways.
Sometimes" he added, seriously 'the
American-born Chinese child tends to
think his parents are old fogies. When
he learns to understand the reasons for
Chinese ways and customs, misunder-
standings are avoided and the Chinese
family group is happier"
In addition to the language, he ex-
planned, pupils are taught Chinese eti-
quette, geography folk songs, fairy tales,
stories of famous people, the history
of China, tales of prehistoric people,
hygiene, and singing.
Singing is important for good rea-
son." he said. Chinese children attend
public school every day and then, In
addition, spend two hours learning a
very difficult language. Singing helps
them avoid fatigue"
