in 1919 HAMLION FISH, the First,
was Secretary of State, when the present
State Department building was occupied. Be-
fore the first World War the structure housed
not only the u. S. State Department but a
large part of the War and Navy Depart
mentS.
Traditionally, the State Department is
just across a narrow street from the White
House - because it's foreign affairs are so
important that the need for having State
Department officials available at any min
ute for personal conference has been consid-
cred of the utmost Importance.
The State Department building is the
most outstanding public building in Wash
ingtOn outside of the Capitol and White
House, and there is a lot of criticism in
Washington about the reported plans of
President Truman to remove that Depart
ment from it's historic position in Washing
ton, and rehOuse its personnel in the War
Department building and other structures
1t may be only political gossip. Miss Gossip
whispers that the Secretary of the Treasury
may replace the Secretary of State as the
top member of the Presidents Cabinet
The present State Department building
is of French Renaissance design, with man.

lures.
Incidentally the State Department is en-
jOying its greatest prestige in long years be-
cause Secretary James F. Byrnes is it's chief
and also the great top representative of oul
country in the United Nations.

Every school day from l to
3 pm. SiXth-grade pupils take
turns in operating their school
library. Two of them. perhaps
Barbara Greene and Evelyn

Robert Macarthur, sit at the
desk near the door of the
third floor room and "check
out" books which the younger
children want to borrow
There are no library cards,
but the librarian" has each
borrower sign his name. the
title of the book and the date
of the withdrawal on a piece

Books are placed on the
shelves cot by the cOmpli-
uat,u decimal system usually
found in libraries, but under
such titles as Books on Ami
mails" Books About Nature"
Books on Science" etc. SO it
is easy for the sixth-grader
to find a volume which will
please the third grader who
asks for, say, "a book about
planes" Just like librarians
in large public libraries these
student librarians are taught
to help their readers select
reading material which will
interest and at the same time
help them to understand the
world in which they live.
The guiding hand behind
these young librarians is DR..
