Page fourteen lil ECI-I0 School Books Twp OOKS are like people some of them are useful and some of Qifiegffl' i i 5 them are frivolous. For the past twelve years our closest contact has been with books of the former class, with useful seW ,.lgJ books. These have served as our tools, our implements in building our careers thus far. Since the time when ancient, barbaric races were in existence, people have had the urge to write down their knowledge and to preserve it. Some of the earliest records have been found carved in stone or written on papyrus and buried in the desert sands. Later people began to write their knowledge in books, this custom still remains. Most of our education has been gained, not from our own experience, but from the experiences and learning of others which was set down in writing. After this year, some of us will never come in contact with this type of books again. Our chemistry, algebra, and English books will grow musty with age and neglect. Others will not quite forget their school books. Some of them will use them and apply their rules throughout life. Let us hope that among this latter class there will be a few, who like other research workers, will use the knowledge provided for them in their school books to gain some new piece of knowledge for the world. Have you ever stopped to think that almost every new invention, every new bit of learning, has been made only by a study of the former learning of others? School books do not die for us when we finish school. Let us hope that they may become living friends to all of us.
