Books OOKS are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency pg of life in them to be. as active as that soul was whose progeny they are. This quotation from Milton's Areopagitica testifies MM A' 'f to the essentially vital quality of books - the quality which gives them the power to impel us to achieve greatly, or to in- spire us to live nobly. Besides giving us an interesting pastime, novels and autobiographies aid us in vicariously meeting the men who wrote the books. Along the path to learning, the student often finds that he needs to refer to his text books. Although bookworms are seldom the most popular students in school, no pupil completely ignores books. Mathematics and English books are often useful to the business man, although his work may turn his attention most constantly to books pertaining to his pro- fession. Artists and artisans do most of their reading in books that reveal or appraise their arts and crafts. Teachers read many books in order to en- large their knowledge of the subjects which they teach. When it is necessary to supplement one's vocabulary, that person can read the dictionary or a synonymy. In all the world, men of every vocation need books. Nearly all loaf- ers enjoy good joke books. Although the college boy does not like to study, he can always tell you many of the numbers in the phone book. Without books, a human being would have great difficulty in learning the ideas of famous philosophers and other learned people. V Much has been said and written about books, and the great numbers of libraries and stationer's shops are eloquent witnesses of the popularity of books. It is because of mankind's interest in, and de- pendence upon them, that Books has been selected as the theme of the 1932 Hi-Echo.
