CASEY HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY One of the things which has helped most in the development of this rich Casey field is the Casey High School Library, where reference can be found on every phase of work. This library was established at a cost of fifteen hundred dollars in October, 1921, by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Yeager as a memorial to their son, Leon Grant Yeager. Every year the school board has added more books and magazines until at present our library comprises eighten-hundred volumes covering all fields of science. religion, sociology, biography, literature and history. There are five-hundred books for special use in English, four hundred for History, one hundred fifty on social sciences and one hundred twenty-five on science, mathematics forty, music thirty, besides the fiction group. In addition to fifteen reference magazines including Literary Digest, Outlook, Asia, World Work, Time, Review of Reviews, National Geographic, Musical Courier, Bookman, etc., there are many general magazines received regularly. In the newspaper files you will find the Chicago Tribune and various school and college papers. The books have recently been arranged according to the Dewey Decimal System. In this system the books are separated into ten classes numbered as follows: 000-099—General Works: Dealing with no particular subject such as encyclopedias, newspapers, etc. 100-199—Philosophy: Psychology, ethics, etc. 200-299—Religion : Christian and non-Christian beliefs. 300-399—Sociology: Government, economics, law, education, etc. 400-499—Language: Readers, grammars, dictionaries, etc. 500-599—Science : Mathematics, astronomy, geology, botany, etc. 600-699—Useful Arts: Medicine, engineering, home economics, etc. 700-799—Fine Arts: Architecture, needle work, painting, etc. 800-899—Literature: Poems, drama, and essays in all languages. 900-999—History: Travel, history of all countries and ages. Travel: In all countries. Biography. A card catalogue which is placed in the library is a great help to both students and librarian in finding the books. From 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. a large number of students can be found in the library looking up references on every subject, and supervised by Miss Retha Miller, our very efficient librarian. Pa ye nineteen
