THE TATTLER This is the library age. In a recent year, one hundred new general library laws have been passed by American states. The modern library movement exceeds any other in history, in public interest and support as well as in magnitude of gifts. It meets with cordial support and hearty co-operation from all who are in any way concerned with education, because it constitutes a large part of education it self. Reading is said to “be the most potent and most economical influence exerted for good on old and young alii e. It is tin longest lever with which human hands have ever pried. The value of the best reading is in giving that information which will help people to do better work, or perhaps in giving that find of inspiration which broadens and sweetens one’s life. Let’s make it a habit. Books are our friends. CONSERVATION OF FOOD. With the signing of the armistice America’s responsibility in tin conservation of food does not end. Rather there is opportunity for a greater, and more far-reaching service. We have done well but the task before us is far greater than the task achieved. Besides the allied nations those people who have recently been freed from German oppression are looking to America for food. Can we who have responded so nobly to every demand made upon us ignore this added trust ? We are not called upon at this time to save sugar, fats and meats and to use substitutes for wheat. We are rather asked to keep the garbage can empty , to eat just enough and to practice the “Gospel of the clean plate.” Careful planning does much toward eliminating unnecessary waste. From a purely selfish standpoint we can afford to observe these things. Thus a patriotic service resolves into a debt which we owe ourselves. The Domestic Science department of Conneaut High School has responded cheerfully and gladly to all requests for conservation and shall continue its efforts to save as long as there is need for such requests. There is nothing peculiar or extraordinary in this attitude, it is merely another manifestation of “Old Conneaut” spirit. WHAT A RELIEF. Yes, it’s true. The “Tattler” board was just a little worried over putting out its first number. Really, students, it’s no laughing matter to arrange for a “Tattler’s” publication. Our Fall number is out and praises be. It was a success because you co-operated, because you showed an interest. We hope you will continue to patronize us. Offer us suggestions and they shall la received gladly. Page Twenty-three

Prom a biological standpoint we are taught that only “the fittest” can and do survive. Further investigation lias shown that only those organs and characters have survived which have been beneficial to the development of the human race. A similar assertion might be made with reference to those customs and institutions which have aided the human race in its progress toward the highest civilization. Probably one of the oldest and likewise one of the fittest of these institutions is the public library. Surely, no other has made a larger contribution than the library. Books are both friends and tools. Records prove that libraries have existed since a very early date. Ruins of one ancient Babylonian library of 2700 B. C. show thirty thousand tablets all neatly arranged. As we trace its growth through the centuries, we find even greater care in the selection of books and in their classification. Ancient kings prided themselves on keeping their collections open to the public. Scribes were constantly engaged in copying and arranging ancient texts. Page Twenty-two

TIIE TATTLER STUDENTS. This paper is published for and by you. We ask your aid in improving this enterprise. If you have any clear snap-shots of your friends hand them to Wilbur Stanley. The Society Department should embrace more items. Will you kindly turn in news of social interest to Catherine Bliekensderfer 1 OUR ADVISORS. Miss Kahler and Miss Merz are the advisors for the board this year. Their cheery aid is remarked upon by the board. Miss Merz has contributed several new poems to this number which she collected during her summer vacation. A floral piece was sent to Frank Risley’s home when word of his death reached our city. Frank is remembered by many C. II. S. students as a bright, cheerful fellow. Early this fall he enlisted and was serving his country when he Avas called by death. C. H. S. can not adequately express its sincere sorrow. HONOR ROLL FOR FIRST QUARTER.
