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
