So Ilia wire' flea away fo flu' bvst of all climos, lVl1ivl1 you autor flzrouglz History, rllcmoirs or R11 ymcs, That most wonderful COIIIIILI'-X' of Books. The Teachers College library was begun in Septem- ber. 1922. About five hundred volumes were trans- ferred from Junior College where the Teacher Train- ing School has been housed. Many of these volumes had been the property of the Elizabeth Moss Kinder- garten Training School. The equipment at that time consisted of a desk, a magazine case and a card cata- logue case. A small portion of the present shelving Srn1.1..A Puaizsox was installed about five weeks after school opened. 1-1l'ff11'1UH The tables and chairs were provided during that fall. During that winter Miss Pierson did-not give all of her time to the library as she was on the regular teaching staft. ' Since that time the, library has increased in book stock and equipment until it has almost outgrown its present quarters. There are now approximately 10,000 volumes, including bound magazines and reference books and a subscription list of sixty-four periodicals in the library. The library endeavors to provide for the College students all literature needed in academic reference work and supplementary material for practice teaching. lVith the rapid expansion of the work of the College, however. during the past two or three years, the library is becoming badly crowded and additional room is needed. . l mir'

During the past year this club has prepared itself to be the protectors of Nature by taking excursions into the fields and woods, thus becoming familiar with hell ways and secrets. A Nature trail has been established in Swope Park which will lead many outsiders to a keener appreciation of Nature. Several social events have been held this year. A slumber party, for the purpose of initiating new mem- ALBE'gRfiLR'-ING bers, was held. A Valentine's party was given as a C , farewell to Miss Marjorie Simpson and as a welcome to Miss Mary Robinson. A study of birds, trees and plant life has been taken up in club meetings 5 thus the club members became well prepared to teach little children the wonders of the out-of-doors.
