These girls are reliable and capable of holding their position. The duty of the council is to help the principals :ml the school in general. They hold their meetings once a week, and discuss agairs of the school. The president is usually a ninth grader, who has been a pupil of this school longer than the other members.

IINTIMATE 'eoMPAN1oNs fy Beautiful color prints of child life, by Jessie lVilcox Smith, and a collection of historical pictures give delightful spots of color in a frieze around the wall above the book shelves. The banner of Old Glory waves gracefully above the entrance, reminding all of the duties and responsibilities we owe for all our wonderful privileges. This spacious reading room is used at all periods of the day as well as before- of reference, special topics, and pleasure reading. The quiet, restful atmosphere affords a change so necessary for tired students, under the light from high win- dows, soft and ideal for reading and studying.-Edna Taylor, A9g l'Vi71lllfl'CClv Tlzead, AS, Audrey Shultz, AS. Adventures of a New Book Wlien a new book comes into our library, it is the work of the assistants to initiate it. Of course, the book is new and stiff, and it has to be limbered so the binding will not break when it goes into use. Then comes the collating-or in other words, looking through the book to see that all of the pages have been put in, and in the right order. The check pocket, and date slip are then put in the front of the book. The McKinley stamp is put on five different places to show that the book is a member of the Knowledge Club and belongs strictly to our school library. The most prominent officer of the club, the librarian, then prints neatly the name of the book, the number, if it happens to be a non-fiction hook, and the name of the author on the check and the pocket. She then does what is called cata- loguingg that is, makes a record of it on a card and puts it in our lovely, light-oak library catalogue file. Ljast, but not least, is the work of finding a home on the shelf and getting acquainted with its neighbors. Thus it becomes of use to the pupils.-Jumzilzi Selby and Edith Kziapp. la-..-+.a. ..-,'. -- .,.,, s -,. ' , . .. - ' .. A
