FOREWORD Arnold Bennet, famous English essayist and literary critic, has said that litera- ture is not divided into the two parts, poetry and prose, but rather into literature of knowledge and literature of power. By the former he means literature of the informing type: for example, dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks, and biogra- phies. The latter includes, in varying degrees, all inspiring original compos'tions. So under the general classification of Books, the them' -I this year, we may place two subdivisions, books of knowledge and book.. of power. ln order to obtain a fuller understanding of the importance of education, we must realize that if we are to learn to understand and enjoy books of power, we must have a lirm, solid foundation built by frequent contact with books of knowl- edge. All but an infinitely small percentage of this Contact we obtain in the schools. Take a fleeting glance at the great variety of 'books of knowledge to be found in Portland High School. In the library, we have the dictionaries, the encyclo- pedias, the almanacs, and the biographies: also all other kinds of reference hbooks. ln the classrooms there are the textbooks. P j many are books on mathematics, English, Latin, French, Spanish, Gerinar - fek, chemistry, phys Biology, history, bookkeeping. shorthand, typewriting, art, cooking, and drawing. these books of knowledge are at the disposal of t' reshman who enters DN 'ligll School to help him strengthen his foundation for l' woks of power. For those who were freshmen four years ago and are now senioxs, ,sent a book which, by definition, is a book of knowledge, but which is intrinsically, because it is ever to be treasured in memories, a book of power--your 1935 TOTEM.
