I hope you will enjoy reading the rest of the story. SINCLAIR KORMAN, 4Al. 469591-'55 When We Were Very 'Young K'When We Were Very Youngn was writ- ten by A. A. Milne. It is a book of poetry. The poem that I like best is, If I Were King. It is about a little boy who said, Ulf I were king of Spain, I would take off my hat in the rain. I am sure you would like to read the rest of the book yourself. You would enjoy read- ing it because poetry is so interesting. SHIRLEY PLOTNICK, 4Al. 96 -JG 95 96 Adventures of ci Brownie The book, Adventure of a Browniefl was written by Dina C. Mulock. The story is about amischievous Brownie who always got into trouble. The story I liked best was, 'fThe Brownie and The Cherry Tree. One day mother said to Ned, Bob, and little Nell, 'lYou may go out into the orchard and pick cherries, but do not climb the tree. unless jack gets them for you. When they reached the orchard, jack was nowhere to be seen. But read the rest of the story and rind out if the children got the cherries or not. ADELE PFEFERBLUM, 4AI. , MANHATTAN-I UNE, l930 Myths of the Red Children The stories in this book are Indian legends. They were written by Gilbert L. Wilson. The story I like best is How the Bear Lost Ilis Tail. A fox once stole some Hsh. As he was carrying them a bear came along and asked where he had gotten them. The fox, think- ing he would play a trick on the bear, said, 'fOh, I just put my tail into the ice which covered the lake. The bear did this and the ice froze so he couldn't get his tail out. He pulled so hard that his tail came off. I like this story because it is humorous. HOWARD IVIARKS, 4Al. if 45 95 -JG Historical Plays for Children HHistorical Plays for Childrenn was writ- ten by two men named Bird and Starling. It contains plays about Magellan, Colum- bus, Marco Polo and other famous men of the past. I liked the play of Marco Polo best. Marco Polo lived in Italy and wished to go to Cathay. He knew that everybody was rich there and that he could bring home spices, gold, silver and other precious things. Ile started off and went over the Swiss Alps. I am sure you would enjoy reading the rest of it because it is very exciting. ELLIOT HAUPT, 4Al. G CD CD CD Page Twe1zty-.tefuelz

PUBLIC SCIIOOL 173, IVIANIIATTAN-jUNE, 1930 The Benefits of Books Let us imagine as we read in the library that we lived a long time ago. We would have seen very few books. King john of France had twenty books in his library, which was considered a big one. Books were very expensive. At that time there were monasteries scat- tered in all parts of Europe. The monks in the churches sometimes spent their lifetime copying books. The Egyptians' books were simply rolls of papyrus. This was a plant that grew along the Nile River. Since there were so few books, pains were taken to make them beautiful by hand. They were sometimes covered with rich vel- vet or studded with precious stones. No one thought of making books for children. They had to read from the older people's Bible. A man named Gutenberg began to print. People thought it was witchcraft. After that the little chiIdren's primer was made by means of a wooden block on which the letters were scratched. It was a queer book. We are very lucky. We have as many books as we want. The libraries teach us more than any person could. We get both knowledge and pleasure from reading. We are fortunate to have a school library of our own. NAOMI FINE, 6Bl. Reading Club Since Miss Iflynes was so kind as to pre- sent us with some books we got a notion to form a reading club. The purpose of the club is to know good literature. Page Twenty-six Some of the books are, 'fln the Days of the Giants, The jungle Book, Thirty More Famous Stories, When Grandfather Was a Boy,', 'Travels of Marco Polo, HBurgess Bird Book, Historical Plays for Children, 'fAbout Birds. I wish you could read them all. The children also gave books as, Lives of the Presidents, Igloo Tales From Eskimo Land, and the Book of Knowledge, and others. We have meetings every Friday at I0 A. IVI. We were very interested in reading so we received permission to visit the school library every other Friday. We have made book reports. The following are some of our reports which I think you may enjoy read- ing. BERNARD DIAMOND, 4AI. if -If 5? 9? just So Stories The name of my book is just So Stories. The author of this book is Rudyard Kipling. These stories are, just So Stories. The story I liked best is, How The Camel Got llis Hump. There was a camel who did not want to work. If somebody would speak to him all he would say would be, lslumph! A horse came by and said, Camel, O, Camel, come and trot like the rest of us. But all the camel said was, HumphI , and the horse went and told the man. A dog came by and said with a stick in his mouth, Camel, O, Camel, come and fetch and carry like the rest of us. But all the camel said was, IIumph! , and the dog went and told the man. ' An ox came by and said, Camel, O, Camel, come and plough like the rest of us. But all the camel said was, Humph! , and the ox went and told the man.
