Through the efforts of Miss Ashfield, assistant superintendent of schools, four sets of reference books have been presented to the library. Those works are: “Carpenter’s Travels” in twenty volumes; “The Pageant of America” in eleven volumes; Elbert Hubbard’s “Little ee to the Homes of Great Americans” in thirteen volumes; and “The Complete Works of Roosevelt,” which consists of twenty works. Much credit is due the Board of Education for their work in supplying the library with new books. Two authors have donated copies of their works to Richmond Union High School. One, Mr. W. C. Durant, Chicago financier and donor of a prize for the recent prohibition enforcement plan, has sent his “Law Observance” to the library. W. P. Bartlett has donated two copies of his book “More Happenings in California” with this inscription’ “Big schools should turn out big men. I hope yours does.” Two features of the library that have proved to be interesting are the news paper section and the magazine section. “The New York Times” book review and magazine section are contributed each week by Miss Dotts. To get the most benefit out of the library, the students must cooperate with those in charge. Although books are being added to the shelves of the library from time to time, the library is by no means fully equipped. Old or new books will be gratefully accepted by the Librarian. Fifteen
