They follow the guide up and down stairs, through narrow passages, gathering all the dust lrom the stacks and secret places ofthe B.P.L., the Boston Athenaeum, l'N'idener, and local libraries. Their leet get tired, but they like the glimpse they get of what goes on behind the scenes, and the chance they have of ap- plying class theories to what they see. Favorite trip this year was one through the Yenching Institute lChinese- Japanesel with Dr. Chu as guide, during which they saw manuscripts two thousand years old. Cirls in Libe get a chance to put theories into practice, also, during summer vacations, when many of them assist in, or even take charge ol, libraries in their home towns. Their practice work is brought to a climax in the second semester ofthe last year, when they go to libraries in several states tor two weeks of concentrated experience on actualjobs. 020, the Library School undergraduates' club, emph- asized the war effort this year, starting off with a talk by lNIrs.

Under her leadership, busy members went down to headquarters to help sort the sixty thousand V-Books turned in by the civilian public. C20 tound time, too, tor monthly teas and meetings.

Bott r books for all-and books ss M Hippophagisl, hippophilc, llippopotalnus Collins and Lima There's plenty of variety in the library field, as you are reminded when you see a Bookmobile making its rounds through a rural district, when your serviceman writes that the camp librarian has been helping him bone up on some technical stuff, when you contribute a book to the V-Book campaign and-of courseiwhen you go over to the Branch Library to get a nice love story for Aunt Iulia. The Simmons School of Library Science trains its students Call ofthem enrolled as members in the A.L.A.j lor work in libraries big and little, general and special- ized. Miss Nina C. Brotherton is acting as Director of the School. Libe students go through three years of stiff academic work, during which they elect as many courses as they can in their pet subjects, tor in their Senior year, when prolessional training really begins, they don't have a Cll?tl1CC lor anything but technical courses. They prepare tor jobs as public librarians in regional or small town libes, as children's librarians Cthere's a big field thereg it seems there are always children aroundj, as librarians specializing in book selection, cataloguing, etc., or as special librarians in any field from banking and tech- nology to music and art. Senior year is one of the hardest in any school, with classes almost every hour, and with a huge amount ot' outside work. Upperclass students spend most of their tree time in Room 318, where there is a special library tor their own use, and where they each have a desk. Besides the intensive work they do in school, they take a Hall of Minerva .-..-----.- -... Y--. .- --v--- .. .. -.N ,,,, 3-:

The school at- tracts the outsider also by displays of' textiles and by the gowns draped over mannequins in the Clothing rooms. Home Ec girls do not intend to be cooks or dressmakers, but they could be. Along with their academic courses and their sci- entific work in chemistry and biology, they receive training in the actual preparation offood and the design and making ofclothing. The names of' some of their courses speak for themselves: Experi- mental Cookery, Community Nutrition, Interior Decorating, History of'Crnament, Home Management. Foods majors have a chance to try out their wares when they hold bargain food sales in Evans basement on Tuesday nights. Cirls from all over campus come over for late snacks. Home Ec brownies are famous. Clothing majors, likewise, put their training to good use: dorm girls hang out their shingles and solicit campus trade in the dressmaking line. just before MIC and News, they are swamped with orders for shortening, lengthening, taking in, letting out, and lifting the faces ofgowns. Home Ec courses aren't easy, though they may seem so much Henderson, Davis, Butler l I iw I
