' . if 4 . .,a,ae,e:,,w ,W a Books As we gaze at the book shelves of a library, we are filled with a longing to begin with the first book and explore these strange lands of fiction. Most of us are slaves to environment, but need we be when books offer a certain and delightful release? In reviewing the trials of others, an individual steels him- self to meet his own trials. Those who live a commonplace, uneventful existence find joy and excite- ment and relief from the Treadmill of Life by living in imagination the adventures of others. In great trials or sorrows we seek solitude, forgetfulness or sympathy in these imaginary but understanding friends. To one who has no opportunity for an education, there is no better teacher than good books, which instruct him in the school of experience of others. In our search for amusement, education, refinement or consolation, we may end our quest in the world of fiction. As we realize the effect of books on our associates and on ourselves, we can not fail to admire those great writers who have rendered such a service to mankind. We wish to give vent to the ambition aroused within us and to aid in some way our fellow men so that our names shall be indelibly printed on the sands of time never to be erased by the great tide of humanity.
