BOREAS 7 arranged in alphabetical order to make them easy to find. For the mak- ing of the subject cards the table of contents is examined to find the pro- per subjects, and references and cross references are made. Some books re- quire only one subject card, while others may need several. This system, we know, sounds rath- er complicated at first, but we feel that as we begin to use it, we shall understand it beter. The way the cards are going to be arranged and also the order in which the books are put on the shelves will make it easier to find the book for which you are looking. We feel that this system is a good one, and that, as our library grows from year to year, more of the pupils are going to use and enjoy it. Now let's all try to understand the new sys- tem of our school library and then use it! G. Goff '45 lk 1 1 K LET'S DO MORE READING How much reading do you do? What is your answer to this? We can never do too much reading so far as worth-while books are concerned. Very few of us realize the educa- tion a person can obtain in reading. Books increase our vocabularies to a great extent. They help us get ac- quainted with life itself, and with great writers. We learn the author's view on life and his experiences. If reading is taken seriously. The statement from Bacon Reading mak- eth a full man is true. The reader is full of ideas and his life is full of riches. Bacon's advice on how to read is also valuable. He suggests that you only taste some books, swallow others, and some few should be chew- ed and digested. The modern novel would be one to taste or skim through. Books with more depth in them should be read with more attention, while books of great value should be read wholly, and be given much thought and then reread occasionally. It has been said that movies have been more popular than reading. If this is true, something should be done about itg for something very precious has gone out of American life. We should consider many things. From what sources have many of the best movies originated? The answer to this is books. Stories have to be written for all movies. Fine as a movie may be, it can never be an adequate substitute for reading, We should be interested in the author of the stories behind the movies, and how the story came about. Enjoyment as well as finding an ed- ucation, can be found in reading. A better pastime or hobby could not be found. A person who becomes ac- quainted with books in early life will never be without a companion in later years when many of his friends have gone. Why don't you find out for your- self and read more? J. Potter '45
