T x vw 1 - N attempting to interpret the events of today, everyone who reads books, magazines, or newspapers needs a knowledge of how others have lived and survived difficulties. Books that increase our capacity for understanding the lives of others, books that develop our appreciaf tion of beauty in common things, and books that call attention to the finer experiences of life-all of these have a definite place in the present scheme of affairs because they enable a person to judge more fairly and to evaluate more accurately the significance of events both trivial and important. An abundance of reading material, if it is easily accessible, will promote wider and more intelligent reading. The English department, this sem' ester, inaugurated a program for classroom libraries. Through contrif butions made by students in all English classes approximately three hundred books: fiction, nonffiction, and biography have been purchased and put into circulation. This arrangement facilitates guidance in the selection of books suited to the individual. The ultimate objective is to develop a genuine love for reading, to kindle a desire to continue reading both for information and for enjoyment. 24
