AUNT POLLY'S LETTER

Dear Junior Friends: - Why do you suppose there are so many piles and piles, and stacks and stacks, of books in the world, and why have so many of them been stored and kept and carefully treasured for many years? Since these books have been kept so long it must be because people have felt a need of them and have believed that they were and could be valuable to them. Believing this, they have kept hundreds and thousands of books, good ones and better ones and poor ones, and have kept them where many people could read them. All of these or, a great number of them, at least, we have in our city library, in the school libraries, and in our stores, and from them we may pick out the book we wish to read. We select a book whose name we like or which "looks good," or one that we are to read "for outside reading" at school, one our parents or friends have suggested, one the librarian tells ua about, or one we have seen advertised. For one or several of these reasons we take out from the storehouses of books, the books we wish to read. As we read and study and learn more about the world and the folks in it, about the many kinds of subjects on which books have been written, we keep selecting books from a larger and larger field, just as when we are older we can go to play with friend3 who live farther

away from us than we could when we were younger. First ,we had to stay in our own yard, then we could play with the children several houses away, and then we could go ' anywhere on the square," and after awhile we were old enough to go across the street and the cartracks to spend the morning playing with our friends. Our taste and "understanding of books should grow like that, and keep growing broader and finer and better all the time. Just as we come up the stairs of our city library to the second floor, we see to the right of us a handsome bronze tablet on which is a splendid sonnet written by Mr. William Dudley Foulke. Read it next time you go the library. ' It is speaking about books, and begins like this: "Whatever be thy fortune or thy state, ' The way to high companionship is free; 1 ij);1 Here are they all, the wise, the good, the great And their best thoughts they offer unto thee." ' ' r Books are companionable. We read in them things we have thought

and felt, but which we didn't know others thought and felt, too, and it is like talking with a friend to read books like this. Books entertain us and teach us things we did not know before. In reading what other and great minds and people have thought and said and done, the way that is happiest to walk in, is opened up to us, we see the road ahead on which we wish to go. Books are (though some are not and some only are, more or less!) interesting and enjoyable and worthwhile. But we must select and must learn to make our selection better all the time. When we read a book well thought out and well written, we should feel even better than when we have taken our milk lunches

at school, for, it is probably more important to give good, building-up food to our minds than to our bodies. And besides being a good thing to do, we like to read books, don't we? AUNT TOLLY.

STORY OFSPEECH In Old Egypt We are now talking about the people that lived In Egypt about the time that the Babylonians were making clay tablets to write upon. One day the boys went to the -river called the Nile. This river was like the two rivers where the land was called Mesopotamia. It overflowed and spread rich mud on the land. This made the land fertile. Keeneyes (there was a Keeneyes in Egypt, too) saw a plant which they called papyrus. They split the stem and inside was a soft pithy substance. This they rolled out in Btrips and found they could write on it with a soft Btick , dipped in a berry juice. First, they made pictures of things, such as the horned viper, the owl, the eagles or the lioness. Then, after ages of time, these pictures , were made so hurriedly that they looke'd like letters made crudely and clumsily. Every time they had a new idea they had to make a new picture. ' After a time there wore so many pictures that no one but priest and king could learn them. Wilma Morgan, grade 7A, Garfield school.

What Do Whales Live On? The big whalebone whale has so small a throat that it could not swallow other fish. Its food consists of little life-forms found in the sea, as sea butterflies. The toothed whales eat anything they can catch.
