CHILDREN'S BOOK WEEK CELEBRATED NOV. 20 AT LIBRARY
i In the Thomas Bailey Aldrlch me mortal house at Portsmouth, N. H., where the famous poet lived as n boy, there is still hanging above hia bed a little twc6helf book-case, which is mentioned in "The Story of a Bad Boy." Here were his very own books. It is the ideal type of bookcase for a girl's or boy's library, as it contains shelf room for a collection any boy or girl can easily expect to make. If any of you, Juniors, would like to make one of these bookcases, I have a working drawing which I will bo glad to send to you. At this time when we are ready to celebrate Book Week, starting a library in our own little way is one of the things for us to think about. This feeling of ownership of books is a splendid thing. Not long ago a little Junior banded me her list of choice books, and as she did so, she said, "Cousin Helen, I can hardly choose between them, because I feel as though it might hurt the other books feelings for me to choose just ten." Truly, that little Junior has made real friends with her books. . . As we grow in our reading, we find that there are some books that we like to read over and over again. These are the books we want to own. To know that these friends are right in our own room, ready to chat with us every time we choose to take them down from the shelf is well worth the effort to obtain them. On the twentieth of this month we begin the week set apart for Children's Book Week. During tha week visit our own children's room at our library. Our Librarian has

There is a basement, a first and a second floor, and an attic. The basement Is for all small words, and they become more difficult as they go up. As soon as the child can spell the words. In the' basement, he goes to the first floor, and so on, until he has reached the attic. Then he goes to the tree and goes up tho ladder, and spells the word on each limb. He cornea down the ladder on the other side.-Paftl Schwendenmann, reporter for St. Andrew's school. My Pet Pony I have a pet pony named Red Cross; My father ' got him at a Red Cross sale five years ago. We have a barn that has two horse stalls in it. We .made a box stall out of one of them for him, and put hay and . straw In the other. We have to feed him three times a day and exercise him all we can: When you lake him up to a box or something like that, he will put bis front feet up on iir. He will go up stepa and he will get down on his knees and kneel. Red Cross has a funny trick that sometimes causes trouble. He will slip up on you and bite a button off your clothes and ion hide it. Of course we have to go In then and sew on another button. David Campfield, 6A grade, Starr sriool.
