Take Time Out-
Read a New Book
The observance of National Li
brary Week, April 8-14, is jointly
sponsored by the National Book
Committee and the American Li
brary Association. National Library
Week was first observed in 1958.
It has as its purposes three princi
pal objectives: (1) more under
standing and support of libraries;
(2) a heightened sense of the im
portance of reading in national life;
and (3) a more active enjoyment
by everyone of the rich rewards of
reading.
The slogan which has been
adopted for 1932 is "The commun
ity that reads—leads." For a cam
pus situation, we may adopt this
to read "The campus that reads—
leads," or "The student who reads
—leads." The earlier slogan "Wake
up and Read" is still applicable to
many persons, particularly in the
light of the results of a recent
questionnaire which reveals that
15% of American college students
never check a book out of their
college library, and that only 6% of
the total circulation in academic
libraries is for non-course reading.
Why not take some time during
National Library Week to discover
among the 50,000 books in your
library some on the subject in
which you have an interest? Read
something just for fun!
Allan Nevins, the noted Ameri
can historian, lists the following
five history books as "musts" for
every American:
1. Carl van Doren's Life of Ben
jamin Franklin.
2. Paul Leicester Ford's The
Many-Sided George Washington.
3. Gilbert Chinard's one-volume
Life of Thomas Jefferson.
4. Ben Thomas' one-volume Life
of Lincoln.
5. Autobiography of Theodore
Roosevelt.
How many of these have you read?

April Month of
Wacky Weeks
(ACP) It was most thoughtful
of the industry, in view of the stir
rings around dormitories in the
spring, to designate April as "Lad
der Month."
April is also Rug Cleaning
month, to descend to a more pro
saic note, Cereal and Milk Spring
Festival, National Automobile
Month, and National Welded Prod
ucts Month (see, fenders, welding
—see?)
Among the more - than - four
weeks of April are Youth Temper
ance Education Week, April 8-14;
National Laugh Week, April 1-9
