How do you treat your
books? This question is ap
propriate novi even though
it may be a little late
for this school term The
fact that books are assi^*^-
ed to students free or for
a small rental fee 'does
not mean that books cost
nothing. Since they are
loaned or rented, students
should be even more care
ful of hov.’ they are treat
ed. Books are expected to
last several years when
given'the proper care. For
that reason you should
try to pass the book on
to another student next
year in the very best con
dition possible. Books are
expensive and they are
paid for in our state by
the taxpayers. One's
father is one of them.
CARE
.Vihat care should be taken
of books? They should be
kept clean. Avoid using
your boo!:s while your
hands are dirty. Store
your books while not in
use in clean places. Do
not leave them on the
floor in ha-lls, class
rooms, and at hone. Be
careful v/ith them on the
school busses. Do not
leave them cn the yard. Be
careful about marking them,
i.fark only for assignments
a«d erase those marks
aJ'ter the assignment has '
been completed. Do not
allow baby brother or sis
ter to deface and soil
them. Be careful about
breaking the backs of
books. Keep pencils and
other things out of books
v;hile they are closed.
Do not dog ear books. The
corners cf the pages will
soon tear oi'f.
RiiFUXS: ENTS
::uch difficulty has been
experienced during this
year in getting books.
New adoptions have been
made in ^-a'^y subjects.
Those bc^'O^rtj have come
through slowly. Replace
ments for old adoptions
have in maviy cases been
impossible to get. If
core is taken of the books
vi/e have, fev;er students
will be deprived of this
iraportant tool.
Probably, most important
of all, do rot lose or mis
place them.
