Great Improvements
in Lindsay’s Library
We have had a librarian come
to our school to catalogue the
books in our library. She made a
card for each book and a com

This catalogue will enable us
to know better what is in our li

more easily,

My Christmas Gifts. No, 1.

I was very glad at Christmas
because I received a desk, tie,
candy, nuts, fruits, game, silver
pencil, two knives, and a dandy
Christmas dinner. I expected
nuts, candy, fruits, and the desk.
I didn't know I would get a game
or the pencil or the knives. I can-
no1^‘ decide between the pencil,
knives, or the desk, which I will
enjoy the best,

The Funniest Thing I Ever Saw
One of the funniest things I
ever saw was a bear riding a bi
cycle at a circus. At the circus
they had different cages and the
different animals came out and
did stunts. I was greatly amused
when the bears came out. They
rode old-fashioned bicycles. It
was very amusing to see them.

New Books and New Shelves
At Lindsay we have just re

were donated by the out-going

are all books on nature, such as

their minds to make better men

of these libraries and make their
young minds strong enough to
bear the nation’s burdens.
There was once a lit!tle boy
who had to work in a factory. It
was rather hard work but the
“boss” was very kind. He had a
large library in his home and he
let his employees come and read
his many books every Saturday.
Andrew Carnegie (for that was
his name) liked this very much
for he had no education and as he
wanted one very much he was
glad to take advantage. This im
pressed him very much and when
he grew up he built libraries all
over the country. He had been a
little boy hungry for knowledge
and he knew how much all other
little boys and girls would like to
read and also how much good
public libraries would do.
I went to the public library for
my first time not long ago. I had
known before that reading the
books there would do me a lot of
good but I didn’t realize that it
was really important that I
should go. It was only an acci
dent that I went with someone
and now I am certainly glad that
“accidents will happen!” My lit
tle friend could hardly get me
away from there and before leav
ing, I made up my mind to keep
that from being the last time.
Lindsay St. School is fortunate
in having a very good library.
There are books of every descrip

What the Library Means to
a School Child
The library is an important
part of the school. The children
get much out of it for all of their
studies. They can find a book,
for history, geography and most
all that they would like to know
about. Then, too, there are story
books. Many idle minutes could
have been saved by reading a
charming story about nature, art.

fairies.
In the Public Library lies a
good deal of the nations strength.
There are books for children and
even grown people to come

—Zaidee Smith
The Library
The shelves are lined with all
kinds of books.
With instructions, for every one,
ev^n the cooks.
There are fat books and thin
books.
In every corner, and even in
nooks.
Here is a book for little Jim,
All al)OUt wars and the soldiers
of tin.
This book belongs to tiny Mary;
It’s about brownies and a good
little fairy.
For big brother here is a book of
history.
Twelve-year-old Johnny likes
nothing but mystery;
There are books for the grown
folks;
And hundreds of the best kind of
jokes.
Anything wanted can be found
there,
From the humblest person to the
queen so fair.
So the library, you see, deserves
the very best care.
