THE TORCH ( I A department conducted for | The Warren Connty | Memorial Library By MABEL DAVIS The Librarian Welcome Home The return of Dr. Gibbs and MrsSeligman, two of our very good library friends who have been out of town since the beginning of summer?the former visiting his son in Charlotte, the latter spending a pleasant summer with relatives in Pittsburg and New York?has made glad the hearts of their friends. Both are frequent visitors to the library and our staff extends a hearty welcome. In and About the Library "The Oppermanns," by Lion Feuchtwanger, gift of Mrs- Seligman, is the latest addition to our shelvesIt is a German story written with sympathy for the Jews, though I am not sure the author, whose real name is not given, is a Jew. We have one other book?Josephus?by the same author and I think I can recommend "The Oppermanns" without having read it. Other friends have remembered us with flowers during the week. The wild dogwood from Miss Lula Allen's garden has attracted the attention of all who have been in the libraryI need not say that we appreciate these gifts. For Juniors Many of you have discovered that "series" books are taboo in public libraries. Perhaps you have wondered why we have not bought the "Betty Drew" books, and some others you would like to read. One reason is that we haven't a lot of money and we are sure that you will be able to borrow as many as will be good for you, for books of that type are cheap- You must have noted, too, that they have no place on the accredited reading list for your grade- Unless you belong to the time-killer class you have guessed the reason. Books that merely entertain you for the mo ment are like funny dreams. They leave you with nothing to remember. The "Twin'1 books by Mrs- Lucy Fitch Perkins do not really belong to the series class though there are many of them, for no two of them are about the same children. Mrs. Perkins wrote them because she wanted to help the American children to feel more kindly toward the children of foreigners, who are often misunderstood in our city schools. The author of the "Twin" books is an artist. Did you ever notice how many authors are skilled artists? She taught art in a fashionable art school before her marriageShe had also been employed by publishers to draw the illustrations for their books while she lived in Boston. So when her children were both in school and she found time to take up her old work again, she was kept busy illustrating stories for other people. The publisher for whom she worked asked her why she did not write her own stories. one aeciaea to try and "The Dutch Twins" was what she wrote- It was a great success, so she continued to write. She spent much time in studying the problems of some of the European nations. She read of the hardships that came to the tenant farmers of Scotland because the wealthy landowners decided to turn their large farms into hunting preserves, leaving the tenants with no land to cultivate. The Scotch Twins tells us something about that. The Pioneer Twins give us some idea of the courage of the children of the American pioneers- All of Mrs. Perkins books really leave the reader a deeper understanding of the problems of other people and are therefore good reading for the grades for which they were written. How different they are from the "Tom Swift" books in which the same boys and their adventures are carried through about thirty books. Most all books fall into one of two classes; those that merely entertain and those that leave the reader with a deeper understanding of people- "Pleasure" books are good in their way, but they do not supply the nourishment required for growing minds. A good book should do inai, i tninK.

Battles with blacksnake whips, shotguns, stones and wrenches are depicted with vivid action and beautiful photography. Workers are attacked and slain and locomotives haul the pipe from the earth. In the face of this violence the farmers carry on and build the world's first pipe line across rivers and over mountains to the refinery at Bayonne, N. J. The story of that heroic struggle was taken almost directly, incident by incident, from the romantic annals of the Tide Water Associated Oil Company whose pioneers built this first pipe line to the sea.
