Mere are a few facts the survey brought to light: . I :A. Cfnce last September. 13,250 books have been read by the pupils ' e Pa rrish and Leslie.- " This is an average of nearly 10 backs per pupil, but considering tkat only books of which the stu dents could recall the names were coasted in the 13.250, the figures eaaae considerably under covering tbe real reading. A number of students have read 75 W 80 books In the period; oth ers read barely two or three re paired by teachers in "outside" reading. One girl reports at least 2t titles she has read. Comment lag; apon what appears incredulous Mlea Rauch said of the girl who bad read 200 books: "The school librarian and her teachers consid er tfais possible, as they have ob served what an Inveterate reader ska Is." The number of books reported aaee to English TVchers for read lag credit was 3.983, an average of three per pupil. - Students, asked In the survey to -tat the kinds of books they like beat, named almost every type. Taare was little difference between la preference of boys and girls Books of adventure and action ware the most popular; other were partial to books of mystery. of Che sea, of the olden day, of dls- 'carery and Invention, of animal Ufa and of history.

Many people, when told this fact will say "yes," but you are selling too cheap to make any money. Well, we will admit that our prices are low but our selling expense is little more than half what it would be in the congested down town district. Who is to be congratulated on this tremendous growth? Isn't it true that the suc cess of any business depends upon its following? We believe that is true and we congratulate you, the thousands of people, of this community, for the success you have made possible in this market and assure you that we will do everything possible to make this market a profitable and convenient place for you to trade six days in every week.
