Salem schools are well equipped, and have been allotted excellent library space. i Reading of books and the guidance in selection of books are considered an important part of the modern school child's course of study. Bush school is typical of the ex cellence of library service offered children of the Salem elementary grades. .Walter C. Beck,- principal of Bush has written information about the school library and its importance to the pupils. He says in his article: "One of the important projects for the year at Bush Is the school library, for while surveying the field ' om. materials, one should not overlook the importance of books. The newer visual and au ditory aids are gaining popularity, but reading will always remain one of our most valuable sources of I information and pleasure. A genuine love of good books and a knowledge of how to use them, are Air Corps Seeks Women Recruits towards the goal of 600,000 women sought for enlist ment in the army air corps are being taken by the local army recruiting office, Lt.

"It has been found that recre ational reading and research is done almost entirely by children of the upper classes. Lower grade pupils learn how to select a book, to find its card, in the file case, to locate it on the shelves and how to have it charged out. Primary grades use the library for a study hour in addition to reading time. "All checking, slipping and keep ing the library in order, through shelf reading is done by pupils. Fourteen boys and girls are cho sen and are trained for this task. Each student librarian works two periods a week in the library and shows great pride in doing the work well. '. "Education through a reading pro cram may be summed up as an attempt to place 'the Tight books in every child's hands at the proper time and to teach him to . make the most of the book. Materials should be cho sen so the individual may pro gress at his own rate ef learn injr. True enrichment of the po--tentlal artists, philosophers and scientists of tomorrow requires extensive reading." Michelle Lee,' bora November 11.' Dea coness hospital. .

Sutherland can discuss sagely the Pacific strategy on al most any occasion, explaining to whoever might inquire, the mo tives, consequences, and possible bearing on over-all strategy of practically any move in the area, r On the : other , hand, Sergeant Schneikart frequently frames lu cid, detailed reports, purely fac tual in content, sununing.up the European picture in 200 to 300 words, and t h e n appending a paragraph of his own conclusions, the result of close studies of avail able information.
