School Library
The catalogising of the books in the
school library was completed on Mon-
day. After the books had been ar-
ranged according to content and as-
signed a number on the same basis,
the students were able to do and did
do much of the work.
The books of the library were put
in circulation on Tuesday. The pu-
pils have put their stamp of approval
on the library since the volumes are
much in demand.
In order ‘to be adequate for our
needs the library must grow. The
school board has given us a start; the
citizens of the borough may help to
make it grow.
Like all libraries, the Dallas Bor-
ough public school library will accept
donations of good books if given per-
manently.

girl was asked to describe the suffer-

after another,” she replied. “First he
lost’ all his cattle; then he lost all
his children; and then he had to go
and live alone in the desert with his
wife.”

The New Year has brought on a
number of activities at the Wilkes-
Barre Business College. Among them
being increased interest in basketball,
which was shown by the support giv-
en the boys’ and girls’ teams in their
recent conflict with Laketon High
School and which showed them as
they are, as good basketball teams,
but activity is shown in many other
ways. A number of pupils have sig-
nified a desire for a class in Business
Psychology and Mr. Jenkins, the prin-
cipal, is actively engaged in getting
this rounded into shape. The Christ-
mas number .of the school magazine,
