Children's Book
Week Exhibition
A new exibition recently set up in
the General Library consists of a
collection of children's books selected
by Miss Ella M. Hymans, curator of
rare books, in anticipation of Child-
ren's Book Week to be celebrated in;
November.
The books on exhibition are selected
as outstanding because they represent
high quality printing and illustrating
in the juvenile field. They are divided
into seven categories, consisting of
books ranging from kindergarten to
junior high school interest.
Fiction for boys and girls, books
of foreign background, poetry, books
of American background, folklore and
legends, nursery rhymes and picture
books, and books on animals are in-
cluded.
The books were taken from the Li-
brary Extension Service group for
children in Michigan communities of
less than 2,000 population.

Best Study Methods
Translating every lesson into one's
own words was stressed as the most
effective way to learn material by
Prof. Francis D. Curtis, of the School
of Education, in the second How To
Study lecture, held for freshmen at
7:15 p.m. last night in Room 25 Angell
IHall.
A preliminary skimming through of
material, then a serious reading and
finally resume of the thought of the
passage were recommended by Prof.
Curtis as the three easiest steps in
tackling an assignment.
To improve studying methods,
Prof. Curtis also suggested that the
student should work under a time
budget and that he should convince
himself of his responsibility for every
part of the lesson. Study periods of
less than 15 minutes were described
as ineffective, but the audience was
cautioned against studying for too
long at a time.
