L .LBR·A.RY. Ther e ha,·e been ma ny changes in the li brary syst em during the last two terms. Instead of the managem ent being in t he hands of \' I and \'. forms. there is now a definite committee- to be known as tlu• "Rean la nd ?.l e moria l Library Commitlee"-cons is tin g of P(e\'eu membe r s, ?.liss Li l ley. Miss Lyons, a nd r e presentatives from \'I.. \' ., and IV. forms. T he committee was forme d, pri maril y . in connection with t he manageme nt of any moneys which may come to the school as a res ult of Miss Beanla nd's gen e rous bequ est, and has a lso tal•c n c ha rge of t h e ex is ti ng li b rary. A new card system of r eco rding w hat boo ks are tal;en out has bee n commenced , and h a~ so far prove d sati s factory: an d n umbers of ne w books have been. a nd are to be, bought. The running or a li brary n ecess itates a large r amount of Wl)l' k. an d the schoo l s ho u ld take more a dva ntage of t he o ppo rtunities it has of reading good boo lis. The number of g i r ls who have cards is very s ma ll in c·omparison with t he numbe r o f girls in lhe seh ool: it is atrange that more do no t be lo ng, as eve r y girl in the sehool pays library tees with h e r ~ports money. Also, once again we wou ld rt•mind the school that. on leaving, it is customary to JHesen t a hor k to the lihntry From all till' gir ls who le ft la!!l yea r . abou t a dozen books have bcPn rPeeived. rt is to be hoped th a t those who leave this year will set a better {'Xample to t hose who follow I hem.
