Class Remarks
Are Book Clues
By The Reading Laboratory
Written for
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
Fiction, including poetry and
plays, and general nonfiction,
including biographies, can be
taken from the library because
they are the kinds of books that
people want to read through
slowly at home in a comfortable
chair. They aren’t books that
people use to check a random
fact quickly. They don’t need to
be available in the library for
everyone to use. So these books
are on the shelves for you to
borrow.
We’ve said that fiction is ar
ranged on the shelves alpha
betically according to author.
Biographies are usually arran
ged together alphabetically ac
cording to the last name of the
person written about. General
books can be found by using the
Dewey Decimal System we dis
cussed in the last chapter.
But why, you suddenly ask,
might you want to read a book
that wasn’t even assigned?
The obvious answer is that
reading is fun; it is like meeting
new people, having new and un
usual experiences, or seeing fa
miliar experiences in a new
light. As a bonus, your ability to
make judgments and to under
stand the world around you will
be improved. Your mind and
curiosity will be stimuated. And
that’s what education is all ab
out.

years ago that English rum was
adulterated with molasses spi

philosophy or religion, for exam
ple — can also help you better
understand the material in a
course you are taking. They pro
vide you with much more infor
mation than a textbook can.
1 They often have a point of view.
They do more than present the
' facts — they interpret them.
Reading to discover a point of
view, to find a generalization
supported by facts, will go far
in turning you into a thinking
student.
Can you take a hint? It’s just
this: whenever one of your te
achers mentions a book in pass
ing, one unfamiliar to you, jot
it down. You can be certain that
it is important for that course,
and that it is on the teacher’s
mind.
As soon as you get a chance,
take it out of the library and
look through it until you can see
why your teacher thought it de
serving of special mention. Take
notes if you wish. Then, in class
or on an exam, slip in an opinion
of your own about what’s in the
book, and your teacher will have
proof positive that you were not
only paying attention but also
\ took some initiative.
So remember, making a hab
! it of borrowing and reading
books from the library that
are related to your courses in
creases your knowledge, stimu
lates your Interest in classwork
and, in general, makes you a
better student.

LUNAR RAINBOW
Occasionally, a rainbow is
formed by the light of the
moon. The feebleness of the
light paints the glowing bow
in very faint colors, which are
difficult to observe. The moon’s
rainbow differs from that of
the sun only in intensity of co
lor.
FIRST MAGNETS
The world’s first magnets
were stones discovered in an
ancient country of Asia Minor,
called Magnesia. The terms
magnet and magnetism come
from Magnesia. The stones
were a type of iron ore called
magnetite.
