EXTENSIVE READING
! BY CATHERINE BERRYMAN, A.H.S., '3B
" All English classes at Athens High Sehool have recently or
l ganized Reading Clubs. Two of the uhjec"n\'fds of these clubs are
| to encourage student participation in the direction of classroom
[ activities and to stimulate a greater interest in the reading of
{ worthwhile books, bota class and modern.
| Emphasis in these groups is on extensgive reading—reading fro!n
l various flelds of writing—rather than on intensve reading from a
few auhor or from a few types of literature.
{ Extensive reading inciudes more than fiction, It embraces
l drama, poetry, biography, essay, travel, adventure, scientific and
' historical writings, and other types of writing,
In reading from “Literature and Life” in the library this week
§ we learned that Dr. Edwin Greenlaw said, “Literature is a means
l of recreating the past and creating the present and the future,”
I! Yes, through the reading of good books we learn the struggles
i and the growth of nations; we become familiar with living condi
! tions throughout the world; and we learn the customs, the ideals,
i and the characters of people. We get a better understanding of
’ what it means to be a good citizen,
{ Reading helps us to develop the power of discrimination, and we
" need to be able to judge well.
| Reading increases our vecabulary., Our vocabulary, we are told
' by authorities, determines to a great extent the degree of success
‘ we shall attain in doing advanced studying,
Reading gives us new and varied and rich experiences, It is a
I source of entertianment. To many of us reading is a great pleas
| ure. It is one of the phases of school life that brings particular
. enjoyment.,
It is true that some pupils in our school do not like to read.
Some consider reading a supplementary book in English a burden.
We have known, however, of pupils with such views changing their
attitude. After hearing classmaies talk interestingly of the books
they had read, many non-lovers of books have had their interest
stirred and have become readers of books.
John Milton said, “A good book is the precious life blood of a
master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpase to a life he
vond life.” o
Some one else has said, “The essence of a civilization, the con
tribution it has made to the business of human living, is preserved
in books.” e
Schoolmates, come, let us read éxtensively! 2

Talk Friday By Abit Ni
18 riday by it INix;
Miss Ginn Named Club Head
BY CATHERINE BERYMAN, ’3B
“If the schools of this country
im‘e to be carried on; if businesg lsl
to succeed; if social life is to ad
vance; if government problems are“
'to be solved, if the future is to
be what it should be, you young
people must acquire scholarship.
Scholarship can be acquired in no
‘other way than by work—a steady,
continuous, and everyday applica
tion to study.”
Thege were the closing words of
Mr: Abit Nix, speaking 'on the
“True Value of Scholarship,” to
‘the gtudent body and faculty of
‘Atheng High school in-:Mell audi
torium, Friday,
‘ “One cannot develop in scholar
,#hip unless he knows himself-—his
' physieal, hils mental, and hig spiri
itual abilities,” stated the speaker,
“To succeed in any field one must
Efimt discover his weak ang his
strong points, and then add some
thing to his strength and take away
'something from his weakness.”
Mr. Nix urged the students, if
‘they would succeed in business and
in social life, to know the people
with whom they live. He further
stated that no one can be a real
scholar in any field who leaves out
of his makeup a correct understand
ing of the conditions of the com
‘munity, the state, and the nation
in which he lives.
Scholarship also demands that
one know accurately the back
ground against which present con
ditions are portreyed, that one
know the weaknesses in the pres
ent set up and that one seek the
solutions to existing problems.
In beginning hig talk Mr. Nix
gave the following interesting facts:
There are two hundred and thirty
thousand elementary schools in
ithe Uniteq States; thirty: thous
land high schools; one thousand
lcolleges; five hundred training
schools; 375 schoolg for the deaf
and the blind; and five hundred
businesg schools—a total of some
threes hundred thousand. ?
Thirty-three million people are
in school in this country-—one out
of every four, Over one million
teachers and other staff members
are employed to guide the schools,
IThe United States spends three and
one-half million dollars annually
110 run her schools and has eleven
|and one-half million dollars invest
|eded in school property.
