Because history and the high-spots
of current events are both to be read
in stamps George J. Ryan President
of the Board of Education of the
City of New York would encourage
school children to collect them. He
stated to the Committee on Arrange
ments that he believes the "National
Stamp Exhibition will do much to
stimulate the Interest of both adoles-
cents and adults in the value and
fascination of stamps."
Mr. Ryan admits further to "a great
admiration for those who have the
patience perseverance and time to
devote t'o collecting stamps. To me
postage stamps reveal not only the
spirit and character of the people of
the country" he says. "At present
the air mail stamps aie particularly
expressive of modern life."
Field of Study
"Stamps are creative of curiosity
and Interest which will carry the col-
lector or student Into broader deep-
er and richer fields of study and ex-
perience. It Is needless for me to
point to the educational value of
stamp collecting particularly in the
fields of geography history and civics
and even in chemistry and art."
The educational advantage of stamp
collecting has been recently recogniz-
ed by the German school system
when stamp collecting was made a
regular part of the entire public
school curriculum.
The Committee on Arrangements
for the Exhibition which Is to be
held at Rockefeller Center February
10 to 18 are now planning to admit
all school children under twelve ac-
companied by their parent's or their
teachers free of charge. Also partly
with school children in mind the ex-
hibition hours have been set at 11 a.
m. to 10:30 p. m. daily with the ex-
ception of Saturdays when the open-
ing hour is 9 a. m.
Farley to Open
Postmaster General James A. Far-
ley will officially open the National
Stamp Exhibition at 0 o'clock Satur-
day morning February 10. Arrange-
ments arc being made for a national
broadcast of the opening Ceremonies.
Government recognition of the Im-
portance of the forthcoming Exhibi-
tion to all the several million stamp
collectors in the country has been
given in the order by the Post Office
Department of a special issue of
"Byrd Little America" stamps. These
new stamps sb: to a sheet in a special
commemorative form will be printed
on the floor of the show by employees
of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. A postal sub-station which
will use a .special cancellation to read
"National Stamp Exhibition Station
Date New York N. Y" will be Installed.

My! how studious the Freshmen

terest that has been taken in this
work but all we ask is that you be
patient with us and bear with us
while we try to find the material.
You can help the librarian by being
patient while she is searching for the
material.

quired the habit of coming through

means YOU; so please if you are not

the library stock. You coming in
causes unnecessary confusion and we
ask that you do not come in without

. . . people know it!
Same thing with a good
cigarette or a good wood-fire.
All you need is a light.
And all you want is a ciga-
rette that keeps tasting right
whether you smoke one or a
dozen.
That's what people like
about Chesterfields. You can
count on them. They're milder
and they taste better.
In two words they satisfy.
That says it.

Girls' Glee Club
to Sing Sunday
Afternoon
The Girls' Glee Club has been hav-
ing its regular meetings with an oc-
casional call meeting for extra prac-
tise. There are several rather diffi-
cult affairs scheduled for the club in
the course of the Spring which will
be well worth attending. The club
will sing one number Sunday after-
noon at the orchestra conceit pro-
gram at which the double tiio and
the boys glee club will also sing. One
of the most difficult and impressive
things attempted by this organization
is the cantata to be given Easter at
the Fiist Presbyterian Church. Then
in May the year's work will be round-
ed off with a progiam of Victor Her-
bert music to be given with the or-
chestra. The nlrls have been working hard
all year and will have to work even
harder to prepare these programs.
They will appreciate your interest
and support of their work.

One of the richest gardens in the
world is found in Mesopotamia a gar-
den between the Euphrates and the
Tigrds Rivers. This garden has been
enriched throughout the centuries by

Davis said the garden of tho human
heart is much richer than this.
