Several months ago it was necessary for me to import a large table into my English classroom. After the original use for the table had passed, I searched for the janitor to ask him to remove it. Suddenly some eighth sense whispered, "Why not keep it for exhibition purposes?" That night after school I arranged an exhibit of the booklets distributed by the World's Work dealing with the lives and books of many famous modern authors. Through the next few days many pupils stopped for a minute or so to hurriedly glance at the booklets. The pictures seemed to draw forth the most comment. "Say, he's not bad looking." "I wish Galsworthy had some hair." "I know someone who has a friend who heard Amy Lowell speak once."
