Barrington records are now kept in an upâ€"toâ€"date loose leaf book, a very efficient descendant of the first townbook, an oldâ€"fashioned volume which served from 1860 to 1898. The original town minute book is preserved as a relic. In it is realâ€" ly the story of the beginning of Barrington, the great growth of the community from 1860 to the turn of the century.

In announcâ€" ing this number of early reservaâ€" tions for the evening, Mrs. Fred E. Law, chairman of the club‘s social committee, expressed the hope that others who wish to attend the dance would soon make definite arrangeâ€" ments to do so, for attendance is necessarily limited. She might have added that no one will want to be lame from cleaning or digging on the twentieth since music for the dance will again be provided by Pierson Thal‘s orchestra which reâ€" ceived such enthusiastic comment at the February dance and which is now playing weekly at the Blackâ€" hawk Grill in Chicago. All reservations for the evening should be made with Mrs. Law, H. P. 2088.

Those who can use it to learn from books, as well as be amused by them, have access to the stores of knowledge . . . Most of us have the problem of getting the education which schools and colâ€" leges failed to give us. Education is still open to all of us . . . if we know how to read." How to Read a Book; The Art of Getting a Liberal Education, by Mortimer J. Adler. How to Read a Book points out no short cuts, but as a book about how to play tennis is a practical guide to the playing of tennis, so this is a practical guide to the readâ€" ing of books. The first section discusses readâ€" ing in relation to learning and thinking; the second part tells us how and what to read. The third deals with the basic reason for literâ€" acy, discusses the obligations of the citizens of a democracy, and exâ€" pounds the thesis that free minds make free men. In an appendix Dr. Adler lists the great books of all time, ranging from the early Greek and Latin writers through the Middle Ages to Einstein and Dewey among the livâ€" ing. This list is based on similar ones used at the University of Chiâ€" cago, at Columbia college, at St. John‘s college and elsewhere. The man who made time stand still for 60 years.
