    relieve the cramped condition in the teaching suite. A library in any school would seem to be essential, and this should be, not merely a collection of books, but a quiet room with sufficient reading and study tables and good lighting, so that students may use to the best ad¬ vantage the books, magazines, papers, and reference material which are provided. At present there is little incentive on the part of the faculty of the school to assemble such material because of no satisfactory place to make it available. A reception room, large enough to give dances and entertainments in a school with 130 students, is badly needed with some smaller rooms where students may receive their friends in some degree of privacy, at least not in a thoroughfare as at present. Nurse students are young women who need recreational facilities quite as much as other types of students. CARRIE M. HALL, Principal. December 31, 1929.
