MAIN STREET “ty Products & Services Precision IMAGE = STUDY OUTLINE SERIES MEXICO PANAMA Many clubs are convinced of the advantage of studying one subject thruout the season, and for this work a carefully prepared program is needed. Local or state committees and state library commissions have spent time in preparing _outlines which would be suitable for use else- - where if they could be made available by print- ing. It is proposed in this series to centralize such work and to conserve the effort spent in making a good outline by putting it in shape for distribution. - Clubs themselves by an actual test- ing of the outlines thus offered will be able to offer suggestions and criticism which will lead to a revision of form. The Study Outline and Its Use The series will include outlines on art, litera- ture, travel, biography, history and present day questions. The outlines vary in length. If more topics are given than the number of club meetings for the season, those topics that are more difficult to handle or on which there is less available material, may be dropped. If there are fewer topics than the scheduled meetings, certain topics may be divided. Lists of books are appended to some of the outlines. It would be well for the club to own some of the recommended books. Others can be obtained either from the local public library or from the state traveling library. When very full lists are given it is not necessary for any club to use all the books, but the longer list leaves more room for choice, The best material on some subjects may be found, not in books, but in magazines. These may be looked up under the subject in the Readers’ Guide to Periodical Literature. Maga- zine articles and illustrated material niay be ob- tained from the Wilson Package Library. For terms see fourth page of cover. A list of the stidy outlines now in print will be found on page three of this cover. For later additions to the list write to publisher.
