Library Started
Last year Mrs. Bigley
started a tape recording li

she had traded with schools
all over the United States.
Mrs. Bigley said, "Children
can't learn out of a book how
people in other parts of the
United States talk and what
they are doing in school, so
we put this information on a
tape and send it somewhere
in the United States and they
send us back a recording of
their children." Also included
on the tapes are plays, songs
or. events of the particular
school or community.
"The children enjoy hear
ing the regional accents,"
commented Mrs. Bigley. She
hopes that next year the var
ious schools will be able to
"carry on conversations" by
the tape recording method.
