“A. K.” There is something very human about a letter when it solicits your personal help and suggestions. To quote from several of the thousands received will not only show the need for the package library, because of the scarcity of material in small towns and the country, but also give an insight into the mind of the people themselves. “Barton, N. D., October 23, 1911. “Gentlemen:—Would you kindly send a copy of the following plays: Corner Store, The Deestrick Skule, Country Romance, Pa’s Picnic, A Rival by Request, School for Scandal, Tempest in a Tea-pot, Which is Which. “I wish to get up an entertainment in my school and wish you could help me select a play which would not require too much room and too many actors. Will return the ones I do not use immediately. Any favor which you may render will be greatly appreciated. “Very respectfully, “E. S.” “Gilby, N. D., Jan. 18, 1912. “Dear Sir:— “Will you please forward your list of amateur plays. We are about to stage the annual H. S. play, and find it rather difficult to select a play not too sentimental in characters. We would like one for 5-7 boys and 5-8 girls. Our hall is small with cramped stage room, and the scene must be quite simple. If you have any suggestions to offer or any sample play to forward for examination, will you kindly let us know as soon as possible. “Yours very truly, “E. F. L.” Ross, N. D., Jan. 22, 1913. “Dear Sir:— “Enclosed find plays, also stamps to cover mailing expenses. “Please send me the following amateur plays: Exerbition of District Skule, Mock Trial, Scrap of Paper, Sugar and Cream. Please send also the following as listed under package libraries: Manual Training, School House as an Art Gallery, School House as a Social Center, Fireless Cooker. “Yours truly, “M. C.” “Backoo, N. D., Jan. 24, 1914. “Dear Sir:— “I rec’d the packet of information on Country Life and will return it after our next meeting the 27th. Can you send me two or three dialogues suitable for a Literary Society in a rural district. We have 6 or 8 young ladies that might take part but very few young men. And will you suggest a few subjects for debate of interest and benefit to a country community. “Yours truly, “J. B. P.” “Austin, N. D., Feb. 11, 1914.
