Optimist Club members delivered dictionaries last week to all Southern Boone County third-grade students.

Knowledge is power, and West Plains R-7 third graders now have access to more of it even while outside the classroom, thanks to a dictionary for each of them donated by West Plains Elks Lodge No.

A dictionary can be a very interesting book. Especially, the `Gazetteer` given to every third grader at the Elsberry Schools.
