PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARI[S
There ar Now over 800 and Probab
ly WiM be 1,000 by the End of the
Year.
"Since the public school library
law was enacted about two years and
a half ago, nearly 800 libraries have
been established in places where none
had eKisted before,' said State Super
intendent 0. B. Martin. "Many of
those have enlarged and improved.
The number should reach the 1,000
mark by the close of this year. When
a library is once established, it should
be increased every year. The act
was amended to provide for this very
thing, and also to provide for a suit
able book case for the Ebraries.
"The case adopted by the State
board of Education is a bargain for
$10. I have had many inqniries as
to whether the library books and book
cases can be bought Iv individual
citizens at the contract price. I am
very glad that such is the case. I
am also very much gratified that the
libaries in the schools have improved
the libraries in the homes.
rAis community in this state can
raise $10 in order to secure $30 worth
of good books, and an elegant book
case. I have heard of many instances
where the teachers appointed com
mittees of pupils and they raised
more than the required amounts in a
few hours. Again I have heard of
the money being raised by meais of
entertainments, such as dialogues.
readin-s, eharades, etc.
"It is very easy to get patrons to
eontribute refreshments and provis
ious, and $10 can be raised at one
time by means of a dinner or supper.
There are numerous othe ways which
have been devised by earnest. pro
gressive teachers. Let us continue
this good work with renewed energy
during the coming session.
"Before ordering a library, the li
brary act should b6 carefully read.
Whin the money is collected in the
community. the trustees should de
posit it with the connty treasurer,
take his receipt. and dyaw a warrant
in favor of the county superintendent
for $10 who will also deposit with the
treasurer. The county board will ap
propriate $10 to be used for the pur
chase of the book case. The county
superintendent will then notify the
State superintendent in regular form.
The State superintendent will then
forward the State's share of the ap
propriation.
"The teacher should always be con
sulted when the books are being se
lected. The Educational Publishing
company of Atlanta, Ga., having sub
mitted the lowest bids, the contract
for furnishing all of the books on
the library list was awarded to them.
-It is illegal, therefore, to buy these
books from other houses and agents.
This company is under bond and con
tract.
"In ordering books it is a good
plan to get two of these pamphlets.
Cheek off the books .ordered oii both
pamphlets. Keep one and send the
other to the Educational Publishing
company."'

Havana, By Cable.-William H.
Taft, as provisional Governor of
Cuba, and Secretary of War of the
United States, Tuesday night issued
an order to General Frederick Fun
ston, outlining the duties of the Am
erican forces in Cuba.
The officers of marines stationed
in various localities are advised that
they are not expected to take part
in an active way in the suppresion
of disorder unless extreme emergency
?rises in which it is absolutely nec
essary for them to protect life and
property. The duties of the marines
are generally limited to tendering
their good offices between the con
Eicting elements and the prevention
>f that friction which, in the high
tate of tension between the political
parties, is inevitable during the pres
3nt crisis. The order says that it is
expected that the presence of the
marines in the community will create
;uch a sense of security that the rural
uards and the police will be able
to suppress and disorder which mani
rsts itself. The order concludes as
Collows:
To Preserve the Amenities.
"The President of the United
States deems it of the utmost impor
Lance that the American forces do
ot engage in conflicts with Cubans,
ut that disorders by Cubans be sup
pressed by Cubans. It is also ex
ected that the officers and men, both
>f the army and the marine corps,
will exert every effort to show all
yourtesies possible to Cubans. of a
parties, and avoid in any way injur
ng their sensibility."
The order makes it plain that the
marines will remain in the island, for
-he present, as ar. adjunct to the in
rantry.
Governor Taft said that practically
ll the American warships now in
,uban waters would soon be with
irawn.
An amnesty proclamation of the
nost sweeping character possible,
pardoning every serious crime which
as been an outhgrowth of the recent
revolution and its causess, will be
issued by Governor Taft. Complete
pardon is granted to all persons mn
olved in the killing of Con

REAL ESTATE VALUES INCREASE -
Though Rural Free Delivery Has
Cost an Enormous Sum the Ex
penditure in Puly Justified-Facts
and Figures About the Service.
Washington, Special.-At the an- a
nual convention of the National Ru
al Letter Carriers' Association which a
was held at Peroria, Ill., a letter was p
submitted from P. V. DeGraw, Fourth
Asistant Postmaster General, regret- G
ting his inability to attend the con
vention. The communication recites
the status of rural delivery through- ,
out the country, and instances itz h
many advantages to farmers, not only a
from the viewpoint of the accomoda- e
tion, but from its great educational
influence, the improvement of roads, b
and the palpable increase in the value
of lands, and points out how by co
operation with the Department, rural
carriers may aid in minimizing the P
many vexatious problems which sur- 0
round the establishment and mainten- t
ance of the service. The letter, in
part, is as follows: t a
"It is costing the government over t)
$2 a year for each of the 13.500,000 n
persons now receiving the service, but 12
there is no doubt that the expendi
ture is fully justified by the results p
obtained. It is generally conceded 0
that rural delivery of mail has been E
a leading factor in the great increase
in the value of farm lands and rural s
real estate in all parts of the country. c
Some remarkable reports of increased 3
land values have been received and in
nearly every case the advance is at
tributed to the beneficial effect of
rural delivery. C
"The amount of money appropriat
ed by Congress for the rural delivery 0
service for the current fiscal year is G
$2S,200,000, for the year ended June
30, last, it was $25,S28,300, an in
crease of more than $4,700,000 over
the previous. year, when it was $21,- 1
116,600, which in turn was an in- e
crease of $8,000,000 over the fiscal w
year 1903-04. In the twelve months v
from July 1, 1905, to July 1. ,1906, 3,
713 rural routes were established, e
against 7,439 in the previous fiscal d
year, anc 91 routes were discontinued. r
"The number of routes in opera- e
tion September 1, 1906, was 35,666, b
and up to that date 53,961 petitions e
for the service had been received, a
upon which - there were 14,936 ad- t1
verse reports, and there were 2,773 e
pending. t.
"As to the patronage of a ioute, s
it has been considered that an av- n
erage route should handle -three tl
thousand pieces of mail per month. t:
"Prior to August 1901 the use of b
approved boxes in the rural delivery 1
service was not required, and some~ n
of the receptacles erected such as c
oil and powder cans, cracker and L<
cigar boxes, stove-pipes, and even tV
bootlegs were not only unsafe and un
suitable for the purpose but also. a n,
reproach to the service. It was be- F
cause of numerous complaints to the i
government against these urifit re- t:
ceptacles that the present regulations
were promulgated'
"The subject of good roads in con
nection with rural mail service is an
important one. The indifference of
some communities to the condition of E
roads as disclosed by inspections of P'
the rural routes, has caused renewed t
efforts on the part of the Department ~
to create such increased interest in ~
the improvement of highways that the h
work of extending the rural delivery
service throughout the country can be 5
sa.tisfactorialy completed.
"Daring the .fiscal year ending S
June 30, 1905, there were 4,558 rural
carrier examinations hela under the o
direction of' the Civil Service Commnis- a
sion, in which there were 30,333 com
petitors. Ten thonsund, six hundred
and twenty-seven appointments were t
made as a result of these examina- '~
tions, 7,489 of which were to fill po
sitions on routes newly created. t<
There were only 214 removals for
