Wednesday, April 25, - - 1900 TEE MT. ZIOX SCHOOL LIBK1KT. Mr. Editor: A few weeks ago your paper contained a short notiae about the library of the school. We have thottght it would prove interesting to your readers to know more about the reading: that is being done by the pupils. In the first place, we think the thanks of the whole community?especially of all the school children?are due to the twenty-five generous citizens of the town who subscribed one dollar each to raise a fand of twenty-five dollar* *o as to secure that amount by appropriation from the Mt. Zion Society. Ia this nay funds were raised last summer to add to the valuable collection of books already on hand, consisting of camplete s^ts of Dickens, Thackeray, Scott and Warner's Works ?library of best literature together with many older books handed down from the old library. In expending the money thus raised, the committee thought it wise to purchase such beek3 sis would readily appeal to the children, and thus create an interest in the library. The books selecttd, therefore, very largely represented .the most popular of children's classics at the present time. And I might say here that in no one respect are there to be seen greater changes in fho children of one generation as com pare with those of another than in the matter of their reading. So if a list of the books were here given many of the most popular books of the previous generations would be omitted. As to whether this action were wise or not, results speak louder than words. So far, duriag the present scholastic year, the number of volumes raad by the children of the school approximates one thousand volumes. At no time have the number of books?new books, we mean?been equal io the demands for them. Many times the requests for books have been at least donbie the supply cf those that were at the time in the library. The number of books taken out each week has been about thirty-five, ani the promptness with which they have been renewed orretmraed from time to time Has baen one of the aaost pleasing features in connection with the children's readiag. The aare of the boots also deserves praiseworthy notice,.for tip to this time'not a single book has been lost, ior do the books show nearly so mnch abuse as one might naturally expect frost such canstaat and continued use. No record haa been kept of the number of the books taken out that were reod. But we have the very best evidenee for concluding ss^c^-^iastesces aJ>oo&.*aslaken out aad not read are very fewiaaeed. On the other hand, we ka?w that in many instances a book taken oat by one hag been read by variaus members of the family before being re. 'OT<\ o?io en?a TOO Tennis hn .IUIUCUi II c at? guiv mv fi making a perfectly #onservative estimate were we to say that the number of books read is fully equal to the number takes out. It might also be of interest to mentioa a tew b?oks that hare proven most popular. In the very forefront - is to be.'placed Two Little Confed rates, and along with it Nights with Uncle Rtmus. The Alcott and Henty books, Littie Lord Faantleroy, Hars Brinker, Erie, and Childrei of the Cold have also proven very pepnlar. And it is a pleasure to note tbat Eobiesen Crusoe and Tom Browa's School Days still find a warm place with the read ehild. There is also another series which, though not popular at first, has constantly grown in favor till now the books in it are read almost as frequently ae any in the library. We refer to the Abbott biographical" books, of which the library has the lives of Darius, Alexander, Cyrus, Hannibal, Josephine aid Elizabeth. This is one instance to show that there has been an improvement in the taste for reading that i? both instructive and entertaining. Jrom the abore report it can readily be seen that there is an i caper alive duty upon the commuaity to make further provision for the readiag of the children. While the interest of the pupils has not decreased ia the SilgOtQSE, T8t It IK ukuubkibj; >ai oivi* difficult to supply their refnesls for books, io that many of them have already read a greater portion of what are now in the library. Especially is this tree of the children of the upper and lower grades, who even now hare but few books especially suited to them ai compared witb those well adapted to the children of the intermediate grades. To supply this need funds mast be raited, and (hi* should be done at an early day. We are sure that the Mt. Zion Seciety will again duplicate a gift of twenty-fire dollars from public-spirited citizens. This, however, gives ODly fifty dellars, i though at least one hundred dollars is ' yearly needed to make tke library. equal to its increased demands. Sup; posing, therefore, that the fifty dollars can be raised in the same war as last "year, it seems to as that the additional fifty could be raised by entertainments from time to time, and we Might add hero that it i? proposed by members 01 the committee to eiieavor to arrange for raising this amount is the summer k when ?ur college boys and girls are at \iT~~- home. This last mentioned tact ia regard ' v to vacadon suggests that there is a further imperative duty upon the community to make provision not only for the reading: of the children at sehool, but also tor those who are here only during the summer' months. Nothing could be of more value in I keeping the^e in touch with their coll8ge\work than a suitable list of books and periodicals from which selections ; coaliVbemade. It would *eem. there- ' fore, to us that the time is now ripe for the\committee to invest at least a j small portion of its funds in some of the poplar magazines for a short1] period daring the summer months. Not only would a reading room thas established prove of interest and profit in a literary way, bat it woald afford ample opportunity for bringing the young people of tbs town into a more constant association?a feature that is werth every dollar that might be expended to secure it. Possibly there i? no better way of seeing what progress we ourselves are making than by comparing our efforts with those about us. Let us therefore see what is "Wimsboro doing as compared with her sister town* to provide for the better reading of her roung and old people too. Marion, Union, Darlington, Chester, Pelzer, Piedmont and several other towns have within the last three yerrs oeen proviaea wun public libraries. ABd iD the matter of school libraries Darlington ha3 forged ahead of every towrr in the State in providing 3,000 volumes for the white school aed about 5CO for the ne^ro school. Nor has this b?ea done at one time, bat by constant purchases from year to year. Chester, Bock Hill, Bamberg, Georgetown, Anderson, and naaibers of other towns, both large aed smaller than this town that has an tdncational record to be highly proud of, have far outstretched it in the popularizing of learning through what Carlyls calls the university of the future?a collection of boots. The leBgtk of which we hare 'drawn out th;sintended short note is only dne to our intense interest in the reading of others?an interest that has been above all others with us from the time we were tea years old when a most valuable book was placed in oar bauds by an interested friend with the request to read it.

Last Saturday afternoon the members of Curry society gave on the lawn of Mr. ;Witherspoon's residence an "Easter egg hunt." Ten cents gave one the privilege of hunting, and mnch fun was realized in "trying to find the most eggs." The prize for finding the ' largest number was awarded to Miss Reaves, one of our students, who .found altoj*etherv5thirty-8even beautifully dyed eggs. Refreshments in the 'form of ice cream, cake, and 6herbert were served, and many "spare dimes" were brought forth. Quite a nice little sum was made and no one will deny that a great deal of fma was enjoyed. Easter Sunday Ike girls came out in their spring uniforms; there was an unusual attendanae upon church. There were special Easter services in the Episcopal Church and they were largely attended. Since our last entertainment oftfre Star Course we have had no public entertainment in the auditorium.

Farmers were progressing very nicely with their work till the recent rains. which will retard them greatly, . that is, as to early planting; but the rain is very beneficial, and where lands were broken and ready for bedding, will aid them even m?re than it would if the crops had been planted before, as they will be surer of good stands of cotton and other seeds (hat are planted ?n fresh plowed lands after good seasons, enabling them also fl to destroy a large amount -of grass j seeds. Gardens, though backward; are progressing very well.
