FOR THE SCHOOLS. A ConMnim of Opinion o& the 8ub- ject of Librtrin WUTTEH BY J. FBASK FOOBHE. Shoald Read by All Parente. vite the,pupils of their rooms the same as freely as if they belonged to the school, the privilege of taking the same home helng extended In many instances. With a very few ex ceptions there was not a home “repre sented wltere there were not some good books for them to read, but In this miscellaneous list some book or books that were not on the- table at home. The result* was that the same were freely used. The teachers all found Hhat the interest that the pu pils took in this reading increased the interest in their other work, and they therefore, readily cooperated in the matter of getting them more Interest ed in reading the books that had been placed at. their disposal. The next step was to get books for the library Guardians or Other* Who Are _r Interested In the Wei- ', fare of Children. The following is the second part of an article written by Mr. J. Frank Fooalie, editor of the Winnsboro -News and Herald, for The State. fob south cabo UN a sOiioouh, u*/or* this was undertaken a nice With an increased interest in the lease was secured by means of stnal study of the history of South Carolina contributions on the part of a dozen there ought to be a demand for inore [ interested friends. The funds for the books on the subject; and in the fol- lirst purchase were secured by private lowing suggest ons there is opportuni-, contrttmtem.s which were supplement ty to get the best that there is. With- »h1 by a donation for a similar amount out a single except ion t lie works of j by the Mt, Zion society. Since then Simms and the four volumes of lien, j u part-of the money that lias been McCrady’s history were most heartily j used for purchasing the books that suggested. Next in favor to t hese j have been added has been raised by came “Horseshoe Robinson” and the •—irf Mxrim ” K r Weems. Tim- f6a T s poems, Hayne’s poems, “In Old St. Stepliens” were ment ioned, more than one time each. Others that Were mentioned were; '“Shadows of tiie War,” (published anonymously!. “The Earth Trembled,” “Story of < >lcl Fort Sumter,” Craddock: “Cateechee of Keowee,” “Mrs. Meaius' Story of South Carolina.”. Dr. Bold ridge-in this connection suggested a book that ought to be within the reach of every teacher in the State. After mentioning several of the books already mentioned uimvc, he adds the following: “And in some respects better still the telling , of thrilling incidents in South Carolina 'history by the teacher. There are many such.” Mr. McCants also makes a sugges tion that the lives of prominent South Carolinians be rend and adds; “I nstead of this we have them reading sketch es of Franklin, the first man to set up the dollar its the great American god.” STICK TO l*OOlCfC~" regard -t-w lh**-ad usabiiiLy_uI^.uii scribing a tmrt of anv in»rary funds tiiat' might lie in hand for current pe riodicals and magazines the unanimity of opinion was against this in a school - as limited hi its resources as the one for which information was liettig ask ed. Tiie stand taken by almost everyone was that w here the Iniids are small decidedly lielter results can In- had by the expenditure of tiie money for books. Where tiie library is nh ready well esfablisiied an<l wheje the resources will permit it is recom mended tiiat.tliere be an effort in t hi* ~ dixwodon. ! The writer of tliis article trusts that iie may be pardoned for adding to tiie suggestions contained in t iie above answers some of his own person- *: al experience in the matter of estali- lishing andcondiictiugu lilmiry. A few years ago lie took ciiarge of a school of about 80 pupils and about 40 of these were in the classes above, tiie usual fourth year. The school building Uas fairly good for tiie community ami | the surromidings were about as favor able as those of most count ry towns. ^The * furnltlili!^ in the “blinding . though home made, was very good. Tiie one thing taking In the opinion of the new teacher was a sehom lib rary. In much of their work -tin pupils from tiie very start showed many commendable characteristics bat it was very evident that their _ r l- reading liad been seriously neglected. To remedy tills defect was the one -work that lie set out to do. The first step in this direction waslidT ah effort to purchase some books, for in 4di opinion this would not have l>een ad- -.visable till some interest had Irumi * aroused on tiie part of the-children in this new feature. Fortunately • in- had in ids possession finite ^collection of books that were attR<tide-fr>r -the- children to read. Tltese he carried, to the school room with him, laid them on his desk, and invited tiie children to read them whenever they felt like \ K doing. From tiie very tirst they d accepted this invitation, and found this a most valuable way to nut in much of the time that would iiuve otherwise been spent -in idleness. Special attention was also given to reading them such selections as it was thought would be stimulating in arousing in them an interest in thyir reading, in visits to the various homes books that were therein noted, and from their owners a loan of tiie same was asKWf There were a good number of real suitable books to lie Obtained in this way, which together with those to which tiie pupils laid al- » ready been given access, madew very* good little circulating library. All the while the matter of their reading means of entertainments. The practical wofKirig«fHdslibrary has been most satisfactory-to teacliers, pupils and patrons. - It might be add ed here that one thing that has add ed to the successful conduct thereof has been the fact'that each pupil lias alktlie wliilu been provided with list of tiie Ixioks therein. This list gives each one an opportunity to l>e- cotne acquainted w ith the bookskulhe library, and as is suggested by one of tiie number whose answers arertjuoted above and mere opportunity of looking iilHin aiid learning the names of the best books is oftentimes of* itself.« st Inniliis Jo leading, in tiie distribu tion of tlie txKiks the plan of having each child make Out a list of the three numbers' that were perferred and dianding tiie same in the day before the ixxiks w'ere let out.tups been fol lowed; and there is no thought at this time of changing this method that has proven so successful. A special advan tage that tIris method has is that it not only assists the child in gett ing ac- q wain tad with the txxvkt of t 4m* t ttim-rr. but it also makes it possible for tiie cliUdmr to luake a.jnore yintelligent Symparlsun uf‘tiie txxiks that iiavc lx*en read. And with ait due ^respect to all the teacliers of the whole teach ing profession the one that is likely to have, the gteatest influence upon this or (hat child as to tiie, books read is the\pUpii who sltsiieAt bj\ Tiie teacli- er’s greatest oppbrtunUy, tiierefore, i - iii getting tiie ttist pupils started right in this matter of reading. There is possibly no other phase of school w ork in which the cooperation of the ^»arentsc;rn lx> so easily secured. , Without any feeling egot isnr wasempliasized in evejj way possitile Nor were the efforts iii^tliis dim-tion witiiout results, as is "evidenced by the 1 fact that within six months more than '*** ■ p 2©0'Vblumes were read. At the dosr- of tiie school an entertainment was given for securing funds with which to purchase a library, and a nice little . sum was secured. Tiie Ixxiks, at»«it ; ' 40'in number, were soon purciiased. • *-In tiie light of tiie six years that whatever the, writer from t4ie experi ences mentioned above most heartily endorses all that -has been said iii re gard to arousing the interest of file children as (lie first step that is neces sary in establishing a library and-tlmt the successful maintenance t hereof de pends very largely upon the teacher.

Was it possible to con struct a vessel having the reputed c a ' pacity of the famous craft? What were its dimensions anyway? These questions have buzzed in the head of more than one “old subscriber” and “constant reader.” The editor of the Syren aud Shipping lias undertaken to answer these questions audjaliar for all time any doubts as to whether the writer of the story of the deluge was ignorant of the subject of .ship building. “Within the last ten years,” he says, “the general dimensions of the ark have been closely followed by Cargo steamship builders for deep sea and the Atnelrcan Great Lakes ser vice. According to the blble, the ark was 480 feet long, 80 feet wide and 48 feet deep. Her tonnage was 11,413, COUNTY LEAGUES. ■ Tiie by daws provide tiie. following regulations for the county leagues: 1.
