THE NEW AM NP&M8M TM T d -BY wS AN lERAL TzEEmu.IN AMT "as Year. - ." st Meaths. - - ?.:" WINNSBORO, 2. Thursday, April 19, - - 1900 THE MT. ZION S$HOOL LIBRARY. tr. Editor: A few weeks ago your paper contained a short notice about the library of the school. We have thought it would prove interesting to your readerr to know more about the reading that is b. ing done by the pupils. In the first place, we think the thanks of the whole coninunity-especially of all the school children-are duo to the twenty-five generous citizens of the town who subscribed one dollar each to raise a fund of twenty-five dollars so as to secure that amount by appropriation from the Mt. Zion 5o ciety. In this way funds were raised last summer to add to the valuable collection of books already on hand, consisting of camplete sets of Dickens, Tu;ckeray, Soo:t 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 pur chase such beeks as would readily appeal to the children, and thus create an interest in the library. The books selected, therefore, very lrrgely repre sented the most papalar of children's classics at the present time. And I might say here that in no one respect are there to be seen greater ehanges in the 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 previ ous generations would be omitted. As to whether this action were wise or not, results speak louder than words. So far, during the present scholastic year, the number of volumes read by the children of the school approxi mates one thousand volumes. At no time have the number of books-new books, we mean-been equal to the demands for them. Many times the requestB for books have been at least double the supply of those that were at the time in the library. The number of books take.a out each week has been about thirty-five, and the promptness with whieh they hare been renews,d or ret rued from- tme; to time hi' e of the .1 'pleasin reading. T e care o ook deserves praiseworthy no ice, for up to this time not a single'aook has been lost, r.or do the books show nearly so much abuse as one taight natarally expect from such constant and eon tinned use. No record has been kept of the number of the books taken out that were reod. But we hate the very best evidence for concluding that the instances where a book was taken out and not read are very few indeed, On the other hand, we know that in many instances a book taken out by one has been read by various mem bers of the family before being re. turned. We are sure we would be making a perfectly conservative esti mate were we to say that the number of books read is fully equal to the number taken out. It might also be of interest to men - tion a few beoks that have proven most popular. In the very forefront is to be,'placed Two Little Cenfed - rates, and along with it Nights with Uncle Remus. The Alcott and Henty books, Little Lord Faura:ierwv, Hans Brinker, Erie, and Chi..irs of the Cold have also proven very popular. - And it is a pleasure to note that Rob inson Crusoe and Tom Brown's School Days still find a warm place with the read child. There is also another series which, though not popular at first, has con stantly grown in favor till now the books in it are read almost as fre quently as any in the library. We refer to the Abbott biographical books, of which the library has the lives of Darius, Alexander, Cyrus, Hannibal, Josephine and Elizabeth. Tbis is one instance to show that there has been an improvement in the taste for read ing that is both instructive and enter taining. From the above report it can readily be seen that there is an imperative duty upon the community to make farther prevision for the reading of the children. While the interest of the pupils has not decreased in the slightest, yet it is becoming far more difficult to supply their requesls for books, in that many of them have already read a greater pertion of what are now in the library. Especially is' this true of the children of the upper i and lower grade., who even now have 1 but few books especially suited to them as compared with those well: adaipted to the children of the inter mediate grades. To supply this need funds must be raised, and this should be done at an early day. We are sure that the Mt. Zion Society will again I dnplicate a gitt of t wenty-five dollars S from public-spirited citizens. This, I however, gives only fifty dellars, though at least one hundred dollars is yearly needed to make the library equal to its increased demands. Sup posing, therefore, that the afty dollars can be raised in the same way as lat. Tear, it seems to ns that the additional fifty could be rtised by entertainments from time to time, and we might add here that it is proposed by members of the committee to endeavor to arrange for raising this amount in the summer when oar college boys and girls are at home. This last mentioned fact in regard to vacation suggests that there is a further imper,tive duty upon the community to make provision not only for the reading of the children at school, but also for those who are here only during the summer months. Nothing could be of more value in keeping these in touch with their col lege work than a suitable list of books and periodicals from which selections coul1 be made. It would seam, there fo;e, to us that the time is now ripe for the committee to invest at least a small portion of its fued in some of the popular magazines for a short period during the Eummer months. Not only would a reading room thus established prove of interest and profit in a literary war, but it would afford ample opportunity for bringing the young people of ths town into a more constant association--a feature that is worth every dollar that might be ex pended to secure it. Pos3ibly there i no better way of seeing what progres we ourselves are making than by comparing our efforts with those about us. Let us therefore see what is Winnsboro doing as com pared with her sitter towns to provide for the better reading of her voung and eld people to.. Marion, Union, Darlington, (hester, Pelzer, Piedmont % and several other towns have within% the last thre yerrs been provided withI public libraries. Azd in the matter of school libraries Darlington has forged ahead of every town in the State in providing 3,000 volumes for the white school and about 5G0 for the ne,ro school. Nor has this been done at one time, but by constant purchases from year to year. Chester, Bock Hill, Bamberg, Georgetown, Ander son, and numbers of other towns, both large and smaller than this town that has an educational record to be highly proud ~f, have far outstratchcd it in the popalarizing of learning through what Carlyle calls the univer sity of the future--a collection of books. The length o. whieh we have drawn out this intended abort note is only due to our inteuse interest in the reading of others-an interest thit has been above all others with us from the tine l we were ten tears o!d when a most valuable book was placed in our bands by an interested friend with the re quest to read i.
