SCHOOL NEWS NOTES OF LAUREMS COUNTY The Schools, Teachers and Pupils. How to establish a Bhool library: Whenever the patrons and friends of a public school raise by private sub scription the sum of $10.00, the county board of education will appro priate $10.00 from the money belonging to the district asking for the library, and $10.00 from the general county school fund, the county supt. will then make application to the state hoard of education and that hoard will re mit to him $10.00. This gives $40.00 in all. Of that amount $10.00 must be spent for a suitable bookcase, ami the Other $30.00 for hooks suitable for the school children. The trustees and teachers will select the hooks and send the list to the county supt. who will order the books at once. The hooks are purchased In Atlanta and come very cheap. A list of books to select from may he had on application at the office of county superintendent of ed ucation. There are only a few schools in th" county that have not already estab lished school libraries, and it is hoped that the remaining few will take steps in that direction at once. It is very important that children read good books. The teachers should encour age that part of their education. Most of the children are reading where they have the library. In a great many places they have read almost all the hooks. In such cases the trustees and teachers should enlarge the supply of books. How to enlarge a library: When the children and friends of n school raise by private subscriptions the sum of $r>.00, the county board of education will appropriate from the funds of that district $f>.00 and make applica tion to the state board for $5.00, giv ing a total Of $15.00. The hooks will then be selected by the teacher and trustees and the list sent to the conn, ty superintendent who will order the books. A great many of our libraries ought to be enlarged since the child ren have read most of the books they now have, it is a good plan to ?et the children to raise this library mon ey. They will gladly and quickly do p with the encouragement of the teacher. When they raise the money each little fellow reels that the library is a product of Iiis own efforts and lie will naturally read more and take better care of the hooks. To encour age this very important work among the children tin; county supt. lias <lc aided to offer a prize to each school that will establish or enlarge a li brary during this school session. The plan is tills: The children must raise the money. The teacher will assist ami advise them. The teacher will take the names of each child who hrings in money for library and the a moiinl each one brings. These names and amounts will be sent to tho coun ty supt. when the required amount is raised, and the boy or girl who brings in the most money to the teacher for the library will be given a prize. This prize will he a nice book suitahle to the age of the child. The name of the school, the list of hooks ordered, the mime and amount of each child who contributed, with special mention of the one who wins the prize will he published in The Advertiser. Lets! sec what school and what child will win the Ilrst prize.
