These books come from the State Library Board of South Carolina through the courtesy of the National Asso ciation of Book Publishers. Some fifteen publishers have agreed to send copies of their new children’s books to the states which wish them so that they may be shown throughout the libraries and com munities in that state. The parents as well as the chil dren are urged to see these books.

The books are divided into three groups, or rather three age levels. First those that may be called easy books; or those for the pre-school, kindergarten and primary grades children. The second group is the middle group, which includes a large range from about the fourth through the sixth grades. The third group contains the books for the older boys and girls. txt- S Subsidy Payments Filed Second notices have been mail ed to farmers who have not signed up for their Subsidy pay ment on the 1937 cotton.
