cf The Best.
ii One of the best circulating
school libraries in the state is in
! Newton county, and the story of
how >t came to be established is
| interesting,” says the Atlant.i
j Constitution. Commissioner IV.
C. Wright tells the story as fol
lows:
“During the spring of 1899 the
| board of education of Newton
county appropriated *2-30 for a
circulating library for tlie county
schools.
“To hold the volumes twenty
library boxes were constructed,
each strengthened with iron braces
and provided with stout handles
| in addition 10 n lock and key.
This 3 ost only *25. With w hat
remained of the sum appropriated
one thousand books were ptirchas*
ed, making fifty volumes to each
| J0X>
ii Twenty printed lists of books
were then made, together with
rules governing teachers in dis
tribntion of books, and the same
were pasted on inside lid of box.
The teachers were notified that
t hey could get boxes for their
schools and could keep them from
one to three months, when they
could return to office of county
sc liool commissioner and exehange j
for another box.
i i Just before the boxes were
sent out, in a village school of
sixty pupils only eight pupils
had ever read a book other than
their school readers, Three
after a box had been sent to the
school seventy-five books had been
read, and at the end of the school
term five and a half months in
length, nine hundred aud seventy
eight books from this box had
been read In addition to these
the teacher read several, and pro
bably a hundred were read by
parents and others not in school,
On an average one hundred hooks
per month from each of the twen¬
ty boxes were read, thus making,
at a safe calculation, ten thousand
books read during Die term.
11 In each box are a Webster's
Academic Dictionary and a
World’s Almanac. Many other
books are duplicated, but none to
the extent of the dictionary and
almanac, Each box has, in the
m tin, a set of 1 ooks different from
books in the other boxes. Fifty

i i During the past summer
board of education
$275 additional to the $280 of
year before, and eighteen new ’
boxes have been added to i ho ii
brary, each box contains thirty
books. The average cost of the
books in the first twenty boxes,
! including the boxes, freight and
drayage, is 23 cents. The average
cost in the last eighteen boxes is
50 cents.
“Last week I visited the school
■ which, eighteen months ago, could
j furnish but eight pupils who had
ever read a book. At the close of
• exercises Die teachers asked:
; “What shall wo do next Friday
| afternoon?” “Let us select some
gient men and talk about them.
lliis niomiug a teacher came
to my office and said: “Can you
send me out another library box?
Please send one with those biogra
phies of great men.”
U My observation is that biogra*
pines are what the boys and girls
like. And what better books can
they read? Who can read the lives
of Jackson and Lee and Washing
ton without becoming better than
they were before?
“These hooks, as a rule, should
uot cost more than 50 cents each
In selecting books for school libra
ries we should not make the mis
take of getting those written for
mature minds. Select those writ
ten for boys and girls,
The average boy and girl in
country and town find no books at
home written for them : they were
written for men and women.
In selecting books for children get
books written for children, or
they will not be read by children.
“My teacher tells me that no
money ever spent by the board of
education has accomplished
same good as Die $500 invested in
the Circu.ating School Library,
“One day, a short while before
the library was put in operation 1
talked to a school on Die subject
of reading and told of the books
we were soon to have. As I was
leaving the school a boy handed
me eighteen cents and said: “Or
der that book for me.” I ordered
the book, “Self Help, by Smiles.
On a visit to the school later,
same boy called me to one side
and said he was anxious to go to
