FREE TEXT BOOKS
^Like Banquo’s ghost, the* subject of free text books for the
children of Georgia comes up and then dissolves into thin air.
The subject has been agitated recently, but the agitation seems
to have been smoothed out ino the calm level of ^things as they
have always been,” and the children are still under the dominion
.of the high cost of books. Why this happens time after time
is rather difficult for the layman to understand.
That free text books are needed to bring the schools up to a
maximum degree of efficiency, is known to all who are familiar
with educational conditions. The present cost of books makes
the furnishing of several children with those needed in their
school work, an intolerable burden to a family of small means.
In some it is actually prohibitive, and so the children are not in
school. Second-hand books are dangerous, unless properly steril
ized, and this is seldom done by those who buy them.
Then again, days, an sometimes weeks, pass before the
grades are fully equipped and the work can be carried on
smoothly, and much valuable time is thus lost. ,
In spite of the need, however, the state has deemed it inex
pedient to furnish the books, and local systems have felt that the
cost was prohibitive. But there is a comparatively easy solution
of the problem. There is in one of the large manufacturing cen
ters of Georgia, where the schools are second to none in the
south, a system that has worked admirably for more than a half
centmry. And it may be well to state just here that, though there
are several thousand mill operatives in the community, there has
never been a real strike among them. The system was planned
and inaugurated by a board of level-headed, public spirited men
some sxity odd years ago, and today, with more than a score of
handsome buildings, it stands, a monument to tneir wisdom and
i-foresight. #
By paying a comparatively small book fee each term every
thing the child needs in the way of books and stationery is fur
nished the child. By a system of regular inspection and mending,
the boks are kept in good condition, the child paying for loss,
hr wilful misuse, or mutilation. The child is. thus taught, per
force, the proper care of books.
I. All books that have been used, are sterilized during vacation,
• and those used by a pupil with an infectious, or contagious dis-
'ease, are’burned.
On the opening day pf school a complete set of books, pencils
and tablets arc on each desk, so the work moves off as smoothly
the first day of school ah.on any other day. •“>
The books and supplies arc bought by wholesale, and old
h^oks are. exchanged with publishers, • so the cost per pupil is
' loept at a minimum. And the child really pays for the books.
They do not cost the city or state one penny. And the amazing

mothers whose babies are ap.
proaching the age of one year. The
best answer ^probably is “do not
wean the baby suddenly in the
very midst of the hot spell.”
But, on the other hand, it* is
most unwise to keep the baby at
the breast after the milk has be.
come scanty and poor in quality.
The best plan is to . begin the
weaning process by the sixt’;
month, or thereabouts, giving a lit
tle properly modified fresh milk ;
once a day.
From this age on, each month
may see the gradual introduction
Qf certain foods, and the cautious
substitution of bottle for breast
feedings, until by the tenth month,
or a little earlier or later as the
chae may be,.the baby is well ac
customed to the new food and can
be fed thus through the hottest
weather in safety.
' If the baby is still in the first
half of the first year, every effort
If, however, the baby must be
fed on the bottle, it will be well to
make the feedings weaker than usi
ual, when the weather is very hot.
It is far better to under-feed the
baby for a little while, than to,run
the risk of an attack of diarrhea.
\ The easiest way to weaken the
food is to pour off an ounce or
more from each bottle and make
up the . amount of fluid by adding
an equal quantity of water. Or the
milk and sugar may be decreased
and the water increased when tho
feedings are made up.
If the baby does not care to eat,
do not urge his food upon him. A
flagging appetite is very common
in slimmer, and the baby will make
up for his lack, as soon as the
cooler days come. Give him a
.great deal of cool (not iced) drink
ing water. It is well to boil all

v f A PUBLIC LIBRARY
f
It is to be hoped that the recent agitation about a public
library for Athens will materialize into definite plans. That
•every community, from the 1 largest to the smallest, is due its
citizenship such an institution, is a universally conceded proposi-
i ' tibii. That every community is not able, or thinks itself not able,
,. to furnish it is unfortunate for the people comprising the com
munity. i *
• • ■ There is no other one force thstt is so largely educative, that
it ‘will count more in eradicating illiteracy, or in making intelligent
efficient citizens-than- a -public library, equipped with the best
■ « possible range of books and periodicals. Every child of school
K: 'age should have access to one and should be taught to make in-
j ■tdlige'nt use of it. -The child with a book to read in an illiterate
B ! home, or a child with a book to read and have discussed in an in-
Jfii teiligent home, is the bit of leaven that will by and by leaven the
lj 'entire community.
rr No community can vise to its best without access to books,

B ous other educational institutions, a city beautiful, homes, flour-
