Libraries for Schools.
Too many of the older pupils and
teachers, as well, think that reading
belongs to the first two or thm.
grades in school. It is the founda
tion of learning and is the key that
unlocks the great store houses ot
thought. A poor rentier will fail to
catch the meaning of the simplest
problem and of course fail in its
solution.
Outside of the absolute necessity
of reading understanding^, there
lies the great fact that we should
read for culture. Provide good
wholesome books in your home and
encourage the children to read them.
Have none but the best, for in
books we find companions and
friends, and just as in real life these
companions influence us for good or
bad. We cannot always guard the
children so that all influence from
“that bad boy of the neighborhood"
is averted, but we can choose their
companions in books, and a child
who loves to read good books will
be less susceptible to, in fact lie will
likely have a disgust for, the bad
boy.”
If you are not able to give your
children a good library at home,
then see that there is one at school.
Ask your teacher why she hasn’t
made an effort to get one of the cir
culating libraries for the school. If
she knows nothing about them ask
ner to write to the State School
Commissioner for information, or
write to the President of the School
Improvement Club. There are many
helping hands held out to you in the
improvement of your school condi
tions, the uplift of the community,
and the building of character in the
boys and girls, if you will only reach
out and grasp those hands. Seize
the opportunities as they come,
don’t sit back and say, “The books
cost more than the ‘lamin’ comes
to. —Farmers Union News.

lowing report: .
Since April 1st have been running Road
Machines, grading, building bridges, farm
ing and general road work. Have done
street work for Bowdon, Roopville, Villa
Rica-all due us yet. The ver<f heavy rains
in July was very damaging to us and ex
pensive. Worked a number of convicts on
bridge work about a month. Our farm work
we think is paying. Your Hon. Body is
requested to inspect. One crew of our men
are grading on the Franklin read, the bal
ance of our men are macadamizing some
places on Villa Rica and Temple road.
Our purpose is to grade and widen road for
the future and macadamize bad places
where we think most needed.

the overseer can do nothing at present,

Doomed to Extinction?
The general statement is frequent
ly made that the negro race is dying
out, but the evidence is not always
convincing. From Texas, however,
come statistics, carefully collected
and compiled, which go to show
that the death rate among the
negroes of that State is not only
much greater than
whites, but is actually in excess of
the birth rate.
About a year ago the health de
partment of Texas began to tabulate
a monthly report of vital statistics, |
and made a special elTort to insure
accuracy and completeness: Several
months were required to adjust the
machinery, but a report has now
been made covering a period of
eight months ended with August.
This report shows that among the
whites the birth rate is twice and
in some months three times as great
as the death rate, while among the
negroes the excess of births over
deaths during eight months was
only fifty-two, while, the death rate
was in excess of births during the
months of April, May, June, and
July.
Dr. Henri Bogart of Indiana, writ
ing in a recent number of the Medi
cal Summary of Philadelphia, gives
facts which are still more striking,
and declares as a result of his cal
culations that “half a century will
have eliminated the race question
as of political or racial significance.”
He points out that in Indiana there

Don’t Plow Under Good hay.
Someone asks: “Will it not im
prove the land more to plow under
the legume crops instead of making
hay of them? Certainly you will get
the humus-making material , there
quite rapidly by using them as
manure direct, and this might be
done by a man rich enough to be
careless as to the cost of the im
provement of his soil. But the poor
man of all others, should endeavor
to make the farm pay for its im
provement. He has gotten, we will
say, a crop of pea vines on his land
that will make two tons of hay per
acre. These two tons will be worth
$20 as food for stock, and if fed
to stock and the droppings saved
carefully and applied to the land
that grew the peas, he car get fully
80 per cent of the manurial value
of the crop back on the land in a
more available shape, and in a form
will give more profit, while increas
ing the humus in the soil, than if
the whole had been buried, and can
make a profit from the 20 per cent
used for the cattle. It is the poor
man, of all others, who should farm
economically. He must adopt the
very reverse of the plan that grad
ually made his land poor, and must
gradually make it productive by
patiently working in a rotation that
will give him an abundance of
foraging from legume crops that
will enable him to forever abandon
the buying of nitrosen in any form.
