the Richmond Wing, that not many
months previous to the evacuation by
the Confederate government of Rich
mond, an interesting little son of
President Davis, accidentally FELL from
the piazza of the residence occupied
by his father. and was so injured by
the fall as to die shortly afterwards
This little boy was buried at Holly
wood. That no monument marks his
grave is well understood by all 1t is
pleasant, however, to know that it will
not so remain The little BOYS and
girls, many ofwhom played and spor
ted with him whose memory they now
propose to perpetuate, have in the last
few days raised from among those of
their own age, by contribution, sum
sufficient to place over his remains a
neat and appropriate monument"

correspondent suggests no remedy,
however. We should like to see some
movement inaugurated for the adop-

all the excellent books published,
surely some could be selected worthy
of general use in our public and private

School Books.

| desire to call attention to the
great voriety of text books we have
in our schools; and also to the heavy
tax imposed upon patrons to keep up
that variety. The people have been
and are still, paying five times as
much for school books as they would
pay if we had a uniformity. In proof
of this | cite you to your shelves of
books that you cannot use, and the
many different ones on the same sub
iect.
We can remedy this evil by judi
| cious selection of the very best tex
books, and adopting them throughout
the State This uniformity would
save the State thousands of dollars
annually, and book sellers would
know what kind of books to get;
would buy large lots, and knowing
the certainty of selling, could sell at
smaller percentage.
Where does the money 90 that we.
pay for books? 1t must 90 out of
the State, because we have no pub
fishing houses within our borders.
Whom we enrich by the prodigal
purchase of all kinds of books, is
| easily inferred. The publishing
houses generally have adopted the
gery ercellent plan of issuing as many
editions" as possible, and we have
''new editions" and cold editions of
different authors, till the world of
school books is in such maze that
no teacher can select enough of one
kind to class his school properly,
without call on the purse of the
patron for ''new books.
l now appeal to teachers and pa.
irons, and ask if there is not some
way in which we can bring about this
much desired end, viz, uniformity
of text book in our schools" Think
of this, teacher, when you are wear
RED IN your school room With a mul-
tiplicity of different books. Think
of this, patrons, when the teacher sends
you word to buy another book. Think
of these things till your thoughts flow
out into words, and until they are
finally developed in action, .and in the
future your pockets will not be taxed
to pander to the whims of every teach
er that comes along with his pet
text books, that are good just because
he studied ''that kind when he went
to schools but yopr younger children
can use the h5Jks; that your elder
children have finished, and YOU book
shelves will not be loaded down with
rubbish, in the shape of old school
books. W C. w.
