Of said report he says in relation to

The statistics further show that
about one-third Of the pupils bought

Scett's First Leve .

1t 10 an OLD saying, "Whom first
we love We never we'd" and this,
though not strictly true, may be ap-
Piled to Scott, Byron, George Wash
ington, and many ether men Of note.
It 10 interesting to observe how poets
generally present their love matters
to the public. The personal experi-
ence ef such men will crop out.
Scott, far instance, fell deeply in lsve,
In early Life, with . girl OF sristocrat-
ic family, and - he was then merely
q poor barrister, There was no pros
pest Of success. His father, knowing
this, and being desirous 10 bring the
matter to close, suggested to the
parents the propriety OF terminating
the acquaintance, and this was done
IL tho least painful manner. The
lady was the only daughter Of Sir
Joha Stewart, Of Forfarshire, and
abe afterward married Sir william
Forbes, the noted Edinburgh banker.
As Scott was . well-educaAed young
man, Of fine personal appearance and
agreeable manners, there could be
but little reason for giving the bank
er preference, except his wealth and
social rank, Scott felt this keenly
through life; in ''Rokeby" he revives
the episode atsoms length. Matilda,
the heroine Of the poem, represents
the object Of his love, who there re-
jects peet in faver Of one OF higher
rank, and this scene becomes doably
interesting Is picture Of SCOTS ear
y experience. In 1911 Lady Forbes
died; but she lived long enough to
see the once penniless barrister the
frst poet in Scotland. Her death
was deeply feltby Scott, for, although
be had been married for twelve years,
the old fame was not extinguished.
'sRokeby' appeared next year, and
I Lockhart says ''that there is nothing
wrought out, In all Scott's prose,
more exquisite than the contrast be-
tween the rivals for the hand of the
heroine" Six years afterward Scott
wrote thus to Miss Edgeworth:
"Matilda was attempted for the per-
son Of . lady who is now no more, 20
that I am fattered with your distin-
gushing it." As this took place
nearly twenty years after the disap.
pointment, 1t illustrates the tenacity
with which the author held to his first
love. When Lady Forbes died,
Scott was 30 affected that he called
on her mother, and both fell to weep
ing over the sad affair. It is q curl
ous incident in domestic history to
RE . man carrying his first love 80
tenderly through life while married to
another woman to whom be always
showed great attachment. Scott evi.
IDENTIFY made Matilda the ideal or
dream-wifs, who accompanied hin to
the last. Having recovered from the
worst effects Of his disappointment,
he met q French girl, whose father
had saved both life and fortune by
fleeing from the dangers of the revo-
luton. At the time referred to Miss
Gargentisr Carr. as 1or Garps1ttsesr, Haas AZ Qs
his affections, - far as this was pos
sible. He appeared as has been
seen, much attached to his wife
through life, and sincerely mourned
her death. She was, however, intel
lectually and physically inferior to
the Scottish ladies of that city, and
the rapid degeneraey Of the family
may, in some degree, be ascribed to
30 unfavorable . union.

Fra.d total bsoks q slass Q. 7sl T. cost o. .os Us
On the basis as above estimated,
the average cost OF the reader, for
example, now In uss, is 50 ceats per
copy; this multiplied By the numbsr
Of children actually in attendance in
our schools, % authoritatively given
by Doctor Shannon, 400, 900, weuld
be a cost to the patrons Of t152, 900
per annum for the whele state.
Now the question arises, what
would it cost the people OF Missouri
to change every old reading book
now in the hands Of the children?
Take q an illustration the guaran-
teed price Of Appleson's New Series,
which is 81 10 per set Of i've books,
or % cents per book. This multi
piled by the 400, 900, the number Of
school children, would give US 40 .
total cost $50, 600, and 10 q saving
Of S64 600 to the State. This would
certainly supply every child in the
schools with new reading books, one
third Of which, n 6y Superintendent
Greenwood's statement, would last
three years, one-third two years, and
the balance one year; or, in other
words, this SUM would be the expen-
diturs for reading matter averaging
tHo years. Thsrs are ll4 counties
in Missouri, the present average cost
per county for reading books being
81, SIS IS, while the change would
cost On a average t7s8, being IN
actual average saving to each and
every county In Missouri Of $S44 S3,
leaving the subject Of mart of the
different books wholly outside of the
question under considefatioa.
Ths above facts prove conclnsivsly:
Erst-That . change Of readers
would save money TO Ill the people
Of Missouri. @
Second-That every county in the
state would be the gamer by said
change in . pecuniary aense.
Thirl-That every toxnship, dis
