The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1888-05-03

We have received through the
kind considerations Of Capt, w. b.
Hendrick, the grea'e-t BOOKSELLER of
the country, representing the I'M
iversity Publishing Company, the
new series of Holmes Readers,
Holmes History of the United
States, and Maury's Manual of
Geograph-North Carolina edition.
And we take pleasure, after having
examined these books, in recon-
mendlng them to all our teachers
and al our schools.
The series of readers is gem of
beauty and convenience and of
highly entertaining instruction for
tue boys and girls of the South. So
is the new History Of the United
STATES, and the Geography. Cap.
Hendrick is doing much towards
bringing about a system of uniforms
lty in the nse of texts, thing sadly
needed in all our schools.
The books referred to are in the
State list Of books for our schools.
WHAT MAJOR FINGER SAYS.
On circular letter of July 9Th. 1887.
Major Finger, State superintendent ays0
->'Part!cular attention is directed to the
D.l,f 6
books are remarkably adapted for easy
use, especially IN primary schools; at the
same time they are fully up with the
newest and best methods. They cannot
fail to give instruction and entertainment
to pupils and to please parents and
teacherS.'
My urgent request to County Super
intendcntS is that they, when they ex-
anime teachers, and at all times, impress
upon them the Importance Of using the
State List Books, and of working for un-
Iformity in every way possible. Super
intendents and School Boards can require
all new books that go into the schools to
be of the State list"
In a letter of October Sth. 1897, to
Cnarlotte Democrat, Major Finger writes
as # FLOWS: "a list of good books has
| been selected. books in the main the
work of Southern authors, and well suit
cd to the wants of the people of our State,
! and business arrangement has been
made with the publishers to put tn IN il
! the hands Of the children at very low
prices. as Will be evident by an investig-
atIon-prices which will save to the peo-
pie, perhaps, as much as tlrenty-fre per
cent if the books are used, besides the
large saving by not changing so often"
