EDUCATIONAL.

Jasper Record: Professor Amis is put ing in in some telling blows for the Hund- ley amendment as his canvass for county superintendent progresses. Information reaches us that he has about converted hls opponent. Amis is perhaps the best quail fled man in the county for the position he seeks. Under his management the schools of the county have prospered, there has been com mparatively no friction and the standard of teachers notably improved. His defeat would be a calamity to the schools.
 Tuskalooea Gazette: The Hundley amend ment should receive the support of every voter. Don't forget to mark your ticket ''yes" when you go to the polls in Au- gust.
 Tuskaloosa Times: Pursuant to call of the county board of education the male teachers of the county met at the court house Saturday 10 consider the Huudley amendment, Superintendent o. A. Gaston presiding. After considerable discussion the following preamble and resolutions, upon motion Of MT. Little, seconded by Mr. Moon, were adopted:
 Whereas, The teachers of Tuskaloosa county, assembled at the county court house, recognize that the fund appropriated to the public schools, under the laws now of force in our state, are altogether 1nade- quate for the purpose of maintaining said schools as they should be maintained; and,
 Whereas We are impressed with the be- lief that in the education of the masses must be the successful perpetuity of our commonwealth, as well as the prosperity and harmony of individual communities; and,
 Whereas, We realize that the proposed amendment to the constitution known as the Hundley amendment is non- partisan measure.
 Resolved, That we heartily indorse said amendment, aud that we make effort to have it placed intelligently before the voters of this county.
 That we earnestly request all friends of education to assist in obtaining for the amendment a favorable consideration at the hands of the voters of our county.
 That we respectfully urge our local pa- pers, regardless of political adherence, to seek to enlighten the people as to the pur- port of the amendment.
 The vote upon the above amendment was practically unanimous, there being only one dissenting voice.

WISE WORDS,

Work off in whispers your surplus
words
Willful ignorance is an incurable
ailment.
Pedigree has ruined many fine
young man.
There is nothing more contagious
than grumbling.
Do not force others to bear the bur.
den of your song.
1t certainly takes very little to make
vain people happy.
We follow precedent as long as it
gives lis the advantage
Take up the first cross you come to,
and 1t will be your right one.
1t is so easy to convert others 1t is
so difficult to convert oneself.
1t is much easier to be contented
without riches than it is with them.
There ismore help in an ounce of
encouragement than there is in ton
of advice.

lleves, one must speak through lips
different from ones own.
Home is the one spot where affec-
ton dominates, the one school where
minds become expanded and charac-
tiers are formed.
Power will intoxicate the best hearts
as wine the strongest heads. No man
is wise enough nor good enough to be
trusted with unlimited power.
As man may be eating all day, aud
for want of digestion is never nour-
ished, so endless readers may cram
themselves in vain with intellectual
food.
Some minds seem built in water
tight compartments, and the doors of
them are kept shut very close, so that
truths in the understanding have no
influence ON the will.

The Decay of Books.

NJ. Delisle, the principal librarian
at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris,
warns us that our modern literature is
destined toperish. OF the 1000 and odd
volumes published annually in France,
not one, he thinks, will remain after a
certain time. Cheap paper is splen.
did thing in its way, but this is the
price we must pay for it. Old-fash-
ioned paper made from rags has stood
the test of hundreds of years, as the
many fine specimens of ffteenth-cen-
tury printing show, to say nothing of
still earlier books in manuscript.
Nowadays, however, paper is made of
all sorts of material of more or less
perishable character In particular,
as NJ. Delisle points out, books
printed on paper made from wood
pulp, soon begin to rot away. At
first the pages are covered by yellow
spots, and these are replaced in course
of time by holes. Even so-called hand.
made papers are often no more durable,
being treated with chemicals that
slowly destroy them. London Daily
