To the Patrons OF Ironton Public
Schools.

On the goth, of November the citi-
zens, pupils and teachers of Ironton
will give a Musical and Literary En-
tertainmeut in the Academy OF Music
for the benefit of the Public School
Library.
A good library will help the work of
the school very much. 1t cannot be
sustained without the support of the
patrons. Please give US a helping
ing hand in making this entertainment
a rOuStng success.
We desire to develop in your child
rem a power to grasp worthy, useful,
beautiful thoughts from books. If we
succeed, have we not accomplished a
great work? They need to cultivate a
taste for the beauty in good books and
the nobleness in great character; they
need to create a desire to read good
books. This desire will soon develop
into a habit. This habit will last
Qikely) forever. After this desire is
created, the pupil is in a good condi-
ton to receive knowledge from any
source. II they are taught the proper
use of reference books, and to make
preparation of their lessons, they will
acquire a habit Of thorOughraess not only
in their studies, but in their reading,
thus opening new and inviting avenues
TO knowledge. Every child has the
power to think and imagine. Shall
these faculties be cultivated? or must
they be dwarfed and go downward just
as surely as a field without cultivation
will produce weeds? There is no bet
ter material for thought and magma
ton than a good book. The great OBJ
ject of school training is to implant in
the youthful mind the germs OF a llber-
al self-culture. This can be done only
by giving children ready access to good
books If the homes do not furnish
the required food for the child's intel
lectual growth, the schools should.
After all, self-education is the only
education. What child gets at school
is only stimulus, a guide, the text
books and desire to the work that Is
to follow. Progress by pupil, after
he leaves school, must be made from
much reading of books.
Very respectfully.

HOFFMAN'S TRIUMPH
COMPLETE.

President Hoffman, Vice President E.
st. John and the Seaboard Air Line di-
rectors spent Thursday in Wilmington
holding an election of officers and di-
rectors for the Carolina Central. They
have two or three more annual elections
to hold for branch lines, and they are
now in Columbia where they held q
meeting yesterday.
The injunction against the Hoffman
pool will be heard September 18th at
Norfolk. Mr.. Ryan is in to fight to the
last ditch and he is determined to break
the pool as it stands if he can do it.
Mr.. Hoffman is confident that the pool
cannot be broken. No one can tell what
the result will be, but the Hoffman man
agement is in for a year or more at
least.
1t is we'll known that Mr.. Ryan had
expected to win in the election. He
counted on carrying the independent
stockholders his way. But Mr.. Hoffman
had sailed that stock and the old di-
rectors are being reelected along the
whole system. Hoffman has the whole
programme cut and dried and it is be-
ing carried out as smoothly, so far as
the election goes, as If there were no OPP
position at all to the management.
