of the educati onal article in the Lad

entitled "The Murder of the limo
cents" which was read by Mrs. Hig-
gins and 1.-The Democracy of Child
hood" by Hezekiah Butterw orth :,
which was published in ''The Coming
Age" Mrs. Seamans read paper
on the Curfew ordinance that is in
force in so many cities. Everyone felt
that the afternoon was both pleasant
ly and probably spent.
The current event hour was full OF
interest. The article most enjoyed in
that part OF the club program was an
article read by Mrs. Wire from a
W oman journalist in Paris, who was
for years member of the Brook

BOOKS,


The School Library Encyclopedias
published by the Kansas Book Co. :,
of Topeka, is the finest thing of it's
kind for schools We have ever seen.
The objection to most cyclopedias for
school work is that there is too much
technical and scientific description,
and that the student, instead of ha.-
Ing clear concise idea of any topic,
is usually left in a hopeless mertal
confusion after consulting it. The
School Library Cyclopedia is design
ed especially for country students
aad ought to be in every school room
in Edwards county. In many cases
students in country schools have moth
ing for reference except she text book,
and it is 81 great mistake. Provide
the means by which a child may edu-
cate himself at the time he is max ing
a business CT it by providing him
with a good set of cyclopedias. The
Graphic will be glad to show you this
excellent set of books which can be
purchased of the Kansas Book Co. at
Topeka, Kans.
