IN AND AROUND DELHI.
SCHOOL LIBRARY.


last week was "Uncle Remus,-His
Songs and His Saying" by Joel Chand-
Ter Harris. This is book which will
prove interesting to both the children
and the grown up folks. Mr.. Harris
ranks among the best of our modern
writer's of fiction. Himself a Southern
er, he pictures faithfully the character
of the negro and reveals the folklore of
this people. Anyone who has listened
to an old white haired negro "spin
yard"-will recognize in Uncle Remus
an old friend.
One great need in the study of the
history of our schools is to make the
events and characters of the past liv-
ing and real. 1t is a matter of con-
graduation when we find an author
who is able to carry us back to the
scenes of the past and thrill us with the
ideas and feelings which moved men
at that time. In "Hugh Wynne," DR..
Wier Mitchell takes us back to Revo-
lutionary times and allows us to see
the life of that period through the eyes
of Philadelphia Quaker who is init
mate with Washington, Benedict Ar
mold and other historic characters.
This very interesting novel will be add
ed to the library this week. The books
will be numbered:
191. Uncle Remus.
