Superlnteldent'S Endorsement.

WORsHAM, VA, Oct 20, '03.
Editor Herdid:-i heartily endorst
your plan for furnishishing libraries {,
the public schools, and will take grea
pleasure in selecting suitable books fO
the schools winning the prizes. You
offer seems to me very liberal one
and l trust it may be the means o
giving to our children a large number
Of readable books.
OF all our needs | consider this Oul
greatest A library in each schoolroom
would awaken the minds Of the chill
dren, make them better students, give
them an added interest in the school
make them more regular in attendance
and open to them a world Of good
things Of which very few Of them gel
even a glimpse. And the parents
would also derive great pleasure from
these books when they were taken
home by the children.
Very truly yours,
j. ID. EGGLEsTON, JR.
