Superintendent Endorsement.

WoRsHAM, VA, Oct 20, '03.
Editor Herdid,-I heartily endorse
your plan for furnishishing libraries Il
the public schools, and will take great
pleasure in selecting suitable books for
the schools winning the prizes. Your
offer seems 10 me a very liberal one
and trust ii may be the means OF
giving to our children large number
Of readable books.
OF all our needs | consider this our
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 10 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. EGGLEsrON, JR.
