THE TEACHERS ,Il DUTY.
Not only is the teacher to take an
interest ia the reading of the pupils,
but must also be doing some good
reading. After naming several of the
strong books printed In the list else.
where, DR.. Boldridge very pertinently
remarks: OF course these are mostly
for teachers and they ought to be
read by all teachers. The advanced
scholars ought to see them enough to
know what they are and to have their
value explained to them"
While it may be new idea
with many teachers, Prof. McLucas
in the following statement makes 1t
very clear as to what should be expect
ed of teachers in respect to the
library: Il have had no experience
in this matter and none in public
schools; hut l should like :n suggest
that it is the teachers main business
to introduce children to books, and
h3s Rsy ay saSd ssn Ds essiSIs essssnea nGt to wait
troduce them. For as little as 25
cents from each child whole years
reading can be provided for class by
the method Of rotation. a circulat.
ing library Of this sort should be
established in each class from the pri
mary grade up, the teacher selecting
such books as the children would like
to read"
The value of the ;ibrarv is NOT a,
highly esteemed by Supt. Stuckey

Cants makes the following very per.

I like to see books get a wearing out
