When we condemned the act pro-
vidine for the establishment of school
Libraries We were of the opinion that
it was wrong in principle, because it
took portion Of the money from the
free public schools thereby Gripping
them to the extent of the money
used for library purposes. We are
of the eame opinion n-still. Truc, the
amount involved for this psrtlcu ar
purpose is small, yet, if these small
leaks are not stopped in their incipi-
ency they will soon become so lsrgs
as to pass beyond the control of those
at the head of the school system
Many of the rural schools If the
county have recently passed through
a bitter experience in using the pub
lie school funds for purpose other
than that intended by law in the
purchase of charts, and so or, and
had not the courts relieved them ct
the burden of the debt, the schools
would have had either to clnse their
doors for 80 indefinite period or run
on short time, either of which events
would have been detrimental to the
educational interest of the children
attending those schools. Again were
the first cost of these so called libra
ries the only expense to be consid
cred then, while The wisdom of es-
tablisbing them is doubtful, yet the
use of the school fund for this pur-
pose could be condored on the by
pothesis that one child out of given
number might take advantage of the
school library and burn the midnight
pine knot in search of that knowledge
which it failed to 6nd at school by
reason of the missppropriation of
the public funds so that the trustees
could not employ a teacher cowpe-
tent to impart such information. But
like on endless chain, the expense of
keeping them up and other incident
als,goes on and on, or the library drops
to pieces by the weight of its own
age. We are not oppose to libraries
but We do oppose tLe proposition of
! using the public school fund for their
purchase and maintenance at the ex-
pense and to the il jory of the rural
schools.
We have considered the article of
"Jsy Tea," and as painful as the re-
suit may be, have arrived at the con-
c:usion that be dosen't know what he
is talking about. 10 the first place
we are not opposed to libraries as
stated above, but do oppose the use
Of any portion Of the public money
that should by law 60 to the rural
schools, for the purchase of books
that but few Of the scholars are ad-
vanced sufficiently to understanding
ly digest, and in the secord We do
not favor the establishment Of aca-
demic schools at the expense of the
old field, or more correctly, the rural
schools. Our contention is that ii
these schools have more funds than
they can use under present conditions
then it would be better to use it in
the employment of better teachers,
in extending the length of the ses-
