the number whose answers Iarf, nuotefi
above and mere opport,inity, of looking
upon and learning the names of the
best books is oftentimes of itself
stimulus to reading. d In the distribu-
tion of the books the plan, of having
each child make lout,a list Of the three
numbers that were, perferred and
handing the same in the day before
the books were let out has been fol-
lowed; and there is ITO thought at this
time Of changing this method thai has
proven so successful. q special adyan-
tage that this anetllod has is. that it
tonly assists't the child in getting ac-
quainted with the books of thelibrary,
but it also makes it possible for the.
children.sto make more intelligent
comparison of the books that have
been read:si And with all due respect
to all the:teacllers OF the whole teach
ing profession the one that Is likely to
have the gteatest influence upon this
or that child as to the books read is
the pupil who sits next.by. The teach
er's greatest opportunity, therefore,
Is in getting the first pupils started
right in this matter OF reading. There
is possibly no other phase of school
work in which the cooperation OF the
parents can be SO easily secured.
Without any feeling of egotism
whatever: tie writer from the expert
ences mentioned above. most heartily
endorses all that has been said in re-.
gard to arousing the interest of the
children as the first step that is neces-
sary,in establishing: a library-and that
