BOOKS FOR THE SCHOOLS.

next four years great care should b,
taken to get the best books, and at til,
same time to make the cost as low a
possible. The best, Of course, is non.
TOO good for our children, but it is no
liways an easy matter to determine JUS
what are the best among great variet,
Of books offered, many of them having
excellent features. In recent years it
has been discovered that certain North.

by design or not is not to the point II

acter and are contrary to what we Of the
South should desire to have our chill.

attention should be paid to these things
by those who shall be delegated to pass

offered, to the end that in the course
Of teaching prescribed for o,p children
only the most neral and elevating in
stract;sii should Be given.
Louisiana does not wish her sons and
daughters to be educated out Of the
traditions and ideals which have inspired
her people for generations past. We
