Legends of Old Newgate.
" England Magazine.


A century ago "Old Newgate'' was one or
the most famous prisons in America. Crimi-
nails of all sorts had wholesome dread of
its frowning walls. and the children trem
bled with fright at the stories told of it's
inmates. Today 1t is wellnigh forgotten.
The old wall and buildings are fast falling
to decay, and, save for an occasional yfsi-
tor who explores its gloomy caverns with
gruesome wonder, the present generation
knows little of the place. Yet for its own
unique character as we'll as for its many
associations with colonial, revolutionary
and early state history the institution is
worth visiting, though 1t were at the cost
of hundred-mile pilgrimage.
The number of persons confined In the
caverns at one time occasionally exceeded
one hundred, and not few noted convicts
served terms of Imprisonment there. Many
are the legends that cluster about the
crumbling walls, and every turn In the UNI
foreground passages suggests some story OF
one or another of the conyicts who have
been confined in their dark recesses. AS

Need of Libraries for Schools.

From Public Opinion.
Scheduled in all the syllabuses of school
work from the sixth year on We find 1.-The
use OF library books" The aim of this pro-
vision Is to teach children in the elementary
schools and In the higher institutions to
use books Of supplementary reading in
diligently, and to correlate these with their
class work. Indeed, the teaching OF such
subjects as history and biography in some
of the grades Is almost entirely dependent
on such reading. There the work, in the
great majority of our schools, stops. While
ample provision has been made in the
newer structures for laboratories and chem
ical lecture rooms, the school library Is still
unimproved, and usually consists of few
books for each class, soon exhausted and
covering but little ground. We cannot ex-
pect the children of the poor to maintain
libraries at home nor to use public libra
rles inteiligently without supervision. There
fore. the plea In the Dial for school libra
ries seems q wel-founded one:
The teaching of history and literature
must be carried on In a wen-equfpped libra
ny, with constant use Of the authorities
with the setting of tasks that cannot be
performed without the students own cor
relation OF many printed sources of infor-
nation, and with the kind of intelligent
guidance that can alone be given by the IN
structor who Is himself familiar with the
methods and materials OF historical and
literary Investigations. To bring about this
desired result school must have library
In which at least one-half of the class work
in history and literature may be DONE The
library must be large enough to aceommo-
date all the classes that need to use it,
which means that the space 1t occupies
should be approximately equal TO the space
now occupied by the combined laboratories.
II must be provided with generous appro-
priation for its maintenance. which means
that the total sum annually available for
school supplies ought to be apportioned
