our debaters to have the contest on

SELECTION OF A LIBRARY.

The diversified opinions as to maya
zines holds good in the choice of IL
brary books. In selecting an individual
library one can consult his own fantas-
tic notions and ideas, but in selecting
a school library much discretion
should be used. One must study con-
ditions as they exist in that particular
locality for which the library is
chosen.
1t is an almost worthless expendit-
ure to put books that will seldom If
ever be read, into library.
Too many select what suits their
own fancy without considering condi-
tons as they exist. There are some
books, however, that should be placed
in every school library.
Taken with a knowledge of the facts
of the career of Defoe, Robinson
Crusoe can properly be considered a
story intended to illustrate the heavy
burden of trouble placed upon single
individual isolated from his fellows,
and compelled to maintain his exist
ence without their aid. This tale
shows in very interesting manner
how all civilized men are inter-inde-
pendent. Robinson Crusoe is, no
doubt, the most widely read work of
fiction and should find a place in every
schol library.
Sir John Lubbock gives list of 100
books which he considers the cream
of the Worlds literature. Yet we
doubt If very many of these books
would be read II placed in the public
school library.
He mentions: Pilgrims Progress"
limitation of Christ" Canterbury
Taller" Shakespeare" Paradise
Lost" Essay on Man." Arabian
Nights" "Gulliver's Travels" Robin
son Crusoe," vicar of Wakefield"
'Darwins Origon of Species" "Bacons
Essays" "self Help" Vanity Fair"
"Pendennis," "Pickwick Papers" Last
Days of Pompeii," adam Bede." and
SCOTS Novels" most of which are
too heavy for the rural schools H.
brary.
There are many good books in good
bindings, good paper, and interesting
and instructive. These should be care
fully selected and graded but care
should be taken that not too many
books be selected for the lower grade
pupils. Small children do not. as q
rule, read intelligently and do not
take proper care of books. A few
books with suitable stories for the low
err grades II read by the teacher to the
pupils or used for sight reading In

SPORTS
ULR'('fI AND POTTS
TO MEET IN
MPLS.
Superior Fighter and Mill City
Man Have Made Arrange
Ments for a Match.

Curley Ulrich, the Superior fighter
will meet Jimmie Potts of Minneapolis.
Friday. Feb. Is in Minneapolis In Il
10-round go at l37 pounds or under.
The winner is to take 60 per cent OF
the receipts, and it is to be a clean
break fight.
These terms are little bad for the
Superior boy, as he is not clean
break fighter, and the proposition OF
fighting in Potts home town is not the
most pleasing in the world in view OF
certain rather crooked deals that have
been handed out there in the past, but
strenuous howl against the condi-
tions, such as has been arising from
some quarters since the arrangements
which Ulrich had entered into have
been known, is little bit out of place
just at this time. Ulrich lost to Potts
a month ago, and he naturally has had
to give the Minneapolis man anything
he wanted.
1t is not likely that another one Of
mustard proposition will be handed
to the Superior fighter on this occasion
and it is rather severe knock on the
Twin City fans to assure the local man
that he can not get anything bordering
on square deal if he goes after the
"favorite son" in his home town.
Curiey is in better shape that he was
last December and Potts will have all
he can do to put up fight which
even the most partial of referees could
pronounce an even break

MAGAZINES FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS,

This is an age of magazines and no
school is thoroughly equipped with
out few of the leading periodicals on
its reading table.
Wit this thought in view we wrote
to several leading educators of the
state for their choice of twelve and
the following list shows great vari-
ance of opinions received from eight
educators:
Six selected-"Review of Reviews"
and Success"
Five Literary Digest.
-Four selected-"Ladies' Home Jour-
mai, "Mcclure's Worlds Work." est.
Nicholas" youths Companion" sThe
Little Chronicle" and "Westland Edu.
Gator"
Three selected-"Outlook," Cen
tury," "Scribner," American Boy" and
Pathfinder
These eight leading educators named
forty-nine different publications. each
naming but twelve. Several expressed
themselves as very undecided in their
choice and said "a little more reflec-
ton might cause a change in the list
sent"
Three selected some Farm Journal
but no two agreed as to the same Sc
lection. Inasmuch as there is much
talk about the study of agriculture in
our schools and this is a great agri-
cultural state and the question asked
was: Name best twelve periodicals
suitable for village and rural school IL
braries, this came as surprise to us
for we surely thought every educator
of North Dakota would favor some
farm paper.
Eight educational papers were men
toned, but six of the eight were men
toned by one. He ranks very high as
an instructor and is at the front in all
educational meetings of the state all
of which shows he is devoted to the
educational work.
Out of the long list of many good
daily and weekly newspapers only two
were mentioned-The Chicago Daily
Record and the Minneapolis Journal,
Upon this point we are somewhat par
tial believing as we do that every child
should become interested in some
good daily or weekly. Our experience
In this line as teacher convinces us
that teacher can do very much in d.
recting children how to read a good
family journal; how to sift the wheat
from the chaff.

HOW TO RAISE FUNDS FOR A
LIBRARY.

Many of our progressive teachers
Throughout the state at this time of
year when patrons are net busy, are
having entertainments, basket socials
etc.. to raise funds to purchase a
school library or TO add to the one al
ready on hand.
Section 694 School Laws provides
that school boards may appropriate
and expend not less than ten nor
more than twenty-five dollars for each
school or separate department, each
year, for a school library but such
appropriation must be expended for
books only found in the State Library
list. School boards, so far as we can
learn are not generally taking advant-
age of this. Most libraries are the
result of the teachers enthusiasm and
money raise by teachers may. of
course. be used to purchase any book
or other article the said teacher wants
and since the teacher is instrumental
In raising this amount she should be
sole custodian of it and use her best
judgment in the disposal of such
funds.
The basket social seems to be the
most popular and most prolific source
of raising funds.
Recently Prof. Bennett who teaches
at Honeyford Grand Forks county
raised $3.50 at a basket social and
reports that much more could have
been raised had there been more
baskets.
An essential feature of success in a
basket social is good auctioneer to
auction off the baskets. Then there
should be provisions made to never
run short on baskets.
Miss Annie Gunderson who taught
a district school near Marvel, raised
$4,000 at a basket social in a very
small school.
Much of the success depends upon
the tact and enthusiasm of the
teacher.
We shall be pleased to hear from
any teacher who has met with success
whether by basket social or otherwise
as to the plan adopted, in detail. You
can do much to assist the inexperienc-
ed in this matter and at the same time
be blessing to the rising generation.
Let us hear how you succeeded.

quite effectively in some localities
when the patrons of school desire to
have access to a public library.
In such cases the usual plan is to
take around a list of books and let
each patron subscribe for as many and
such books as he wishes giving him
privilege of reading ten books for
every dollar invested. This makes
cheap reading and during the winter
is the best time to work this plan.
Many other schemes are used but
so far as we are able to learn the
basket social plan brings in the larg-
est returns for the energy expended.
The school entertainment plan
where fee is charged entails vast
amount of work. and cuts into the reg
ular school work often, causing dissat-
isfaction. The social feature of the
basket social has a good effect upon
any community if properly handled.
