ter may in a measure explain why a
Boston newspaper makes the assertion
that there is as much nourishment in

also likely there is a good deal of
truth in the statement, regardless of
the failure of the recent meat boycott.
That was due to the fact that we like
beef better than beans, and not to lack

ties of beans. but makes them rather
a side dish than the piece d. resistance.
Beef continues to have the best of it,
and this may be just as we'll, for we
raise more beef than beans. A sud-
den shift in this arrangement would
make the Boston staple higher than
the packers products, and even then
there might not be enough to go
around And It is something to be
thankful for that we arc not forced
to resort to the bean. Regardless of

discussing the proposed establishment Of
a school library plan for this city, whero.

greatly reduced.
The figures used by Mayor O'Rrien
were given to him by the school book de.

for the session of 190e-1910.
We are glad to get the information
contained therein, and agree with the
Mayor that they furnish food for Thought

who has had his heart touched bv tn.

children in this city who have not been
able to attend school because of tho
present high cost of books and s,n-

We would like to offer to the citizens
of Birmingham the following statement

counter is of solid mission. and is con-

rear of the store serves as a reading room
with comfortable seats and other con-
Veniences. Telegraph wires are run into
the store to furnish reports of worldwide

ents could furnish their own books from
books already owned by older children,
and that it would be necessary for the
library plan authorities to buy only about
40 per cent of the books new-thus reduc-
ing the cost of installing the library plan.
The figures furnished to the Mayor by
the Depositories may be correct, but 1t
Is hard for this committee to understand
how the books and supplies for 1900 chill
dren can be furnished at the prevailing
prices for s35,167 So. or an average cost of
1924 per pupil. The parents who are pay
ing the bills tell very different story,
and we would suggest a revising of the
figures.
The Gum Drug company, Third avenue
and Twentieth street, and the Brown To-
bacco company, Second avenue and TWEEN
tieth street. have very kindly allowed us
the privilege of displaying in their win
dows a set of the books used In the
Greenville, Miss. schools for three years,
and we would respectfully ask that the
citizens of Birming CHAM take opportunity
to inspect these books on display and see
for themselves that children can and will
keep books in a sanitary and clean condi-
ton when furnished to them by the school
authorities. These books were not select
ed sets for display but were taken indis-
criminately from the books turned in by
the children of Greenville at the end of
their recent school session.
Thanking you for the courtesy of pub
fishing this communication. we are, very
respectfully,

Judging from the number of pupils en-
rolled for the night school yesterday at
tho Paul Hayne school, the school will be
a great success. Efforts have been sue
cessfully made to induce employers In all
lines of business to encourage their en-
ployes to attend. Sessions will be held
Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights
for six weeks, and courses are offered in
