DEPARTMENT of Libraries.

The meeting of the department of
III tiles was held at the assembly
hall Of Cony High school, with Miss
Mary c. Richardson of Castine Normal
school presiding. State Supt. of
Schools Payson Smith took up the
matter of THE Rural School and It's
Library" He expressed as his opinion
that one reason for the lack of IL
braries in the rural schools was that
the teachers did not have that love
for books that they should and spoke
of the travelling libraries prepared par
ticularly for the benefit of rural
schools and rural school teachers.
Cooperation as practieed between
the school and the library at the
Thompson free library at Dover, was
explained in detail by Miss Nj. e. Az
Grill. the librarian at the Thompson
free library The Matter of Chill
dren's Literature was taken up by
Mrs Mary f. Root. children's libra
rian at the public library of Provi-
denee, r. /. Mrs. Root said that there
was great danger of the boy of to-
day suffering from too many books
and going ON indefinitely reading
books touching the plane of their daily
experience without ever once happen
ing uron q book above his or her level
"A richer and finer development along
all lines is possible for the boy who
has known good books than. for the
bow who has known none or mediocre
ones. Force Your library to shoulder
the responsibility of supplying you
with the books but hold yourself hon
ored that YOU may be the door keeper
to a world, which not only brings to
a child quickened imagination but
widened experience, nests of pleasant
thoughts and ultimately solace and
satisfaction"
Miss Louise w Richards of the
Pennington State Normal school spoke
of the .yalne of The Picture Collec

could be arranged at practically no
cost that would be of great value to
the pupils MANI views and photo

was treated by Miss Marion c. Kicker,
director of Household Arts, Farming
ton State Normal school. The speaker
said that teacher who wishes to keep
in close touch with other subjects
readily finds means of utilizing the
knowledge gained in the cooking and
sewing classes, and using them to add
vantage in her own line of work She
said that arithmetic and geography
were closely associated with domestic
science and that the study of that
branch helped to increase the vocabu-
larry Of the pupil. Manual training
and the household arts are sister sub
jects, since they both concern the
training of the hand. 1t will not be
many years before the education of
girl who knows nothing of the house,
hold arts will be considered deficient
instead of that BRANCH having no place
in the school curriculum"
As fitting close to the proceedings
in this department. Theodore VI. Dill
loway, director of manual arts in Bos-
ton public schools, delivered an adj
dress setting forth the purpose of art
instruction in the public schools. He
laid especial emphasis upon the idea of
eoulating the art work with wood
work, weaving. sewing. costume de-
signs interior decoration, geography
and language. There is need of
more time and attention being given to
the training Of the grade teacher in
art. 50 that pupils will receive proper
instruction" said the speaker. Drawing
in High schools should be compulsory
for pupils electing the normal school
course and more time given 10 art in

concluded his address as follows:
| "Monachism has had its day 1t was
founded upon false conception of

Miss Lolita A. Clark, Instructor of

A IIBELOUS CARD.

IlbELOOS CARD.
A card has been generally circulated
among the voters OF Wheeling. II is
headed, Remember These Council.
men Are Your Enemies" II is SIM
posed TO have been signed and circu.
lated by the Ohio Valley Trades and
Labor Assembly. In the absence Of
any official information that the Ohio
Valley Trades and Labor Assembly
circulated this card. the InteIligencer
refuses 10 believe that il did so.
simply because the card is so full OF
misstatements, absolute falsehoods
and glaring deceits. II is impossible
to believe that any body OF thinking
men informed OF the facts and repre-
sentative OF any important interest
would deliberately have circulated
such n card. The first paragraph OF
the card is as follows:
In n former folder VIC sa'7. NAV 10

The man who wrote that knew il

to Office. Why. therefore. is the
bridge question dragged into the pres
ent councilmanic fight and what bear
Ing has IL upon IL? Isn't the above
Paragraph in fact. n thin attempt to
create prejudice and TO deceive voters?
In another paragraph the card says:
Your city councils gave a franchise
for practically nothing TO the Wheel
ing traction company. when n compet-
ing company was Offering S25O.OOO for
the privilege"
This silly and transparent remark
has been repeated so often that II Is
worth while 10 ventilate il at some
length. The franchise referred 10 was
a renewal OF the old Citizens Railway
franchise. II covered North Main

let us suppose this franchise had not
been renewed What would have been
the effect? The business Of the Wheel

day. aud the transportation service of
the City would have been practically
ruined. and no one would have derived
any benefit from q. The Moundsvillc

School Library.

The Jefferson Public School is
in need of a library. How many
times have | stated this facty
The value of a library can not be
estimated. Text books give the
dry facts, the library adds more
facts, better facts and in more
interesting way. Very, VERY
often the teacher is not a reader,
has no more knowledge than the
examining for a certificate forced
her to have; then how can she
supply needed information with
out library?
The teacher who does not read
and who doesn't encourage her
pupils to read is poor teacher,
and the pupils and patrons are
to be pitied, To teach georg-
raphy, and history successfully,
other books than the text are
necessary.
l hope the Mothers Club will
take an active interest in this
work, and before the term closes
place a hundred classics in the
empty bookcase.

Many people take calOmel to
cure constipation, and it does
cure it for one day, but two or
three days later they are sicker
than ever. That is one of the
after effects of calomel.
That is the reason why the
Rexall Drug Store will not guar
antee calomel to be harmless.
But we do guarantee Dodson s
Liver-TOne to be perfect sub
stitute for calomel. Dodson' S
Liver.Tone will cure constipation

them cured by stimulating and
toning up the liver to do it's work
1t is a vegetable liquid with a
pleasant taste and is harmless to
children as well as to grown peo-

natural methods, does not act sc
strongly as to weaken the body,
but is safe and sure just the
same. You can buy a bottle to.
