then doing them out to the children.
He also said that his home town pro-
vtdes its school children with free sup
fsi4ess.-44t-~ It fftistake, he said, to
believe that children would not take
good care of books that came to them
free of charge. AS a matter of fact,
experience had shown that children
take better care of such books. for
the very reason that their teachers
are frequently cautioning them as to
the necessity of preserving them. Mr..
Spiers believed that the committee
would make no mistake in adopting
the ordinance as presented by Mr..
Fuller.
Chandler Sheds Light.
Much light on the question was
shed by DR.. J. A. c. Chandler, su-
per1nttndent of the Richmond pub
lie schools. who addressed the COM
mittee at some length, going into the
several phases OF the situation as they
suggested themselves to him. The
question of paupers was one to be
considered In many instances. he
believed, 1t would not be possible
TO get parents to swear that they
were unable to buy school books for
their children. though such might be
the case. This idea came to him be-
cause the appropriation of $4,000
recommended in the ordinance would
not be sufficient to buy supply OF
books large enough to accommodate
the demand. He estimated that 1T
would take at least $4,000 to pro-
vide sufficient books for 5000 pupils.
the approximate number now register
ed In the city schools. And that
would be the sum at discount
prices. At the prices now paid
by the pupils, the sum would be
fully $4,000. The Fuller plan, he
said. could certainly not be put In
operation unless the books now in use
were included in the project.
Board Fixes Prices.
DIR. Chandler went on to explain
that the State Board OF Education
adopts the list OF books and fixes
the prices throughout the Common
wealth, and by this system is able to
considerably reduce the price Of books
per child. If the local boards are
allowed to buy books. as provided by
the Fuller ordinance. he said they
would be permitted to buy whatever
books they pleased and at whatever
price they pleased

The requirements of no two fam
lilies are exactly alike. and when a
matter so vitality important as the re-
ouiring of home, a dwelling that has
to be occupied throughout life, it
seems that the house ought to be built
especially to meet the needs Of the
owner
SO there is the third way Of &C
quiring a home, and it is probably the
best. 1t is not to buy a ready made
house. either new or secondhand, but
to have a new house built in just the
location and of just the size and char
acter desired
And with home building conditions
as they are in most localities, this is
an easy thing for the man of average
means to do. For a very modest sum

make specially of designing dwell
ing houses may be secured A de-

HE HAD THEM IN A CORNER
CIergyman's Rebuke to Thoughtless
Youths at Once Neat and
Disconcerting.

A well-known clergyman was one
day in a BARRIERS shop, when four or
five young men walked in whom he
knew by their voices, but who did not
recognize the man in the chair, with
lather all over his face. They pro-
ceeded to spend the time by telling
stories and using expressions which,
to say the least, were rather strong.
When the barber pulled away the
towel the clergyman, clearly shaved,
stood before them. So nonplussed
were they that no one tried to take
the vacant chair, and the barber called
several times-"NeXt gentleman! Next
gentleman"
The clergyman smiled somewhat
grimly as he said:
1T isn't bit of use, John. There's
not a man here who has the effront-
cry to answer to that name"
