To encourage reading and in that
way to develop a taste for good liter
ature, the Superintendent will give to
each pupil who shall read seven books
before next commencement, beautl-
iul Library Certificate. These certlh-
Gates will be given the night OF the
exercises and will be
considered by the teachers and pa
IRONS as an honor conferred by the
school,.
1. The books must be approved by
he pupils teacher.
2. One Of the seven books must be
selected from the Bible by the pupil
,r pupils parents and not by the
eacher. -..5. !
8. The pupil must write with ink a
short story or outline Of book read
md hand it to the teacher.
4. The pupil may secure the DOCKS
wherever convenient.
S. Each teacher will keep a COM
,lete record showing pupils name
lame of author, title, when begun
when finished and all papers submit
ed.

AN spare the space some live pupil
will be asked to furnish these items.
IN a few days, the ninth grade Will
,egin to do experiments in the Physl-
al Geography class. This book prov
ID very attractive to the class last
,ear. Intact, pupil was heard to say
few days since, that she was al
yays anxious for the hour for Physl-
al Geography to come. Experiments
lid it but we must admit that without
| laboratory the work is very incom-
,lete.
A splendid laboratory for High
school work can be had for $l5o'oo'
Now the question is who will aid
IS to raise this amount. 1t is very
much needed and the good citizens OF
his little city could raise it without
ramping any one. Or, better stlli'
,erhaps some one who is able Woula
ike TO give the laboratory to scnool
md dedicate it to some friend or let
he school dedicate it to the glVer.
This is done in many other schools
vhy not here? No more useful monu-
nent could be built. Think OF the
oanv children of today, and days TO
