THE BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE.

Every one knows that DR.. John H.
Finley is one of the foremost educa-
tors of our day. He was President of
the College of the City of New York
until he resigned to become Com
missioner of Education for the State
of New York.
In this position he controls and
dispenses about $8,0OO,00O a year.
Perhaps we could not call up a
higher authority as to the value of
books either for the home or the
school library.
He has gone on record with this
statement
"If boy, say at the age of 10,
were to read the Book of Knowledge
Is minutes day for three years, he
would know more of the earth and
the life on it that the wisest men
knew generation ago"
And that's going some! But what
he meant was this: We know things
and we have done things, we have
made discoveries and inventions that
the wisest men a generation ago only
dreamed of-and the Book of Know
ledge has taken these things and
illustrated them and put them in
such a way that, as one person des-
cribed it, "Boys and girls like it as
flies do honey pot"
If you can keep the young people
away from ice cream you keep them
away from the Book of knowledge.
President Henry Louis Smith, of
Washington and Lee University
said: "Each volume is a gold mine
to the average boy or girl"
Mary Roberts Rinehart wrote =
"They were hailed when they came
with shrieks of delight"
Dan Beard, the founder of the Boy
Scouts of America, said: "Such books
would have been of priceless value
to me when as boy, was starv-
ing for such information"
And so on, to roomful of tes-
timonials from educators and mothers
and fathers and sisters, cousins anG
aunts-all over the world.
Your children want them-of
course they do.
And can you think of any better
Christmas present?

THE ORIGIN OF DIXIE"

Mr.. John W. Campbell, of North
Tazewell, thinks that every body
should know the origin of the word
Dixie" and believes that very few
people do know. He hands us the
following, and suggests that we print
it in the Clinch Valley News. Here
it is:
According to recent researches
the word "Dixie" is a corruption OF
the French "dix," ten. Before the
civil war the Citizens Bank of Lou.
isiana issued $40 bills which were
engraved with the word "dix' on
their backs. Louisiana came to be
known as the "Land of the Dixies ,
and the term was later broadened tc
apply to all of the southland.

"These are the three amendments
on which the people of Virginia will
vote in November. They are base
and fundamental, in that they pro-
vide:
(a) An increased school fund. to
guarantee the right type of instruc-
ton for children.
.(b) A simplificd method of adj
ministration, in order that the dollar
paid in taxes may go as directly as
possible to the benefit of the child
(c) Increased enrolment and reg
u!larity of Attendance, in order that
the tax payer may realize the full
value of his investment, and that the
children of the Commonwealth NAV

especially. This is your first oppor-
tunity to vote and we want you to
make it matter of special atten-
ton to vote and get votes for the
school amendments. Don't let any,
body overlook them. Talk about them.
Explain them. Tell those who have
, not studied them how much il means
to our children for everybody to vote
for these amendments. The consti-
tuition says There shall be Three
trustees for every school district.
This means that in the state of Vir-
ginia there are over eighteen hun
dred officials in rural communities
alons, so many that it is being said
that what is everybody's business is
nobodys business. Buiness men are
asked to run the schools without COM
pensation, which is unfair, and which
means that they do not always take
an active interest Our leaders tell
us it would be much better to have
fewer men and give them compensa-
tion for the service and then expect
them to render the servic needed. So
the amendment provides that there
shall not be more than three (lcav-
ing 1T to future legislation to say
how many there shall be) and Tint
women may serve as trustees. This
This is the amendment that applies
to tho administration of the school
system. The third amendment pro-
vide for compulsory attendance
law. To vote for this amendment does
not mean that you are voting for
compulsory education, but that you
are voting to allow future legisla-
lures to take the matter UP and pass
such laws as they think best to Sc
cure better attendance. In 191S-19
out of school population of 65s,-
OO0 mt more than 478,0O0 were en-
rolled in the schools. The average
daily attendance did not reach 35O.-
600. That means that some 100000
children were either not enrolled in
school or were attending so poorly
as to get little benefit from the
money spent for them.
