READING CIRCLES IN
OHIO EDUCATE MANY;
NOW II YEARS old
(By Associated Press }

COLUMBUS. O., Dec. 20. - The
scope and magnitude of the Ohio
Teachers Reading Circle and the
Ohio Pupils Reading Circle. both OF
which grew from humble beginnings,
is shown in report yesterday by w.
s. Coy, manager of the two. The
teachers circle was orga nized in 1883,
to recommend a number of books each
year, which all teachers, especially
the young ones just starting in, might
read with much professional profit.
Some 5000 to 5000 sets of three books
each, to the total value of $21.600,
were sold this year.
The Ohio Pupils Reading Circle
was formed Is years ago, with the OBJ
ject to recommend to pupils of each
grade in elementary and high schools
a number of best books annually in
the hope that youngsters, in the i'm
questionable years, would be led to
taste for good, wholesome reading.
This year $4,000 to $4,000 pupils
sets of three books each. aggrega ting
$4,000, have been sold. Four years
ago sales only amounted to $500.
Officials of the circles are satisfied
Growth Satisfies Them.
Coy, if all counties were to buy Pu-
pills Reading Circle books, as few
counties do, sales would reach several
hundreds of thousands of dollars a
year.
Banner counties in purchases are
Auglaize, Belmont, Star, Seneca, Mer-
Ger, Muskingum, jefferson, Franklin,
Jackson and Athens, Coy said. Prac-
tically no books go into Highland, Put
nam, Delaware, Adams, Meigs and
Carol counties, according to him.
To each grade every year four books
are suggested. The course calls for
reading any three. When a pupil
reads three books four years in sue
cession, he gets a diploma. For every
years reading after that, a seal is
added to the diploma.
Build Up Libraries
Some splendid libraries have been
built up in many schools of the state
through Pupils Reading Circle books.
The plan recommended and used in
most places is to have boards of edu-
cation pay half the cost of books and
to obtain the other half from pupils
entertainments, box suppers and the
like, or from patrons, parent-teachers'
associations or some source other than
the school board.
Manager Coy takes great personal
interest in the pupils books. Teach
ers, he points out, are old enough to
determine for themselves whether
they want to read the Tea cheers Cir
Gle books. but pupils need assistance.
when reading books are once in
troduced in a school," Coy said" the
pupils will see to it that they are
purchased each year. Seldom does a
school adopt reading circle books and
then drop them"
A large variety of subjects are
touched in the pupils books. from IA
bles to history. Subjects are selected
by board of control, of which Vernon
M Riegel, state superintendent of
public instruction, is chairman.

SCOTLAND DECIDING
''PROHp QUESTION

LONDON, Dec. 29.-voting on the
prohibition question in Scotland has
been going on in the more remote dis
tricts for month or more. and the
final result probably will not be
known until the end of the year.
The latest returns are: 1856 local
tiles for no change in the present
system; "a for limitation of saloon
license, and % for the abolition OF
existing licenses.
W. E. "Pussyfoot" Johnson, the
American dry campaigner, stated
to an interviewer at Bradford the
other day that he was very satisfied
with the results so far, which meant
the closing down of 292 saloons in
Scotland.
Asked how long he thought it would
take to make Britain dry. Johnson
said he believed that England, Ire
land, Scotland and Wales would be
bone-dry in 10 years.
The Cambridge Union, the we'll
known university society, held a de
bate the other day on prohibition, and
voted against prohibition, 211 to 2O3
Toy makers eagerly seized upon the
"pussyfoot" notion for the Christmas
season, and all sorts of toys, dolls and
mechanical devices have been adapted
to the idea.

turn from q six months trip leotur-
ing for the Government. The mo-
ment she saw me and had taken
her diagnosis she said, "You need

put me on fruit and bran diet.
This Is simply the eating Of any

Most OF us sit long hours SO that
the muscles Of the abdomen are
not exercised, and hence we be-
come sluggish In our bodily func-
tions. But large quantity Of veg
etables will prevent this In nat

OF course, the more veg stables
we eat raw the better, because
cooking softens the fibres and also
causes some chemical changes
which are not so desirable. For
example. raw cabbage or raw car
rots eaten in salad form give bet

But she may say that vegetables
do not replace meat In the diet
and that, therefore, It is not fair
to spend the same sum Of money
on vegetables as o: meat. There
are many vegetables which do
serve as meat equivalents. Even
II you ate a whole bunch of aspara-
gus or several servings of carrots
you could make up the slight de-
ficiency in protein by a tablespoon
Of peanut butter or of cheese or q
glass Of milk. The thing for the
woman to do Is to think of vege-
tables not as accessories, but as the
important food Of the meal, ,spe-
cially at this season. Meat will
only serve to clog up the body. to
create q feeling Of lassitude and
make doctors bills.
