More Bedrooms Possible

The Home Owners Service Institute
calls attention to the possibility Of
altering the second floor plan IN this
house. Three bedrooms and a dressing
room arc located on this floor. Direct
entrance 10 the front bedroom Is
through the dressing room.
I, would be perfectly possible. with
out additional expense, to enter the
front bedroom directly from the hall
by eliminating the small closet OF the
hall and also decreasing the size OF
tho dressing room. making IL approx
mately s.Gxi0. and increasing the size
Of the hall. Then n door can be opened
from the hall directly into the front
bedroom. The architect has designed
the small middle room as a dressing
room. but il would serve equally well
as a sewing room, nursery or den.
Detailed working drawings and speei.

can be obtained from the Home
Owners Service institute. 81 West

WHAT TO WITH WAR STAMPS

War Savings Stamps of the issue of
1918 become due and payable January
LIST. 1923. Registered stamps must be
presented for payment at the office
making registration. The registration
records of the office making registra-
ton therefore they cannot be paid at
another office or through a bank. This
applies only to registered stamps.
stamps that are not registered may
be paid mt any money order office when
presented by the owners and duly re-
ceipted, and the Treasury Department
IS making arrangement with most bank
ing institutions to make payment when
presented to them on or after January
LIST, 1923. This will perhaps be the
quickest way to make collection as most
postmasters Will be obliged to transmit
the stamps to Charleston, w. Va. for
payment, which will require about one
week to get returns.
1t Is advisable for the holders of
registered stamps who wish prompt
payment on 'anuarv 1st to present
them at the office OF registration with
.ir the next ten or fiftecL days where
they will be taken up and an Official
receipt given the owner and payment
will be made direct to the owner or q
designated bank by the Federal Re
serve Bank of Richmond on January
1st
Provision is made whereby a local
bank or other bona flde representative
may present stamps for payment even
when the receipt on certificate has not
been signed by the owner. In this case
application must be made by the owner
ON form WS3857 which must be signed
by the owner of the stamps. This form
is to be used only in case of infirmity
or other sufficient cause Form
WS3357 can be secured from the post
office ut which stamps registered.

SCHOOL LIBRARIES

The greatest thing which the school
can do for the child is to impart to hinf
an Open-mindedness and thirst for
knowledge which will cause him to use
his opportunities to continue his edu-
cation throughout life. The school Is
properly only the Introductory step in
education. The readiest means Of
continuing ones education after school
is by the reading of good books and
periodicals, which contain the accumu-
lated experience of the best thinkers
and investigators and which are avail
able in the public libraries and else
where. Our democracy rests upon
the basis of an intelligent citizenship.
which requires Il reading and thinking
people who inform themselves regard
ing civic problems and decide their
course after careful consideration of
the issues involved. This knowledge
can best be acquired by the thoughtful
Use of printed scOurces of information.
The school should send the boy ard
girl forth with the reading habit al
ready formed.
The practice of reading useful books
his life work, whether that be agricul
turc or business or one OF the pro
LESSONS. 1t will also afford him in
SEPARATION and consolation, and help
him TO meet the problems of life with
equanimity and courage.
1t IS the duty of the school to teach
the mechanics of reading. Beyond
this and yet more important it shouid
teach it's pupils to make actual use of
their ability TO read. The school
should familiarizc the children with
good literature, and should instl il
them permanent habit and love OF
reading. Then they will know how to
obtain information and inspira don
from books under all circumstances.
With this equipment their cducati III
will continue throughout life after the
few brief years Of school are over. The
pupils should learn how to use refer
ence books, and to read as widely as
possible in connection with their stud
les. They should also be taught the
use of the public library. Every Gle
mentary and every high school should
have in its own building suitable col
lections of books and periodicals di-
rectlE accessible to the students The
elementary school library will give the
best service when placed in charge o.
teacher acquainted with library
methods. Every high school library
should be organized and administered
by trained librarian, ranking as n
teacher The school librarian should
instruct the student in the use of
books and libraries. These principles
regarding school libraries are more
and more being put into actual prac-
tice by our most progressive States
and communities

STAMPS SHOULD BE EXCHANGED
FOR TREASURY CERTIFICATES

1t Is TO be hoped that every person
who can do so will exchange War Saw
ings Stamps, soon to fall due for Treas
ury savings certified ties" said Post
master Fred S. Hathaway. The large
DDount of money invested and the great
number of persons who purchased war
savings stamps showed that the people
of this country could save money when
the necessity arose. Now, il they will
take the money they saved when they
bought stamps 10 aid the government
in the prosecution of the war and buy
Treasury certificates. they will dem
onstrate that the thrift lessons of the
war have not been without effect. The
holders of war savings stamps have
seen investments of about S20.5O grow
TO $4,000 i'll five years, and larger
,amouts In the same proportion. They
can see the same thing repeated if they
reinvest i'll Treasury certificates. In
terest accumulates at the rate of 4 per
cent each year, compounded semi-an-
nually. These saving certificates are
exempt from the normal Federal in
come tax. and from all state and local
taxation (eXcept estate and inheritance
taxes), and may be held to the amount
of $4,000, maturity value, for each
issue, by every member OF family.
They are backed by the credit of the
United States Government. and afford
an easy and sure method Of saving."
