BOOK RENTAL SYSTEM
ENDORSED BY BOARD
State Authorities Believe Life
of School Books Prolonged
By New Plan

ATLANTA, May 2.-The school
book rental system in use in Chat
ham county whereby the board CT
education supplies the pupils with
text books by rental was endors-
ed in a report of a survey made re-
Gently under the direction of the
state department of education. The
report declared that this plan IS
much superior to the pupils pur-
chase and ownership of the books. "
1t was explained that the board
buys the books and retains owner
ship of them, renting them to the
pupils for one years use at less
than cost that the pupils could buy
them from the dealers. At the end
of the year, the books are collected
and distributed to other pupils al
the beginning of the next term.
Under this system" it was
stated, every child brings to the
school on the opening DAY the nee
essary rental money for the books
needed during the entire year,
which also includes school supplies.
Under the teachers direction the
books are we'll cared for and at the
end of the year are accounted for,
This makes the life Of book three
to five years whereas under the
pupils ownership the life Of bo5,.
rarely is more than two years and
sometimes only one. This is an APP
proach to the free text book plan
and is much superior to the pupils
purchase and ownership of the

that he had agreed to pay her 500

case. This agreement, she said, he
had failed to carry out. Judge

the decree on this ground and the

SURVEY TELLS HOW
TO CONTROL. MICE.
Thousands of Valuable Orchard
Trees Killed Annually By
Field Rodents

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Thous-
ands Of valuable orchard trees are
killed by field mice every year
Throughout the United States. Dam
1ge amounting to millions Of dollars
annually is also inflicted by mice
on pasturage, forage, grain and
other crops, and on tubers, small
fruits, Towering plants and shrub
berry. By the use Of proper control
methods much Of this loss might be
prevented, In a ew Farmers Bull
letin, No. 1897, Mouse Control in
Field and Orchard, James Silver, Of
the biological survey, describes the
meadow mice and pine mice which
inflict most Of the damage, and ex-
plains why different control methods
are needed with each species.
The control of field mice in or
chards should be undertaken at stat
ed intervals as a regular feature of
orchard practice, just as spraying is
done to combat insect pests or fruit
diseases. Methods of preventing in
jury in orchards may be grouped in
four classes: Removing mouse
shelter: treating trees with washes
TO repel mice; inclosing trees with
mechanical protectors, and killing
the mice. Mechanical protector;
and clean cultivation around trees
are successful aids to meadow
mouse control, but have very little
effect on pine mice, which do not
rely on surface vegetation for food
or protection.
The two practical methods of de-
stroying both meadow mice and pine
mice are trapping and poisoning.
Field mice are very readily caught
IN strong mouse traps and are usual
ly eXterminated by persistent trap
ping. The labor involved on a large
area, however, makes this method
costly. The use Of poison is by far
the most satisfactory way of con
tlolling field mice. The biological
survey has developed several sue
cessful formulas for preparing bats
and gives these in the bulletin, IT,
gether with directions for distribut-
ing them.
Certain birds and other animals
habitually feed on field mice and aid
lin their control. These, according to
THE bulletin, should be protected as
far as possible. When field mice be-
come so excessively abundant as to
menace the fruit trees and crops of
a whole community, concerted effort
is required to control the situation
Of all the residents. The biological
survey stands ready to assist as far
as possible in the organization Of
any necessary campaign over large
areas.
