light. In conversation widi teachers
whoso schools have alroadv com-

Silling for less than half the cost, un-
der the old law. In another article I
will give the experience of patrons
who have bought under the new law.
Two or three men have already told
me that their text-book bills were
smaller this your than heretofore, al-
though a complete set of books were
bought this year; whereas under the
J old regulation, the children generally
had about half a supply of the tieees-
| sarv book* already on hand.
I htm also canvassed many teach-
ers on the merits of the books adop-
ted, and while there are a few objec-
tions, the books are very favorably
spoken of. Even it they are not tho
very best, they are infinitely better
than tho average scries now in use lu
many of our country schools.

THE ^CME STEAM L-4UNMY
♦— ——♦
A Laundry Is ons of the places of business that turn some queer
freaks, and some things that are amusing. We have heard of every
deBcrlptlou of articles—diamonds, boots and shoes, and numerous
other things found in bundles of soiled clhothes when opened at the
laundry. One day last week the telephone gave a frantic ring. I an-
swered It promptly, and the following controversy took place:
"Helol Is this the A.cme Steam Liaundry?"
''You bet your life!"
''Are you sure this Is the inaln office of the A.coae?"
"Yes: you can bank on It as well aa you can on tho United States
nauy."
"Well, Mr. Houston took away my laundry this morning; amonirst
it he also took awa>-my dog."
This was a poser. I denied, but the party Insisted so, that I took
the matter up. I went to the marking room, looked up the bundle
and had It opened, Judge ray surprise when I came to the center of
it to find snugly and oontented a little 2x9 dog. Well, this stumped
me. I sent It home at once without shrinking, and the owner was so
overjoyed that he now gives us all his linen suits and under clothes,
as well as shirts, collars and cufft. Give us a trial,{but to avoid acci-
dents, keep your eyes on your dogs when Houston ealls for your
laundry

Teachers' Circulating Library.
Last year the teachers of Milam
county organized a teachers' circulat-
ing library association aud the effort
so far has proven a success. Altho'
the Horary is still small, (about *25
volumes), it has been extensively read
by the members and has resulted iu
much good.
Constitution and by-laws have been
adopted, which, among other things,
provides that the library shall be kept
by the county superintendent iu his
office. It also provides for a standing
executive committee, whose duty it
shall be to have general supervision
ot the buying of books, etc.
The following plan has been adopt-
ed lor securing books for the library:
Each member is expected to pay
small annual fee to be used iu the
purchase of new books. Ail teachers
in the county, all ex-teachcrs and
other persons who are interested in
the welfare and advancement of the
teaching force of the county are asked
to donate or loan such suitable books
as they may have to the library asso
ciation. Books loaned are subject to
the rules of the association, but will
be returned to the owners at the end
of two years. Persons leaving the
county are allowed to take their
books with them.
We ask all to help us. We believe
many books of great value to teachers
would be accessible if their owners
only knew they were desired. We
assure all who assist us, either by a
gift or a loan, that the books will be
properly cared for. Gifts of periodi-
cals will also be accepted. Later we
will publish a list of our books.

Mamma—Now, how do you spell

Elsie—The same way, only in lit-

It has been suggested that the
teachers of the county have an exam,
iuatiou day a week or two oefore
their respective schools oyen. On
this day, the teacher may examine
and classify the uhildreu aud give a
list of the necessary text books, thus
giving the children plenty of time to
properlv supply themselves with the
necessary adoated books br the first
dav of school. The teacher ciuld
also tnko this opportunity to meet the
patrons and secure their co-opera-
tion by cxpltiining her plans, etc.
Many people would readily help a
teacher it I hey only knew what they
were expected to do. Tho average
citizen is zealous for tho welfare of
the school and would willingly pro-
mote it. Another advantage to be
ierlved from such a meeting would
be thin Every child could m<o from
tho iit-t, of hooky, placed in his hands
jiift what the looks will co t, and a
lim e per cint of these chiluren will
dc\ it i! n plan by which the books may
be procured. An average boy can
earn enunyh in i>.<> or three days by
piektn<r eotlen to j>ny 1 <.r till supplies
tor an entire term. C> O. M.
Have parents ever considered what
good they do and what assistance they
are to ti school and teacher when they
promptly.a:ul punctually tend their
children to school on the opening day
and thereafter—or ou a previous day
set by the school authorities for a
prelini'imry examination? Children
me growing material which a teacher
cultivates. To secure the best results
in the greatest number this material
l« divldi.d into clas.se; or grades ac-
cordiug to a certain standard. Every
d■ i\ koiiio improving work in done,
some nnv growlh made by the mate-
rial in each grade. Each day's im-
liroveioeiit requires all the preceding
"s u ork for foundation. One slage
of growih canuot be reached before
passing through those leading to it.
A dwarfed plant in proportion as it
calls for a'i untimely aud excessive
care from the gardener tends to de-
tract from the cultivation of its state-
lier brethren.
A fellow repeatedly told me he was
very anxious to send his 17-year-old
boy to school five months. * He ez>
plained that the boy could board at
home aud bad a necessary supply ot
clothes, but had no money with which
to buy books, pay tuition, etc. After
meeting the man several times and
hearing the same story, I told him I
knew a gentleman in the neighbor-
hood who would pay his sou $15 for
a mouth's work, and explained that
the wages would pay lor tuition,
books and other necessary expenses
for the four remaining months. The
fellow never spoke to me again about
sending his boy to school. He want-
ed to pose as a friend to education,
but my plan showed clearly his insin-
cerity. C. O. M.

The Country School Teacher.
The requirements of the country
teacher are not numerous. She must
be a primary, intermediate, grammar
grade, high school teacher combined;
she must be able to build fires; adjust
fallen stovepipes, put iu wiudow-
panes, sweep, dust, split kindling,
drive a horse, keep out of the neigh-
borhood quarrels, know how and
when to whip a bad boy, understand
the school laws, raise money tor libra-
ries, keep all kinds of records, plant
trees on Arbor Day, be of good moral
character and pass examination in all
branches of education. For these ac-
complishments she receives thirty
dollars a month. Thiuk of a girl get-
ting that salaryl Out of this she pays
her board, buys her clothes, attends
the summer Reboots, buys educational
papers aud books, attends couuty
conventions aud buys slate pencils for
the pupils. What is left, she adds to
her bank account, or starts a bank if
she prefers. Uulcss something Is
done to reduce the wages, school
teachers will havo a monopoly of
woaltli of the country, and we shall
tiud in our midst a labor organization
which will menace our free institu-
tions and enslave our taxpayers.—

Order is the adaptation of means to

both means aud end. The more defi-
nite this knowledge the more certain
and beautiful the order. Organising
a school for work is an end. The
means to accomplish it include a num-
ber of necessary, consccutive steps.
