A Church-School Library

ONE of Nebraska's successful church-school teachers sends us the following interesting account of his success in starting a library for his school: “Having told you of my plan for a school library, and having received your request for a statement of my success in this effort, I submit the following: While our library is small, we have made a beginning. I laid my plan before the pupils, told them about it, and then wanted to know how it appealed to them. A hearty response being received, we began work. We ordered fifty copies of the Life Boat, and in one afternoon the papers disappeared. A supply of Life and Health was ordered, and disappeared likewise. A small fund was thus raised, with which we have purchased one copy each of the following-named books: ‘Geographical Reader of South America,’ ‘Jack the Conqueror,’ ‘Left with the Trust,’ ‘Martin Luther,’ ‘Life on the Congo,’ ‘Little Will,’ ‘Bible Reader,’ ‘Life of Bates,’ ‘Among the Northern Icebergs,’ ‘Calendar Stories,’ ‘Nature Stories for Little Folks,’ and one packet of drawing cards. Several other books have been given us by pupils and friends. Among them are ‘Children’s Ocean,’ ‘Life of Elder Hill,’ ‘A Transformed Life,’ an Elementary United States History, one set of ‘Golden Grains.’ A cracker box was fitted up for our bookcase, and now many calls are made for books to read.”
