The Dickens' Social.

The Dickens’ Social and Entertainment, to be given on next Monday evening, March 29th, at the Opera House, by the teachers aiid pupils oFthe High School, is an affair that shouldbe freely and liberally patronized by all concerned in the education of the rising generation, andAspeciaHy by thbse who hfcve: children ing school. Our school is in great need of a good, extensive library, and it is our purpose in making this effort to build up such a library that will be a credit to our school, and that will result in much good. If we can succeed in creating a desire in the pupil for good, choice literature, and make him passionately fond of standard authors, such as Gibbon, Hume, Macaulay, Bancroft, Motley, and Prescott, as historians; Shakespear, Milton, Pope, Dryden and Longfellow, as poets; Scott, Thackeray, Dickens, Irving, Cooper, as novelists, we will have accomplished far more than to instil into his mind a few mathematical principles, and give him a smattering of astronomy, algebra,- latin and zoology. A school course is, of course, necessary; it can be accomplished without the literary part. We desire, however, to accomplish both the school and the literary course. It is for this reason, we are so desirous of making considerable money, so that a full collection of all the standard authors can be purchased at once. Every cent made at this social and entertainment, baring the few incidental expenses, will be expended for books.

The library thus begun will be increased each year, and in the course of four or five years, we will bare such a collection of books as will speak volumes for our school and people. If favor u^. ; with your presence on next Monday evening, and do all you can towards making this enterprise a grand financial success. Respectfully, F. W. Ruebelt.
