Young Peoples’ Reading Circle

The Tuung Peoples’ Reading Circle is .organized fqr the benefit of the school children of the state. Its object is to create,a desire for, and to furnish good books at the lowest possible cost. The books are-selected by persons well qualified to judge the needs and wants of children iu the school robin. They are adapted to the Third, Fourth and Fifth Reader grades. Teachers will be furnished blanks and are requested to present the matter to pupils and patrons and urge upon them the necessity of suitable reading. No membership fee.will be charged. If the members of the school dq not feel like inveoting in the books, let the teacher, with the aid of the pupils, purchase b complete set of the books and keep them as the property of the school and thus form the nucleus of a school library, to which . can be added books and magazines from time to time. The pupils and patrons will cheerfully contribute and by this means every school in the county can in a few years have in its possession a vast amount of useful information, impossible to obtain in the present situation

To the teachers, and patrons J. appeal in behalf of the pupils of this county. Aid us in this matter and I am sure you will feel amply repaid for your efforts. Your Servant,

J. F. WARREN.
