Small libraries have already been establish ed In some of the schools, and the re sults have been so satisfactory that a number of other schools havo ex pressed u desire for the service.

The Shimmell wants a library for the purpose of issuing reading matter to its neighborhood club. The School Roard furnishes the cases for the books, the service is furnished by the teachers, and the books by the library. Miss Eaton stated that she aims to furnish books that will lead the students to an ap preciation of good literature. The range of books selected for each school includes poetry, fairy tales, romance and Action. Between two and three hundred books are now on the way to the library authorities, when additional school libraries will be installed. The size of the libraries range from 35 to 150 books each, according to tho size of school. The popularity of the libraries is attested by the fact that last year they had a cir culation of five thousand, with be tween four and Ave hundred books in use. The work started is a big one, but Miss Eaton started to-day that in the course of a few years she hopes to see every school properly equipped. HXRmSBTJRG TEH7EGIT?
