“Education is dependent upon books and the ability to use them.” In every business or pro- fession, books are a serviceable tool in the building of success. In the profession of teaching, books are not only a valuable accessory but a prime nec- essity. All sorts and kinds of books are grist to the teacher’s mill. It is impossible to give in a list of this description all the material the library may have which would be of use. Therefore we have included only those books which may be called the teacher’s tools of trade. It is our present intention to issue a supple- ment to this list every September so that each teacher may have a fairly complete catalogue of the books of practical interest to him in the Attleboro Public Library. l TEACHERS’ CARDS. Any teacher in the city, on stating his occupation, .is entitled to two library cards: A personal card, on which he may take — 2 books of fiction, provided only one is a 7-day book. 2 magazines, loaned for 7 days. Any reasonable number of non-fiction. A teacher’s card, on which he may take — As many books of non-fiction and as many pictures as he needs, loaned for four weeks. Fiction is not loaned on a teacher’s card, unless it is for school use. HOURS. The library is open for the distribution of books from 10 A. M. to 8 P. M. Saturdays from 10 A. M. to 9 P. M. The reading room is open from 10 A. M. to 9 P. M. every week-day ; 3 P. M. to 9 P. M. Sundays and all holidays except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and July 4, when the entire library is closed. The children’s room closes every evening at 8 P. M. For further information, please read “Rules for lend- ing books,” in the Quarterly Bulletin. BOOKS OF PRACTICAL INTEREST TO TEACHERS. The letter R. or letters R.S.F. before a book number signify a book in the reference collection.

Horace Mann has said, “Children learn to read by being in the pres- ence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it. And the love of knowledge, in a young mind, is almost a war- rant against the inferior excitement of passion and vice.” We have included in the list below a few books on children’s read- ing and several selected lists of books for children’s reading, recoup mended by various authorities. No one has so great an influence over a child’s reading as his teacher. A book given the stamp of her approval is instantly popular. The library would be glad to loan on any teacher’s card as many books as are needed for a school-room library. Association of collegiate alumnae. .Washington branch, comp.

There will be no need for special “preparedness” when each child is taught from the beginning that his life belongs to the state in the degree that the state may need it, whether it be for peace or war. James Earl Russell, Dean of the Teachers College, writes as follows in an essay on “Education for citizenship”: “A new era lies just ahead and it is our business to get ready for it. What we need in this country is a system of educational administration that shall eliminate the politi- cian; a professional spirit that shall put the public good ahead of per- sonal gain; teaching and school management that shall appreciate rea- sonable law and secure voluntary obedience to constituted authority; and finally, educational leadership that shall concern itself not merely with the mechanics of school-keeping, but also shall rise to the heights of patriotic citizenship.” Alton.
