While the super intendent i - figuratively covered up with 'books, he is still able to oversee the proper distribution of the two thousand books that lie arranged on tables, chair and the floor. The bo.ks. which wih be apport ioned to the sixty districts of the county are the first consignment of the Oregon Lhrary Commission which was constit uted last year. At that time a ten cent tax was imposed on each child, and in Bragg' office can be seen the first bene fit derived from this excellent law. Bacutifully and substantially bound, written by the best writers, and deal ing with subjects that every sohool child should knewthey are of immense value. They deal witHhistory, geography myths and a few heavier subjects, suitable for advanced students. The Commission rules that the dis tribution shaU be in accordance to the school population and therefor La Grande gets about one quarter of the entire lot. The remainder will be distributed on the same basis to other districts. The choice of books for this county was made by Mr. Bragg from a list prepared by the secretary of the commission, Mis Cornelia Marvin, a lady who has estab lished a reputation in the east for ability to choose books suitable for school child ren. While the choice of books for La Grande was left to Prof.. Hockenberry, the books that will be sent to the rural and outlying town schools were selected by Mr. Bragg and Miss Kuhn. With the annual consignment which the commission is to produce, the schools of Union county will ere many years have libraries of actual worth, not the kind that decorate the walls, but ones that contain rnir.es of information and know ledge. The msvement certainly is com mendable. Tne fund which Union county secured for library purpose was $438.54 with an additional $10.84 which the Grange school district subscribed. For this rea son the Grange school gets a trifle larger apportionment than Others. iff m CONVENTION Of VIRGINIA CHURCHES Ccrlpps Nfcors Association) Richmond Nov. 2 The Stat Con vention of th Christain Churches of Vir ginia which commenced on Monday was orot V3 a close last nignt.
