and stripes should llout and in
each school there should be plenty
of good books, books selected with
discretion and containing only
such ideas and ideals as will tend
to broaden and brighten the young

A school library is as necessary
and as beneficial as any other
part of the school room parapher

such by the patrons of the schools.
In this respect Buena Vista is
up to the standard. A library was
established h ie in 1890 and there
are now 133 good books at tha
service of the scholars. This is a

standard information so gleaned
will forever be a source of pleasure
and profit to the possessor.
Funds derived from recent
lectures and entertainments here

school library. Let other schools
fall in line in this work. It will
pay them well.
