PUBLIC SCHOOL BOOKS.
The Booxs Adopted for Use in tke
«~Pubhe Schools in Pitt County for
_ the Next Three~Years.
Under a law passed by the last Leg-
islature the adoption of books for the
public schools was taken outT of the
| hands of the State Board of Education
and putin the hands of the County
Commissioners of each county, this
adoption to last fer three years.
~Attheir meeting Monday the Com-
missioners of this county performeT this
duty by adopting without change the
books now in use in the schools which
had been adopted by the State Board
of Education six years ago. We be-
lieve this was wise because it does not
require an additional tax upon our peo-
ple in purchasing other books, which to
say the least of it were no better than
the ones now in use.
The books now being used were se-
lected with great care by a body of men
fully competent to judge as to their
merits.
Besides it prevents any confusion
upon the part of teachers and commit-
teemen as to what books they should
use. ,
Especially is it gratifying to know
that some firms that are largely respon-
sible for the unwise, change in the law
did not get a dingle one of their buoks
in this county.

The following story may illustrate

stepped out and were ascending the
auditorium.
By a misstep ocousioned by some
entanglement of her nether gar-
ments such as. only women can ex-
plain, of whose pedal extremities the
natural functions are thus not in-
frequently and sometimes inexplica-
bly interfered with, she (the bride)
stumbled, and but for the support
of his (the groomTs) arm would baye
fallen.
But, the ~~bearTT or ~o~beast,�* as
some feminine readers of thia true
story will call him, on helping her
to stand uprightly looked at her re-
bukingly and opened his lips only to
say gruffly, oOb, how awkward,
awkward!T accentuating the word
as if all his previous conceptions of
her JovelinessT had now and forever
disappeared, She was -wounded
deeply, notT by the simple, acciden-
tal misstep that hadnearly prostrat-
ed her, but by his lancelike expres-.
~sion. . :
It was oYat g short walk from its
doorway up through the center aisle
to the chancel of the church, but the
bride, moving leisurely toward it
witb her ill grained escort, was look-

ing priest and decorative garlands.
The train of thought which ber be-
trastfulT womanTsT feelingsT in the
most blissful hour of: ber life, what |
would probably be, his treatment of
her after marriage?
~Her mind was made up beforeT ~she
reached the chancel railing. ~She
stood there without a tremor. She
heard the efficiating clergyman ask
the bridegroom, ~~Wilt thou have
this woman to thy wedded wife, to
live together after GodT s ordinance
in the holy state of. matrimony?�
eto,.. She heard him answer, in a
voice that. seemed ,to her as lacking
the tone af decision, ~1 will�?
Then came the supreme, test of
her heroism. The clergyman had
scarcely ended .his repetition of the
question, o~Wilt thou have this man
to thy wedded husband?TT: ete, be-|

when Robert Fulton offered to make

the apostle of acience; friend of
Monge and Volney, member ofT the
