A PRAISEWORTHY DEPAHT-
URE. -We
desire to congratulate the
Salisbury Graded School upon
the forminr of a magazine club,
notice of which was given in yes
terday's Sun. This is a splendid
departure and is worthy of com
niendation. It speaks largely for
the progressive class of work now
being done at this institute and the
possibilities it may attain. The
school, with the organization of
this club, enjoys it is believed, the
unique distinction of being the
only graded school in. the State,
having this excellent feature.
The plan to keep up the club is
a cheap one, as may have been ob
served.: Each child will contri
bute a few pennies each month and
the parents are urgeoS to assist
them in procuring the money. The
best current literature is to be
furnished for the children to en
courage them to read during their
idle time each day,as well as other
times. Favorable opportunity;
will thus be given the pupils to in:
form themselves upon the current
topics of the day.
The public school building is to
be converted into a reading room
also, after school hours and on
Saturdays, where all of the best
magazines and papers, together
with - the school library, will be
open to the children and the pub
lie generally. The idea is to early
educate the children into the habi
of reading, to cause them in their
childhood days to imbibe a loye
for literature, which ripening with
age will broaden their minds and
make them more useful and intel
ligent citizens.
All who desire to read, too, wil
bee invited and encouraged to visi
their reading room and libraries
so as to be the better able to ap
preciate what is being done at the
school for the training of the chil
dren.
The magazine club is a laudable
institution for the school and as
may be seen Superintendent Coon
'is doing a good work for which he
deserves credit.

A South African Incident
Near the battlefield of Modder
river stood a little farmhouse
amid a clump of trees. Thither
all day le ng the Boers had borne
their wounded. When the battle
was over a correspondent of the
British Y Weekly went to the spot,
curious t j see whether the Boers
had carried away all their wound
ed. The place was ruined by shot
and shell and everything was still
as death J
As the correspondent approach
ed a woman's figure, tall, deso
late looking, appeared at the door.
Speaking in a low voice and in the
best of English, she said:
''There's no one in the house now,
sir, but a (dead man and a little child..

I Entering, the . correspondent
saw a rode cradle with a babe irj
it, and i dead soldier lying on a
bed. dressed in a Boer fighting
garb.

i
said, "lam fortunate, perhaps,

awav with the Boers and leave
her dead husband.

and approaching the bed, she said
":Look at him well. He is one of
