AUTOMATIC BOOK-CLAMP.

[graphic]

The advantages of this Clamp over any others in the market are:

Ist. It is Self-Closing.
2d.-It Secures and Releases
the books instantaneously.
3d. It contains Pencil-Case
for Penholder, Slate Pen-
cil, and Lead Pencil.
4th. It is highly Ornament-
al.

No. 1.-Length, 10 inch., $4 per
doz. Japanned.

No. 2.-Length, 13 inch., $6 pe doz. Nickel-plated.

The simplicity of the operation of this clamp commends it at once, particularly in view of the ease and facility with which the books can be secured or released. The addition of the pencil-case is a very neat contrivance, which, while it adds nothing to the weight or bulk of the clamp, it materially increases its usefulness. Its ornamental appearance is apt to create a favora ble impression.-The American Stationer.

The Automatic Book-Clamp is well worth the attention of buyers of school material. The handle is a metal tube securely fastened to the wooden clamp, and inclosing a steel spring, which winds up the cord, making the clamp self-closing. An easily managed slide-catch in the handle fastens the spring and securely holds the books in the clamp, and a handy case for pencils is cut into the wooden plate without adding to size or weight. The clamp is very neat in appearance, and the most convenient article of the kind we have seen.-American Bookseller's Guide.

Buying School-Books.

THERE are two classes of intelligent people who ought certainly to live in brotherly unity with each other-the teachers and the booksellers. They are interested in a common cause, fellow-workers in the promotion of education and culture. The school and the bookstore can not wisely get along one with out the other.

little money.
This does not hold true, even
from the commercial point of view alone, for
many books cost thousands of dollars in their
preparation before printing begins, where others
cost virtually nothing.

It seems strange that teachers themselves, who ought to set the public right in this matter, are the very ones who keep it wrong. That book is cheapest to them which, at a reasonable But very considerable evils have crept into price, best serves their purpose in teaching. the selling and buying of school-books of late But this absurd system of discounts has diyears, of which we wish to speak frankly. Let verted attention from the real comparative it be confessed that these evils arose from values of many text-books to the prime questhe selling side chiefly; on the other hand, they tion, "What's your discount?" The changing are continued primarily through the influence of text-books every year or two, as some fresh of the buying side. The bookseller and the publisher offers better inducements, is exceedteacher ought to join hand-in-hand in promot-ingly detrimental to the welfare of schools; ing a wise selection of books; for this is one of the most potent ways of influencing the tone and prosperity of any given community. It must be said that neither of them always do their full duty in this respect; but in this educational catalogue, confessing our own sins, which have been largely forced on us by the evils we deplore, we want to have a candid word or two with our friends, the teachers.

The cardinal principle in book-buying is to choose that book which will do you most good, whether its office is to delight or to instruct you. The price of a book has two elements in itone commercial and one mental. As children grow up into book-buyers, they need to be taught this discrimination, now too often over looked. A cheap book is not simply a book that has a great deal of paper and ink in it for

[ocr errors]

and this whole system makes the teacher less discriminating, and therefore less valuable as an educator, and vitiates his influence upon his community.

It is, of course, easier to talk about this thing than to point out the remedy. Teachers are not different from human nature in general, and feel that they must buy where they can buy cheapest. That is certainly all right, but let them remember what cheapness means. They don't buy cheaply when they buy for nothing, for that is at the cost somehow or other of honesty; they don't buy cheaply in encouraging chicanery, for that is at the cost of honor, they don't buy cheaply when they buy poorer books for less money, for that is at the cost of their influence as educators; they don't buy cheaply when they buy cheaper than their local

bookseller can, for they are starving out of town the feeder of that very culture which gives them their living. It is at once said that teachers must demand discounts because the prices of books are made higher to cover them. That is in some respects true, but the way to cure this is to exert a public opinion that will put down the discount competition altogether. Let them ask the publisher for a fair, square price, and then judge the value of his book on an honest basis. And let it be remembered here that paper and ink is but a part of the actual commercial cost of a book to any dealer; as the Tribune lately said: "The splendid series of school books, with which we surprised the world at Vienna, cost their publishers much more than the paper and ink they were made of-although some of the Western legislators are disposed to buy oil-paintings for the cost of the canvas and the oil." That it would be much better for the teacher's interests in the long run to buy of his home associate, the local bookseller, it is scarcely necessary to add.

tional interests at the Centennial, the Bureau has made the following classification of the data it desires supplied:

"Class 300.-Elementary instruction: Infant schools and Kindergarten, arrangements, furniture, appliances, and modes of training.

"Public schools: Graded schools, buildings and grounds, equipments, courses of study, methods of instruction, text-books, apparatus, including maps, charts, globes, etc.; pupils' work, including drawing and penmanship; provisions for physical training.

"Class 301.-Higher education: Academies and high schools.

"Colleges and universities: Buildings and grounds; libraries; museums of zoology, botany, mineralogy, art, and archæology; apparatus for illustration and research; mathematical, physical, chemical, and astronomical courses of study; text-books, catalogues, libraries, and gymnasiums.

Class 302.-Professional schools: Theology, law, medicine and surgery, dentistry, pharmacy, mining, engineering, agriculture and mechanical arts, art and design, military schools, naval schools, normal schools, commercial schools, music.

Buildings, text-books, libraries, apparatus, methods, and other accessories for professional schools.

Class 303.-Institutions for the instruction of the blind, the deaf and dumb, and the feeble

It is hardly necessary, we suppose, to remind the committee appointed at Niagara of the shortness of the time left them to make prepa-minded. rations for the book representation at the Centennial. American literature has been rated so low in all time by foreign nations, that it becomes doubly necessary that all pains should be taken to make our exhibit at Philadelphia as complete and thorough as practicable, that the little we have done in our first hundred years may not seem less than it really is.

THE good work the Boston Public Library has been doing latterly in bibliography seems hardly generally appreciated. It is the embodiment in its monthly bulletins of suggestions guiding inquiring readers in the choice of books, and pointing out works treating of topics of general interest, but which the non-literary student would scarcely know where to seek for. In the latest issue much valuable and timely help is thus given on Centennial reading, so much sought after at present, and which it would almost seem a duty of librarians (if librarians were not already overburdened with duties) to aid. The Boston Library is fast becoming the fountain-head of American bibliographical information, for which it should win the gratitude of the whole reading community.

Educational Interests at the Centennial. THE Centennial Commission having assigned to the National Bureau of Education at Washington the charge of supervising the preparations for a representation of American educa

"Class 304.-Educational reports and statistics: National Bureau of Education; State, city, and town systems; college, university, and professional systems. "Class 305. Libraries: History, reports, statistics, and catalogues.

"Class 306.-School and text-books: Dictionaries, encyclopedias, gazetteers, directories, index volumes, bibliographies, catalogues, almanacs, special treatises, general and miscellaneous literature, newspapers, technical and special newspapers and journals, illustrated papers, periodical literature."

And in its "suggestions respecting the preparation of material," "it makes the following recommendations:

APPARATUS AND APPLIANCES.

"These should consist of Kindergarten 'gifts' and all the materials for illustrative instruction and object-teaching, and for scholars' work in infant schools and Kindergarten; also model samples of every kind of apparatus requisite for teaching, in the ungraded country school and in the graded village or city school, the rudiments of natural history, physics, chemistry, and geometry; specimens of apparatus for the more advanced teaching of the same branches in high schools and academies; globes and maps, the same in relief; maps with special regard to orographical, hydrographical, topographical, climatographical, ethnographical, historical and statistical particulars; collections and pictures for geographical and historical instruction of different grades; charts and tablets of every kind used in elementary and secondary instruction; atlases, slates, writingbooks, drawing-books and cards, copies, examples and models for drawing, wire and plastic models for teaching projections and perspec
