It is not often that school officers meet with an opportunity like that presented by 

 J. D. Farquhar of Chicago, by which they can secure for their own or school library some 

 of the best library books published, simply by shipping him their useless school books — 

 useless because they have probably accumulated in such numbers as to become more of a 

 burden than otherwise, in that they occupy library space which might be filled with good 

 reading books, such as would be in continual use. Mr. Farquhar has demonstrated the 

 practicability of exchanging these school books for library books, and offers, without ex- 

 ception, some of the best works now published for libraries. Merely by spending a little 

 time in sending your books to him any one can secure, without expense, books which it 

 might be inconvenient or impossible to buy when needed. We take pleasure in recommend- 

 ing this plan to teachers and school officers, and it is indeed gratifying to see the responses 

 which these transactions bring from those who have already taken advantage of the offer.
