They were the predecessors of the modern textbooks and were used because at that time school books could not be ,,produced in sutrtcient quantity and cheapness to supply the needs of the general public. The Original Hornbook, A hornbook, in point of fact, was not a book at all. . Originally IC was - a piece of board with a handle shaped like the battledore in the olds genie of tum or paper on which the lesson was inscribed. This was protected by a sheet of translucent horn, which was necessary to keep the lesson from a Passible stain by a pair, of dirty little hands, as the hornbook was passed about from child' to child. • A hornbook is' one of .the rarities of the history of education upci the find- ing' of nd-ing-of one in considered important. It is rather remarkable that so few hornbooks are extant. Tho British Museum has only three, and the Bod- leian Library at Oxford only one. There are several single specimens in private libraries 10 the United States. The best examples have been found in England. Shakespeare doubt- less oubtless learned his• lessons from a horn- book. In Love's Labor Lost he says: "Yes, yes, he teaches, boys the Hornebook; Which isab shelled back- wardwith the hora ou its head." - Had Many Variations. The cdnventioual type of hornboolc had many variations. One, for in- stance, is a kind of double hornbook. The alphabet and the rest of the les- sons were on one side, but unfortun- ately that has been last. Upon the re- verse side is the abacus, a primitive device for .counting and making change, which is' still used throughout the East. This particular hornbook is ...especially interesting because it was used in the famous B1ue Coat School _,,t of -London. - A picture of Charles II. on horse back on the' back of a hornbook made of wood, but bound in leather, shows that it' carie' from tha berRida Tltb elaborately carved English oast which was used as a frame suggests the richness of the Elizabethan period, from which it dates. All hornbooks were not made of wood covered with horn, but no Matter what was the ma- . terial used they were known as horn- books. A New York collector has one of brass, dated 1664, and another of copper o4 a later period. Another spechnen is called the "golden horn- book" because its letters were printed in gold. Hornbooks sometimes appeared in gingerbread form. About this type Matthew Prior, who died in 1721, had lhis to say: 'To piaster John the English Maid A hornbook gave of gingerbread, and that the child may learn the bet- ter All he can name he oats the letter." -Down through the centuries the hornbook modified -its form,' finally losing it's handle. When paper and print became more available card- board A, B, C's grew in popularity. The first A, B, C book In manuscript was written about 1870. It begins with a cross, followed by the alphabet. Tho alphabet indicates its early period, for the first letters are Eng- lish and the last are SaXon, Hot and Cold "Water. Habit is a curious thing. Ono man takes a big drink of ice water before he goes' to bed. Another swallows a glass of hot .Water. Both are after comfort, The ice water paralykes<all stomach action for half en hour or longer. The hot orator stiniuiates stomach action and draws the blood from the brain, thereby inducing sleep. It is worth while to learn to like hot water. It is more satisfying than cold. The farmer Jolts the digestive pro- cesses, the latter pleasantly promotes them. And Many a time, the doctors say, when a person craves very cold .water what he really needs is hot water.
