All the committees appointed to pronaro
for the coming of the Sbriners nro actively
at work and last evening the reports nude
by the various bodies working in harmony
with tbo executive committee showed that
details were well advanced and a big crowd
of Shriners and Knights Templar will bo In
Omaha August Kl 10.
Omaha should tano n lesson from Denver
In the manner of caring for the representa
tive secret socluty of Iho world , for His
qulto within the range of possibility that our
own city will bo a strong candidate for tri
ennial conclave honors In six years , cer
tainly In nine. Courtoslos oxlondod now
will come back to us fourfold In the coming
years and the good pcoplo of Omnha will oo
richer In reputation tb-inovor before through
tliulr offoits made to nrop'-rly ontortuln the
"high rollers" of the Mystic Shrino.
The trantpoitntlon committee last oveninc
reported thai Ihoy had succeeded in securing
n one and one-third rnto for Omaha during
the visit of the Imperial council within n
radius of 2.10 miles , n rale which
they would like lo have re-
tlucod to ono fuie , but which was
antagonized by suvuial Kansas roads. This
rule , however , was mndo upon the Idea that
a rout ) roporllon of tbo crowd to stop oil
hero on tbo days nbovo mentioned would
travel on Knights Tomplnr tickets , but
I Colonel Akin stated that western Iowa and
oven towns In Nebraska would bo laigelv
affected by tbo rate and although not exactly
what they wanted was very mucn better
than nothing , upon the economic principle
no doubt that "half a loaf Is bettor than no
bread. "
Chan man Crumb of the caravan com-
niiltee made a lengthy report which was full
of cheer for the members of the executive
committee , anil showed features that would
prove big winneis on the night of the parade.
Temples ull over Iho country uro preparing
for tbo parade and it .vould not bo surprising
to see , in addition to several oiopnnts , n big
herd of camels add icallsm to the passing of
the caravan.
While money has boon raised to properly
entertain the mcmbois of Iho Myslic
Shrine tbo committee on ways and
means Is not receiving any praaf en
couragement in raising a neccssaiy fund
to take care of the Knights Templar
who will bo the guests of tbo city duiing the
visit of tbo imperial council. People are
slow to make donations for the reason ttmt
\hoy have boon so universally "Ilim-
Ilammed" during the past six months that it
seems adding insult to injury to ask them to
donnto any moio money toward u public en
tertainment. But oven under these discour
aging ciicumstanccs tbo conin.ltloo believes
that when thu number of visitors is definitely
It n own tbo people of Omaha will aid matonnlly
in proporlv ontettalnlne Ihu visitingKnighls

slruu.

Something like two or ihreo years ago
I'rof. Genlrv came to Omaha with a doj !
show. Ho spent a week in this cily. Ho
look bis dogs all over town ono day , walking

That the question as to whether the oubllo
ibrary shall supplement or livul public
chool oduciillon , especially in tbo grammar
grades nntl the two grades next below , is
0110 ot absorbing Interest , and ono \vhtoti
every city of any pretensions will bo called
upon to consider seriously or bo distanced In
the race for education , Is obvious from the
mention which has bnon called to this sub-
cot ull over the country.
As long ago as 1S83 was published a col-
ectlou of addresses which include : ' 'The
Public Library und the Public School , " bv
Jhnrlos Frunrls Adauis , jr. , to the teachers
of Qulncy , Mnss. , "Tho Holatlon of the Pub
ic Library to the Public School , " by Samuel
i. Greoti , librarian of ttio Worcester , Mass. ,

bclonco association , 1830 ; "Ltbraiios as I3du-

Uhodo Island Insti'uto of Instruction , ISsO.
This llttlo volume of ubout 100
: > uees \\oithv of the careful attention of
superintendents and teachers and wore it
widely icad and nltontlvdy considered bv
the latter \vouk' ' no iloubt lovolutionizo and
muko a change for the bettor in the reading
of ouruupils.
The soveial methods by which the public
[ Ibrary and the puolio school may become
complementary to each other are treated of
atsoma length.
Mr. Adams said in olToot ' 'that the most
that any teacher could do was to stait n
pupil on the road to eaucato himself , yet not
ono tuaehor in twenty does this ; the way to
do it is to leavu the niecliiinic.il und consider
ttio Individual , and It is in this pail of odu-ca
tton that tlio public library should become a
valuable uld if the teacher could and would
direct and oveisco the lending of the pupil. "
Carrying out this theory , the public libra
ries in sotno oastuin cl'.ios have giantod un
usual privileges to pupils und teachers. A
"Toacucis Card" has been Issued which
permits tbo owner lo draw soveiul books at
onetime ; the teacher is invited to muko a
personal Inspection of the shelves and cheese
such books as slio thinks proper to uso.
Many of the chlldion bring their cards to
school , the teacher chooses the books to bo
lead , bus them biougbl to tbo schoolroom
and fiom Ihoiii o dibtributes Uiom to the
chlldion.
This uav appears to bo an admirable ono
uuci need not uecessanlnmbairuss any
teacher oven if she bo a poor judge of books ,
for luolibiarians are always ublo and will
ing to help such.
In Mr. U C Mutcalf's ' address ho describes
the mode of procedure in giving what wo
may teiui u lusson In "how to lend. " Mrs.
Whitney's story "A Summer in Losllo
Galdlhwalto's , Life"vabieaa by the cntiro
class who tools u few notes and then dis
cussed the incuts and demerits of the char-
uctois , showing plainly by their remarks
that they had been impressed by the salient
poiuts of the stoiy. This Is good work , only
It seems like wasting peed ammunition on
smallgumo to choo-o such a story for discus
sion when ono chapter fio.n"Los Miserable "
would have glvou them thoughts for u life
time , as toil as the benefit of the discussion.
Not that the stoiy mentioned Is not a pure
and wholesome one , only it could have boon
road by the pupils without any but the
blightesl passing notice. The subjectmntter
of the rending must bo louulatoa by what
the children ate , and yet It scums that even
the veriest dullaid must be sharpened by
the constantfrlctiou of minds which would
bo the result of u continued line of reading
conducted on the above plan.
Last year the Omaha public library sent
to each teacher a catalogue of reading for the
voung and many ot tnem have been returned
to the library in such a state of
newness as to warrant the assumption that
they hud been llttlo used.
'I ho catalozuo is well mudo , the selections
are llrst rate and alluoortwoof explanation
after the title shows exactly what the book
contains. It further contains an index to
periodicals by which this valuable literature
may play its part when its day of freshness
is past.
There Is evidence that the catalogues have
been used by many of the children. Ono
teacher was in the habit of occasionally ask
ing her pupils , "How many of you are read
ing some book now' " or , "What books arc
jou reading I" unit the answers at different
limes , besides a good deal of lighter iicticn ,
included this lUt : "Don Quixote , " "Ivan-
hoc , " "lien Ilur , " "Tho Brldo of the Nile , "
"I'ho Hey Traveler m thn East , " "Blue
Jackets of Ibl2 , " "Conquest of Mexico. "
On the wbolo , the reading of Omaba'a
boys nnct girls , as shown by the records of
the public library. Is commondabio and
shows a steady advance in tbo kind of reading -
ing matter chosen , and this encouraging
state of affairs is owing in agroatmonburo to
tbu enthusiasm und /eal or the librarian ,
Miss Allan , whobo good judgment , tact and
patience bavo led many u littla Omahan
liom the husks of Juvenile literature to the
best at the king'H table.
One fuca is apparent and that is that the
books written especially for boys
aio away ahead of the namhy painby
bluff called "books for girls , " which , with
few exceptions , uio the quintessence of inan
ity . Hero Is a Held for a teacher. Get the
girls to road the boys' books ; vhy notl They
eat the siumi fond ; they study the same lo -
Hons. Indeed ono blight llttlo girl was hoard
to sav thai sba ' 'never took u girls' book
Jrom the libruiv thoie was nothing to 'em. "
1 ho boys know when they have u good
thuiL' and muko constant calls for Maurlco
Thompson's delightful books on outdoor
sports , thuIgzag series of travels in many
lands. Stevenson's "Travels With a Don
key , " Stockton's "Personally Conducted , "
blunlov's travolb In Africa and Paul du
Challlu's adventures in dilTotont countries ,
Gieely's "Wonderful City of TOKIO , " Lieu-
timnnl fcJohivutka's books on the unknown
1101 th , Obor'a tiavols in many counttios ,
Knox's ' excellent soiics on the same subject.
Historical literature Is very popular , mid in
this line eornos the following ll t of superior
boons : Willis J. Abbots United States
series ( six copies of these ara kept going ) ,
Coffin's , Drake's , Towlo's on the samu hub-
ject. Dickens' "Child's Hlstoiy of England , "
C ! A. Ilcnty's choice arriy , Brooks' "His-
toilc Boys. " Bulllluch's "Ago of Chivalry"
" of Fable " "Hobin "
and "Ago , Hood. by
Howard i'ylo , same by .lohn B. Marsh , bid-
noy Lauior's line compilations wuich umoolc
Homo of our finest old literature.
Of course , fiction , which is named
last , comes first ; and hero , with the boys ,
stories of udvontura have preference. Mayno
Held , Maryutt , U II. Dana and many lessor
lights are always asked for.
Miss Alcott's works nro popular with both
sexes. Thirty copies of "Little Women"
are kept In circulation. "Little Lord fount-
jeroy" Is u favorite with a younger oluvs und
twelve copies of this boou are kept. All of
Mis. Burnett's children's stories ara eagerly
sought for. Bodloy books of travel by Horace
ace Scuddor and Palmer Cox. ' * Browiuo
stories , the latter with their taking nud
mirth-provoking Illustrations , are a source of
uuallo\od pleasure. A good inuny of the
girls choose traiby books wrttton for adults ;
tbero U no special reason why the girls
should road the books inado for them , for ,
except au epitomized edition of MU Strick
land' * "iiuoous or HnKlamt. " whloh is nbovo
criticism : "Historic Girls , " by K. S.BrooUs ;
" 'IhoOlru1 Book of Outdoor Sports , " by
Maurlco Thompson ; Mrs. Cuampnoy's Vassar -
sar CiirJ series , whloh does not compare with
the boys' books on a like subject , the list
ends abruptly for the purpose of comparison.
It may scorn odd , when Omaha's rumotonon
from thu ocean Is remembered and consider-
i IK that the Milsouri rlvor Is not extensively
used for boating , that the boys sec in to huvo
a craio on the subject of aulp , yachts and
cnuoei , and in tali conuectlou 11. li. Uana'
"Two Years Before the Mast" is Immensely
in favor. I
On scientific subjaJts , oloctricitv comes to
the front , tnnny of tbo boys being cngaeed in
reading on this fascinating subject and mak-
lnc practical experiments. Natural history
tins its students , the bggfts about birds having
the most readers. Eairy talcs novcr lose
their chirms for the elflldron and we find a
man of Oo-jrg ljbors Btamp recommending
them in terms of the highest praise. Iho
charming narMtlvosi-nf Towle comprising
"Drake , " "Magellan1 , " 'Marco Polo , " "Pl-
7arrc , " "Kaleigh , " nud "Vosco do Oama"
llnd hosts of readers.
An experiment was llil/rtp lately by thollhra-
rlan , which though pioltuctlvo of no tangible
results was worthj.-glj , success and In the
hands of an Interested teacher might have
been the means ofUoing an incalculable
