Library School, the greatest of its

best In the country. Ho has also. had.
' classes in bibliography, reference,
library economy.

hasr served "three years on the board
-of 'trustees of the City Library asso

means a great deal. What Professor

tho high excellence of the exhibition.
The reat of the pictures will be dare
fully selected by Mlsa Cora Parker
from the best New York, Philadelphia,
and Boston artists. It is doubtful

Interesting feature of tho exhibition.

antee to all art lovers- of tho high
character of tho exhibition: Chlldo

and-tho subjects that they will talk
on will bo published as a part of the
art catalogue. No ineanB will bo

entertaining and Instructive. Nebras
ka teachers, of all other people, can
least afford to miss this Exhibit.
Tho. gallery will bo especially attrac
tive, this year owing to tho fact that
the,ABsoclatiqn has assisted in putting
into It a large number ot-moat beauti
ful casts which add materially to the
artistic effect.
Arrangements have been mndo by
which all Of the teachers in atten
dance upon tho Nebraska State Teach
ers' Association can be provided with
Reason, tickets gooddurlng the" -mooting
of tho Association, for60 cents.
When It is known that this is tho.
amount that Is charged for ono ad

the Nebraska State Touchers' Associa
tion. University Journal.

Another matter of some Interest
which was probably taken up was tho
quostlon of tho supervision of tho

regents last April a body of resolu

der the absolute control of a publica
