THE lES'EA'AX
m
From Prof. H. B. McCollum, Supt. City Scioos. Central City, Neb.
In making a icccnt purchase of a cyclopedia for use in our public schools, 1 did a good deal of work in the way of
examining and comparing cyclopedias. In coinjraring Johnson's Univkksai. Cvci.oi'KIMa with the last edition of
Apptetoix's, which I have in my own library, i find it (Johnson's) later than Appleton's by at least ten years, and, especially
on live scientific subjects, sometimes more than that. I also compared it with the International to some extent, and the
result was I purchased Johnson's. The more 1 see of it, the better 1 like it. For school use especially, I consider it
preferable to any I have seen, including ?', Chambers, Library of Unixxrsal Knowledge, International, and
Britannita.
