From Prof. H, B. MeCollum, Supi. City Schools, Central City, Neb.
In making a recent purchase of n cyclopedia for use in our public schools, I did n good deal of work in the way of
examining and comparing cyclopedias. In comparing Johnson's I'mmuvM. I'ui l'l tt. with the last edition of
Appleton'ty which 1 have in my own Horary, 1 find it (Johnson's) later than App.'eton' by at least ten years, and, especially
on live scientific subjects, sometimes moie than that. I also compared it with the International to some extent, and the
result was 1 purchased Johnson's. The more 1 see of it, the better 1 like it. Kor school use especially, 1 consider it
preferable to any 1 have seen, including Appleton's, Clin tuber's ; l.in .try 'nirerwl Knowledge, International, and
Jiritanniea.

Gentlemen; I he next fen years will witness n great change in educational ideas. The possibilities of self-culture
nic to he emphasized, and the means of aid and direction increased. After a careful examination of "Johnson's Universal
Cyclopedia," I nm convinced that while it is excellently adapted to the needs of professional and 'business men, it is
eminently useful to the earnest, thorough self educator. This work, with its corps of contributors, offers accurate articles
