Tho 400 teachers who enter upon their
labors havo returned from vacations spent
in Europe, In the Rockies, nlong the Great
I,ales and at the Atlantic coast resorts
At 9 o'clock tomorrow morning order will
be rnpped In thirty-five schools In Omaha
nnd tho work discontinued In June will
bo resumed with Increased lpor.
, Hot Weather llelnjn OpriiliiK.
The schools open two weeks later than
usual this year, the change having bcon
made on account- of tho extremely hot
weather In early September and repairs
on different buildings which were not com
pleted September 3, On account of this
delay the vacations will bo shortened that
tho thirty-eight weeks of school may end
before midsummer. Tho holiday vacation
will begin December 22 and continue until
December 31. lieglnnlng March 31 there
will be a vacation of elghi days and school
will close June 21.
Although the school attendance for Inst
year was greatly In excess of 15,000 nt
different times, that was the numbor of
pupils who were enrolled at the closing In
Juno nnd Superintendent 1'enrse believes
that tho enrollment for the first few weeks
will not exceed that figure.
The corps of teachers Is practically the
same as last year and but few changes
havo been made In the work. The only
real Innovation In the course of study Is
tho change In the commercial department
of tho High school. A special commercial
course of four years will be offered. Stu
dents will bo trained In huslness practice

tlons In tlie commercial world.
Two new schools will be opened tomor
row, Saunders school at Forty-first nvo

Forty-eighth and Walnut streets. The
Saunders building Is a handsome new brick
structure containing ten rooms, but only

schools. Three two-room framo buildings
which formerly wero used by tho old
schools havo been removed to tho new site.

In naming the two now schools the Hoard
of Education followed tho precedent estab
lished by formor boards. The schools
stand as monuments to Governor Saunders
aud S. I). Heal, two representative Ne
braska men. In other cities tho names of
famous men nre given to school buildings
regardless ot any local associations. In
Omaha an effort has been made to name
tho buildings according to their locations
or in honor of men who have been nssocl-
nted with Omaha. A few of the buildings
bear the names of prominent statesmen,
such as Lincoln or Sherman, but the schools
were given theso names because, thoy nre
located near Lincoln boulevard and Sher
man avenue.
Train school was so named because It Is
located In a portion of the city which
formerly belonged to Oeorge Francis Train.
Long school was named In honor of Eben
K. Loug. Saratoga school stands on the
site of the old village of Saratoga and
hence Its name. Clifton Central Park,
Druid Hill and many other schools take
their names from tho additions In which
they are located. Omaha schools have not
been named indiscriminately In honor of
famous men, as is tho caso In most cities,
Vinton school has been enlarged this
year by the addition of a two-room frame
building moved from tho Comcnlus site.
The additional rooms will bo UBed to ro
lluvo tho crowded condition of tho grades.
Tho annex which formerly stood ou tho
old Davenport slto has been removed to
the. Dupont school and converted Into one
large room, which will be used as a
klndergarton.

TRUST BORROWERS FURTHER
Public Library Board Considering Issue of
Two Books on Ono Card.
BOOKS IN BYRON REED ROOM CATALOGUED
Mrcl Ciisrn Provided fur One iiliili-
a ii ,1 Volumes Which Hail llcen
Moivcil Ami) Wherever Splice
Conltl lie Found,
Tho public llbrnry hoard is considering
whether It would bo wlso to put more
trust In book borrowers to double tho
power of the yellow library card. The
plan is to issuo two books on ono card
!' the patron so desires, each governed
by tho usual time limit and privilege of
renewal. An Important provision, how
ever, Is that only ono ot the books Issued
shall bo from the fiction shelves, tho other
to bo of a more sober sort. It Is believed
that In this way tho reading of more sub
stantial works will bo encouraged and the
public tsto directed to hlghor things.
Just now n largo share of books in cir
culation aro fiction.
Tho librarian and her assistants havo
many applications from patrons who want
two books, but aro only supplied with one
card. For a tlmo tho attendants wero In
the habit ot lend lug their own cards to
such applicants until finally such a bene
ficiary allowed a largo fine to nccumulato
which she steadfastly neglected to pay.
Such Indulgence Is now against tho rules.
The practlco of lending two books on ono
card Is common In most largo libraries
and the reading ot high class literature
has been stimulated, Tho projoct Is now
in tho hands of a committee of tho llbrnry
board, which will report at tho ucxt meet-
lug.
A plan has been agreed upon between
the librarian nnd tho chief of tho lire do
partment which will put a book Into the
hand of every young man with a red shirt
A catalogue will bo placed in each engine
house und a fireman will bo delegated to
carry tho lists to tho llbrnry In working
hours, bo that no no of tho firemen's ab
brevintcd "offs" may be affected. Tho
books will bo charged to each company
nnd may bo kept from tho shelves for ouo
month. Chief Hedell Is strongly In favor
of tho Idea nnd belloves that the IOC fire
men In tho service will find better occu
pation for their time than iu sitting Idly
In front of their company quarters. Tho
llbrnrlan has written to tho captain In
charge of each houso nnd has received
encouraging responses.
Tho llbrnry nttendants havo finished tho
exhausting labor of cataloguing each book
In tho Hyrou Heed room and havo virtually
opened up to tho public that raro fund
of Information. Tho collection Is especially
strong In data pertaining to tho great
northwest territory. Thero aro also anti
quarian gems published at tho beginning of
the century nnd within the decudo prior
to 1S0O. Theso mostly pertain to travols
In western America, and, while the Informa
tion Is sometimes Inaccurate, the works
are priceless as an Index of the times
Tho department of numismatics Is also well
stocked, as Is natural In the library of
such a collector as Mr. Heed. Tho cata
logue cards are made out In duplicate,
ono set being deposited In the Heed room
and tho other In the largo catnlogue case
on the main Hour.
Such additions as tho record of the Ilyron
Reed collection has made It noccaiary to

enlarge the lard catalogue and the Lbnirv i
board has npproprla od Ill" fur this i ur
pose. The card catalogue alriad) inrriiMi
the record of riu.Ono volumes and the addi
tion will allow the insertion of 2.".inii) more
enrds. Tho catalogue Is coining to be more
fully understood by tho public und is in-
ct casing in usefulness every day. L'nder
Its proper letter each book Is described
as to Its title, author and general char
acter. The scope covered by the work nnd
tho mtiln principles enunciated nre also In
cluded In many case., so that the patron
may select the Identical sort of reading
ho doslies. The librarians have so far been
limited as to space, but will now bo able
to udd to tho Information regarding availa
ble books. The card catalogue Is coming
to repluco to n largo extent tho old-fashioned
book catalogues issued m.mlhly and
then frequently behind tho times. In the
card catalogue a book may bo added or
taken away at a moment's notice.
Another Improvement which the Increas
ing t ruflle at the library has inado neces
sary Is a set of steel cnsis. For months
the librarian has needed book spaco for
1,000 volumes and In the meantime tho
books havo been wedged Into tho shelves
or piled on the floor. Tho deficiency was
ctpccially marked In tho reading room,
where scores ot patent ofllco reports, draw
ings nnd specifications havo had no shelter
from the dust and wind. Theso documents
are iu surprising demand and their un
dignified positiou on the tionr has caused
much delay. Thlb congestion will bo en
tirely reliotcd and inch book will havo Its
own fixed ond proper place.
With tho opening of tho schools all the
substations will bo In wurklng order, with
a number of additions. At tho West Sido
and Central I'ark schoolo new stations wtll
be fixed und a number of books taken to
each building. Theso two stations will not
bo for tho benefit of children alone, but
mny ho taken ndvantago of by the general
public. Any patron may borrow a book nt
the substntlon and return it nt tho library
downtown, or vlco versa. Special lists
calling for favored books may bo sent In
by tho attendant, who will carry them out
on tho next trip. Tho rules as to time
limit, penalties, etc., will be the samo as
for tho main library.
Tho attendant In chargo nt each 8"hnol
will arrive as the children aro dismissed
nt 3:30 o'clock nnd remain on duty until
G:30. The visits will occur onco n woek,
Thursday at West Sldo nnd Friday nt Cen
tral I'ark. The consignment of books first
tnken to the schools will consist mostly of
fiction, travel and tho more popular scien
tific works. As any particular tasto is
manifested, however, tho supply will bo nt
once conformed to It,

No more positive proof of the material
prosperity of n community can bo cited
than when Its churches ure found to be
in a nourishing condition. Clergymen, who
nro pi one to disagree upon questions of
dogma und creed, never fall to agree upon
one point of common knowledge and that tn,
that tho church Is the first to feel the
blight of business btagnatlou and hntd
times nnd, revet tel1 It takes on new lifo
and vigor when business conditions nro
on tho up grade. Omaha minlstets nro a
unit in expressing their belief that affairs
pertaining to tho churches wero never more
satisfactory than nt the present tlmo nua
thete Is not one of the wearers of the
cloth In this city but who readily ndmltB
ho could pleach a sermon with tho texC
dioson from Cardinal 1 of the republican
national platform and it would be tho
single word, prosperity.
HivauKe of the tlnttcrltig condition ot
nffalrs Omaha ministers aro already out
lining their pliniB for tho coming year. They
propose, that It shall bo marked by still
further athanccmcnt nlong nil lines, ma
terial and spiritual. New churches will be
built and many of the splendid religious
edifices of which Omaha Is Justly proua
will be repaired, improved and enlarge.
Hand In hand with the promotion of theso
temporal affairs will bo tho exertion of cv
fort toward a spiritual nwnkenltig und n
big union revlvnl meeting Is ono of tho pos
eibllitles of the coming winter.
Tho opening of the church yenr is now
about here. With the passing of tho sul
try days of summer when tho average
churchgoer nnd contributor hns no longer
the hejt to olfer as nn excuse for his non
n'tenddnce nnd lack of Interest in ecclesi
astical affairs, tho church doors swing In
with a seaming quickened movement and
stagnation gives way to renewed Interest
nnd activity. It Is nt this tlmo that th
p.istor prepares to stnrt ncthely into his
pluns for tho winter's work nnd the parish
loner makes ready to do penanco for a
summer mnrlied by fitful Interest In relig
ious matters.

"I have noted n marked Improvement In
the ntfalrs of Omaha's churches slneo I
havo been here," said Hnv. Edward T. Trefa,
pastor of Kountzo memorial, "and I havo
tallied with many of tho ministers of thn
city, nil of whom agree that the outlook
for the coming year could not be better,
lino of the most pronounced characteristics
of thu nuu Irs of ull the churches Is the
splendid financial condition in which they
nil find themselves nt this time. Many of
tho churches havo paid nit their mortgages
and two largo new churches nro being built,
Calvary Iliptlst and n splondid Catholic- ed
ifice out In Kounuo place. Another agree,
able feature to tho ministers which hat
eomo about directly by reason of tho Im
proved fiiiunclul conditions Is that many of
them havo received Important Increases In
tholr salaries. One does not hear any com
plaints now nboui the churches being back

"There seems to be a determination on
the part of the ministers this year to do
n.ore thorough work und a disposition to
be more united In the pursuance uf certain
pol'cles than heretofore. This may take
form In n big union revival or simply a
general religious campaign. It Is probable
that there will bo n general Interchange
of pulpits on tho part of tho ministers of
Nebraska looking toward a revival of re
ligious Interest. If this pl,ui materializes
certain ministers of Omaha selected for
the task will go to Lincoln and preach
there In the vnrlous churches for a certain
number of weeks, not only on Sunday, but
every clay of tho woek. The ministers of
Lincoln will go to some other town Iu the
state and this plan will bo continued un
