Tho point upon which tho majority of thn beads are united Is that tho tension of teaching Is Increased by the poor veutlla ition of tho old building, the overcrowding of tho school and tho nolao ot workmen upon tho now building. In disowning tho report Informally niom brs of the board do not Bcem satisfied with conditions existing at. tho High sciiool. One of them said yesterday morning! "This report will show that whUo the heads of departments pronounco tho system a failure, but one of them speaks from per sonal experience, because, with tho excep tion of Miss Landls, not ono of these teach ers hns taught six periods, fib far as tho heads of departments aro couccrned, they iav simply Ignored the order of the board.

Ho advised the. members to stand firm to tho plan of 'io association, and said thnt the fight "upon tho mensuro will come from tho west ern representatives, tho molorlty ot the representatives from tho east who havo expressed opinions being In favor ot the association's plan. Ileferrlng to an ar ticle In Tho Omaha Ilee, copied rrom tn0 Hrooklyn Eagle, he said tnat It represented the sentiment of too eastern representatives nnd that they would stand for no plan contemplating stato ownership nnd control. A general discussion followed, In which each speaker pledged himself to Bjirend the Bcntlment In favor of the plan endorsed by the national administration. At the suggestion of E. E.

A telegram printed In n Chlcnco naner relative to tho flnnnclal condition of the Omaha Ioan and Trust company and rea sons alleged for tho condition caused con siderable comment. A motion was adopted Instructing tho chairman ot tho board and tho secretary to correct the error as to the condition of Omahn securities, which tho members of ttio committee believed to havo been given by tho article. It was decided not to endorso the prop osltlon of n Chicago publication which has a representative In tho city working up nn Omaha souvenir number.

An ncqualntnnco followed and during my stay I was shown every courtesy by tho Masonic brethren.

Last week was one of the busiest ever experienced by Omaha booksellers, barring, of course, tho week Immediately preceding the hntldays. The stores have been thronged with buyers early and late, making their holiday purchases. Clerks have been moro than busy In looking nfter the wants of customers nnd bringing out resorvo stock to fill the big gaps made In the long rows of books on the shelves. If nil the books purchased nre to remain In Omftha there will be no dearth of reading matter In this city for some time to come. While most of tho books intended for the holiday trade nrrlved soma time ngo a few new ones have put In nn appearance .within tho Inst few days, "The Debatable Land," by Arthur Col ton, Is decidedly on Interesting story, vig orous and orlglnnl In tone. The manner In which It Is written recalls Stephen Crane at his best. Its drama Is enacted at the time of our civil war. Helen Hourn, a young New England girl, has two lovers, Morgan Map and Onrd Wlndhnm, who nre men of quite opposite types, ono a strong, masterful character, the othrr of a more spiritual nnture. Hoth go to the war. Helen also goes, as a nurse. There she meets Map and Wlndhnm, and Jealousy nnd Intrigue follow. The characters of Ihe two men nre then exposed ond Helen makes her choice. All tho people In tho book nre alive, from Father Andrew, who hnd visions of salads, when his thoughts should have been elsewhere, to Fritz Mcaelle, tho big, artistic (Jerman muslclnn, with his genial bouI nnd quaint Jargon. Tho poet, Walt Whitman, la Introduced Into tho story, nt the time when ho was nn army nurse. Tho book Is picturesque and absorbing, a worthy volume with which to close tho remarkably successful American Novels scries. Harper Sr. Hros., Now York. "Harcheslor Towers," by Anthony Trol lope, haB been brought out In n cheap edi tion. It Is the sequel to "The Warden," which was published recently in the snmo series. It Is n sign of tho times that the public Is asking for, n revival of tho best In n good deal of undeservedly neglected literature. Such pure English, clothing tho most delightfully nntural and human plots, 1b bound to hold Its own ngnlnst tho often Illiterate nnd the vulgarly sensational latter-day work. It is hoped that In this New Pocket Library, n series uncqunlcd In chcnpncBS and hnrnllness nnd general at tractiveness, tho authors of fifty years ago may onco ngntn be rend and enjoyed by lovers of tho best In fiction. In bringing nut the old standard authors In nn edition thnt Is within the reach of all, tho pub lisher 1s doing the public n great favor. It Is to bo hoped that tho reading public will show such appreciation that the series will bo continued Indefinitely. John Lane, pub lisher, New York; "Tho Hose Onrden of Persia" has been edited with care from tho well known work by Mrs. Louisa Stuart Costello, with a now preliminary essay by Joseph Jacobs on Persian poetry ns n whole. The Introduction follows, and this nguln Is followed by n little essay on ornnment, going to the ex ternals of the manner of presentation.

Never before has the homo and social llfo of Holland been so strongly nnd nt tho same time so attractively described aw In this llttlo volume. Tho author's long residence In tho Netherlands enables him to wrlto with fullness of knowledge nnd with Im partiality. Beginning with the first volume In this series, "French Llfo In Town nnd Country," tho closest edltorlnl supervision has obtained In order to securp both ac curacy and Interest. Generally speaking, the volumes may bo said to avoid subjects statistical, political and controversial, and to deal with tho Intellectual llfo of tho various peoples, tholr manners and cus toms, wealth nnd poverty, their nrmlcs, their Industrial llfo. rural life, religious life, homo llfo, amusements and local gov ernments.

The subject, however, Is such that It must ap peal as well to tho people of the United States as to those of Great Hrltnln, anil,, It Is with this hopo that an Amcrlcnn edition 1 has been prepared.
