HOME IN K ELATION TO OUTDOORS arrooadlaa: rntrn Ceaat far Mark, aa All la Eislalaed la Oaaaha Llhrarr Book tk SabJect. While It doe not seem to be generally known, the Omaha public llbtary can, at a moment's notice, furnish the most valua ble kind of Informstlon that has - been printed touching any live subject. Just st this time books concerning architecture and buildings are In demand, snd the Omaha library has enough literature con cerning the subject to satisfy any ordi nary seeker after technical snd definite knowledge on that line. Books on model houses, on simple homes, on modern stiburbsn homes, on typical toan houses, on log cabins snd bungalows, on cottages snd mansions, all can be had for the asking. Then there are disserta tions on tent and cabin, on remodeling, on cosy homes for little money"; on houses for ll.ooi) to IVOno. on the right kind of build ing for a small square lot. on plans for year-round homes In odd places and out of the wsy cornets. The seeker can leern what a window will do for a home; almost as much as a window In Thrums did for literature. Tips are here pn how to make a front door tight Instead of wrong, on stairways that will be hleaslng Instead of very disagreeable features; pointers on kitchens, pantries, bath rooms, the living room that will be a Joy. bed room and boudoir. Inviting nooks nothing Is over looked that the practical or the esthetic mind mar fsncy. Ma "Meat-Ase" Architecture. Here are Intelligent wsrnlngs against meat-axe architecture, correctives for brutal abuse of building opportunities. The home in relation to outdoors and surround ing feature on other folks' lots Is treated with simple eloquence of expression, and a direct argument that will be hard to find fault with. There Is a wealth of pic torlal Information, treating the best exist Ing structures and the monstrous mistakes of varnished generations; what to encour- sge and what to avoid. .As Miss Tobltt, the librarian, says: "We can help very materially In these vital mat ters if the Inquiring public will but give ss the chance." Estimates of cost, based on the most rsvoraDle conditions or otherwise, are readily available in the Omaha reference room, and these estimates touch everything f mm plainest bungalow or cottage to great mansions for town property or country estate. What a well planned facade will do for a high narrow building may be learned, and the difference between hop, skip and Jump plans and studied out de signs Is made strikingly plain by skilled experienced men writing with their hearts In the work. Original Ideas to Ba Had. Even the man with most original ideas a to what lie wants In a new home can find In the Omaha library books full of sug gestions that will appeal to him as emi nently practical and sensible. Chapters on dwellings as l elated to the personality of the owners will be found very Interest ing to the discriminating mind. Take the matter of exterior decoration by means of plants, vines and the like. Brief examine tlon of some volume will convince the hunter for knowledge that perhaps he has overlooked many and many a good ide-i that would have enriched his home spot If he had but made It hia busfnesa to go to the library. In the minor details of building, closets, stairway windows, laundries, the correct place for the bed room window, hall seats, about anything you can think of, some expert has thought of and worked out in varying forms of appealing suggestion, Proper and Improper use of shingles, brick, stone and grass is treated more or less ex haustively, to the end that attractiveness may not lose ground to hldrouaness. Heat, Llgkt aad Yeattlatloa. Fireplaces that will be Joy bringers while they endure sre treated of In word and plot in e. also mantels, snd how to get the best light and ventilation. The reader may view examples from almost every land, oi numme cottage or more pretentious structure; and so doing he will perforce gain some part of an education toward a development of mind that will result In real home when his money has been paid out. Characteristic specimens of the best to be found In old lands are numeious In these exceedingly useful books.

To quote Mis Tobitt agsln: "It our peo ple only would keep themselves posted on our resources for helpfulness, this library could vastly Increase Its dally usefulness. There Is nothing of living interest on which w have not ome literature, and generally a fairly complete selection. Too msny havs the idea that we keep only fiction on our shlves, preposterous ss that may seem. Besides technical wo ks on archi tecture, decoration and similar subjects, we have current magaxlnea of the very highest class that 'are always at the com mand of the public." A ROMANCE AMONG PAINTINGS Itlval Collectors Jnla Hearts aad Their Flee Works Art. Few people who have visited the exhibit of pslntlngs at Bcsndcls store during the last week are aware of a pretty romance surrounding them. These pictures are ran of a collection owned by Mr. and Mra Phil ippe Fontaine and it was their mutual love for paintings and tlulr pride In their srt treasures that brought theae two people together and made It poaslble to combine two valuable art collections. The romance began several years agj when Mr. Fontaine had Just returned from a long service In Egypt, as consul general, a post to which he had been assigned by President Benjamin Harrison. Mrs. Fon taine was then living in Boston, where, through the desth of her fattier, she found herself heir to the valuable Thai! collection of paintings, which she treasured almost ss much as her life. It was In Boston that Mr. Fontaine met her and In their mutual love .of art there sprung up a friendship that culminated In marriage.. "After that." said Mr. Fonlsine. "we decided to exhibit the paintings and have made It a business proposition. A mercen sry Interest Is not sll we have, for w believe that we help some to crests love for good istintings. We hope soon tq go home to Boston snd collect sll our paint ings where we can enjoy them, and live." The Thail collection or paintings, which la the basis of th exhibitions given in Orosha every year, embraces large num ber of the finest works in America. Among tbvm are "Bra a and Brain,'' ''Old trby." "The Blacksmith." "The Nstlvlty," and the "Crucifixion." some of which have been shown In Omaha and have been highly prslsed by art lover. Mr .and Mr. Fontaine have traveled with their pictures all over the United fttatea, Cuba and Hawaii, gradually adding to the collec tion until they nw have a representative one. Some of these sre on exhibition. others are In storage, where they sre be ing kept untl Mr. and Mrs. Fontaine open heir home In the esst. Mr. Fontaine Is now In Omaha, super- Intending the exhibit of hi two pictures. The Toller" and "The Two Messages." Mrs. Fontatne has often been In Omaha. but is now In the south where other pic tures are on display. The two paintings at Brsndels have been highly commended. "The Toller." by If. de Mareau. la vslued at 160,000. It Is a marvel lous study of light snd shsde. 'The Two Messsges" is a painting that Is full of human Interest. Two figures of sn old man and young girl are tnarvelousty well done. This free art exhibition will be continued throughout the coming week.

They sre old, unclesn. offering no proper shelter, poorly heated, unventllated. associated with outbuilding ffrnslve to the Senses snd sensibilities of child snd sdult sllke. ,W find fur ther, that aside from the buildings them selves, very msny of these school are equipped but poorly or not st all with the thing necessary for th sdmlnlstrstlon of school In these dsys. Ther re without reference books, without maps, and In many esses the children arc without textbooks. Indeed, most of the tools for ths mainte nance of a school sre lacking "Through the prevalence of the district system or through the willingness Of town authorities to maintain more schools than are really necessary or desirable, there are altogether too msny schools In the country towns. Tour commission believe that school of four or five or even of eight or en pupils csnnot In any case do good work. It Is not too much to ssy thst from Soft to M) schools now maintained In the state could be closed, the children being sent to centrsl schools, to the very greet advsnt- sge of the Interests of education. In a town in Windham county, for example, the aggregate attendance In four of the schools ken together Is less than 17. In log towns here are S4S schools In which the aversge attendance for the year 1907-1 was less than twelve pupils each. Very often a hardship results even from the town sys tem of schools when, for example, children are obliged to travel or to be carried a long distance In order to attend a school In their own town, whereas by simply stepping over an Imagtnary line they could attend a school olose st hnd. There re seversl Instances of this sort to which spe cific reference msy be made If desired." The conclusions of the Luther commis sion embrace the complete abolition of the old district school snd the substitution of a system whereby town school sress may serve ss the unit and several such areas msy be grouped. If need be, In the Interest of Improved educational work. Edacatloaal Notes.
