calling their attention to the 6,000 volumes
now In the Omaha collection In what Is
known as the "school library." These
books are for the use of school children
who live too far from the public library

tlon of pictures to be used In teaching
geography Is also at the disposal ot the
teachers and pupils. The number of books
Is limited to thirty-five for the primary
grades and fifty, for the grammar' grades.

ers can have three of these special cards
while grade' teachers can have two special
cards. High school teachers are entitled

tion to these cards, tooks can be reserved

To Passengers Hanscom Park and North 24th Line
Sometime during September Pay-As-You-Enter Cars will be placed, on the Hanscom
Park and North 24th Street line, and we now desire to call attention to the advantages of
this type of car: . .
FIRST That the conductor is on the rear platform at all times in a position to
see that the step is clear before he gives the signal to start the car, thus in
suring passengers against accident. "
SECOND Avoiding the necessity of the conductor pushing his way through a
crowded car, jostling the passengers in doing so.
THIRD The cars load and unload simultaneously, thereby avoiding the usual
delay at busy corners.
FOURTH Avoiding the possibility of a second demand for fare, inasmuch as
passengers pay when they enter and there can be no question of their hav
ing paid.
The pay-as-you-enter system has been put in successful operation on the Farnam line
in Omaha, as well as in a number of large eastern cities. It is well liked wherever intro
ducd. We ask the public to co-operate with us in having their fare ready before the board
the cars.
