plain this feature of the school exhibit

to make generous loans. The other de-
partments will be described at another

Chapel for an exhibition of the best
paintings. drawings, or other articles of
artistic value, collections of minerals,
shells, flowers, and rare and curious ar
ticies of all kinds that can be gathered
from this vicinity Almost every FAM
lily has something or many things that
are viewed with a special interest by
their visitors. and which, perhaps, could
not be duplicated for some distance
around. Some articles from long pos
session or familiarity seem M worthy of

seeing them. but at the same time, aid
be taken to see that all such loans shall
be carefully handled and safely returned.
Quite a number of beautiful and Curl
GUS articles, have already been offered,
and we believe that very interesting
collection can be secured. Lancaster
seems exceptionally well supplied in this
line.
Loan exhibitions have been success
fully conducted for various public pur-
poses IN many towns and cities of the
East. They require much labor, but
the pecuniary outlay is so small that
the profits have been large in nearly all
cases. Why may they not be herep
The object is certainly worthy one,
and we trust there will be such gen.
erous cooperation among the people
that success will be certain:
