LIBRARY.

LIBRARY.
SINGS tho beginning of last year, by
special arrangements with the territorial
librarian, the Utah library has been added
to that Of the university.
The accession has been Of great sdyant-
age to our students, and the books are no
less accessible than before to the general
public.
Aa fast as possible the Joint library is
being put In condition, SO that all the
material it contains. will be readily avail
able The first step was to arrange the
hooks on the selves by subjects, which has
been done. 1t will now be Worl: of much
labor and time to catalogue them so that
not only every book may be found by its
title, or by its author, but by the subjects
of topics it may contain, be they one or
many. This plan is known as the system
Of card cataloguing, and is that now
adopted by best and most extensive
libraries, and is the only known way of
reaching every table in a library. The
work will be pushed along as fast as pos
sible.
The addition Of new books to the library
at the beginning Of the year has increased
greatly it's utility, and 1 believe no wiser
expenditure for the institution could have
been made. 1t has been great stimulus
to stucy and original investigation on the
part Of the students, and the results are in
every way gratifying.
The current literature in the shape Of
newspapers, magazines, and other peri
odicals that grace the tables of the reading
room, are well patronized by the students !;
and their reading of this kind of literature,
| am sure gives greater zest and interest
TO their other reading studies, and enables
then to realize more clearly the harmony
that exists between the hard, dry facts of
science and their application in every day
life.
AS the Utah library has now become in
dispensable to us, hope your honorable
body will make special effort, if that
should he necessary, to retain it as 4 per
manent feature in the university. l would
recommend, also, that the librarian of the
university be made the librarian Of the
Utah library, and also. with certain defined
duties, statistician OF the territory.
The library room is ample, convenient,
light and airy, but the rough, rickety
shelving that has held many OF the books
for the last twenty five years, and been
knocked down, removed and put up any
number of times, is hardly in keeping with
the surroundings. New shelving, with
convenient alcoves, should be provided as
soon as it is possible.

CHooL OF MINE,

Before closing this report, should like

the establishment of school of mines as a
department of the university. 1t would be

vantages equaled, perhaps, nowhere else in
the world.

earnest consideration, and urge it before

A good museum is such a valuable factor
in education and gives such prestige and
character TO an Institution like ours, that
would like to suggest to the board the pro-
priety of increasing the extent of ours, by
securing in some way, if possible. the val
liable collection OF specimens contained in
the DeSeret museum.
An oquarium aud botanical conservatory
would also add much to the efficiency of
the museum as an adjunct to the study of
biology.

Hldh6 CreuIIdDle beginning.
DEAF-MUTE INSTITUTE.
The department of deaf-mutes, under
Professor Metcalf, l am pleased to say, is
now in satisfactory condition. The total
number of pupils enrolled the last term
was thirty weight; twenty-seven males and
eleven females. This patronage is widely
distributed over the territory, even the ex-
IRENE north and south counties being
represented.
There have been many improvements in
the department since last year. The dis
cipline consider good and proper. When
not engaged in their studies, or in the
school room, or at recreation, the pupils
are kept busily employed in labor. selected
and directed with the view of prepar-
ing them better to support them
selves by practical industry when
they leave the institution. Besides general
outdoor work, the boys are employed
in carpentry, shoemaking and printing, and
the advancement they are making in these
trades is very promising. The girls under
the supervision of Mrs. Metcalf are di-
vided into sections and given regular duties
to perform. In this way they are en-
ployed in plain needle-work, as making
garments, patching, mending, etc.: in
fancy needle-work as crocheting, lace
work, ETC.; in darning, in light washing,
in ironing, in kitchen work and chamber
work The work done by the pupils in
these various directions is certainly cred
liable alike to themselves and to their
teachers. l have the same commentator
to make in regard to their scholastic work.
One and it may be two of the pupils, how
ever, it will be necessary to send home, as
their mental condition is such as not to
warrant the efforts made TO teach them. l
have instructed the principal so to inform
the parents, as the department is not an
asylum, hospital nor a pure charity. l
approve Of the general discipline of the de-
partment. While ample opportunity is
given the pupils for recreation, they are
not allowed to roam the streets uncared for.
They need, of course, at times to go on the
streets. When this is necessary, they
have some one along to care for them, who
does this, however, more as companion
than an overseer, SO as to avoid any re-
proach OF espionage. The sexes are care
fully guarded, so that it is believed no i'm
proper familiarity takes place between
them. There seems to be system in the
entire management Of the department;
time for study, for retiring, for rising, for
school, for meals, for work, and for recre-
alton; and though the discipline seems a
little severe and too restrictive at first, l
am now convinced that such has not been
the case, for we have better order, con-
tentment, and Improvement AZ she result.

APPARATUS, ETC.

A chemical. physi al aud other apparatus
auued last ear 10 the means of Illustration
in the university, has been doing good
WORK in all tle classes when its use is ap-
propriate. Many pieces that had to be i'm
ported from Europe have arrived only
since the opening Of the present academic
year. All of it, however. is now in place
and its daily use adds much to the interest
and profit of all science studies in the in
stiluuon.
The chemical labratory is still without gas,
which is great drawback to the students
in their work of analysis, especially in the
most advanced classes where some kind Of
work can not be done without it.
Mr.. Ellerbeck, however, after much per-
suasion, has promised to extend the mains
to within reach of the university building.
which gives hope that this desideratum
may soon be realized.

More than year now of occupation and
use of the university building in its nearly
finished condition, has given US the oppor-
tunity to test pretty thoroughly its adapta-
ton to the purpose for which it was de-
signed and erected. This experience, am
glad to say, has proved the wisdom dis
played in its plan. There are but few
changes in the building that should sug-
gest as improvements even now, so long
after the plan was put in execution. We
need, however, still more room, and the
parts of the building yet unfinished should
be completed as soon as it can be done.

ORD LYME, Conn, Feb 25-fn the old

burel the uody of Miss Kate Finnegan, who
four years ago disappeared from her fathers
house as completely as if the earth had swal-
lowed her. Her aged parents wept aloud be
side the grave as the earth Descended ON the
caslxet and younger brother, 20 whom she
had been devotedly attached IN earlier years,
would not be comforted. Not Stree the day
that Kate disappeared had they seen her
face When at last they found hor body IL
was in paupers grave, for Kate had died
among strangers in the mad house at Flat
bush L. L. and up to the last had refused 20
tell her parents name or where she belonged.
The morning of tho day Katie left home
she went to her father and asked him for
sone money She had arranged 70 go 20

without avail. Friends far and near were
telegraphed 70 and advertisements were i'm

police of Nav York and all the larger towns
Of Connecticut were notified of the disap-
pearance and asked 70 be on the lookout for

had gone as a domestic in tho employ OF

reached them she had returned 70 America.
The search was kept up, however, and it was
finally dis ssovered that she had been sent from
New York ~ the asylum on Blackwells
Island. About six weeks later she was trans
ferred 10 the insane asylum at Flathush,
where she died last October.
