Principal CardoZo.

Mr.. F. L. Cardozo, principal of the High
School of the Seventh and Eighth divisions,
is a native of Charleston, S. G. He received
a full collegiate course at the University of
Glasgow, Scotland, where he won prizes
both in Latin and Greek. He began the
study OF theology in Edinburgh, but COM
pleted it in London, where he had won
a scholarship OF 81 900
Returning TO America in 1864, he was
called to the pastorate of the Congreg ational
Church i'll New Haven, which he accepted
and was ordained in August of that year.
Under the auspices of the American
Missionary Association, of New York, he
established a high and normal school at
Charleston, s. c. This school is still in
OF ats kind in the State.
In 1867 Mr. CardoZo was appointed by
Gen. Sickles, the military commander in
charge of the State at that time, with two
others, a board of election supervisors to
arrange for the election, ordered by the
reconstruction acts, for a constitutional
convention. He accepted the position and
was himself elected to the convention and
became chairman of the committee on edu-
cation.
On the adjournment of this convention,
he was elected secretary of state for four
years and found it necessary to resign his
position OF principal of the Avery Institute
on account of these new duties. In 1871
Mr.. Cardozo was elected professor of
Latin at Howard University.
However, the governor OF South Car
olina refusing to accept his resignation
as secretary of state, he decided to act
by deputy, and discharge the duties OF
the profeSSoTship at the same time, super
vising the office of the State department
by monthly visits to South Carolina.
In addition To these offices. he has filled
those of treasurer of his native State, and
under Secretary Sherman was clerk in
the Treasury Department. After seven
years in this service, he accepted the
position of principal of the High School in
June of 1884. The splendid growth of
this school in the last ten years is the
highest tribute to his ability, and the sup
port given him by the school board and
by Superintendent Cook is strong en-
dnrsenlent of his worth and cana hilities

The library has only one great need,
and that is an appropriation for its sup
port. Its books come from various and
many sources, but Congress has made no
special appropriation for its demands. The
librarians salary is at present not large,
when the scope and Importance
of her work is considered. Books are
needed in every department of the library,
and daily there are calls for helps in
science, literature, and art which it
cannot supply because of its limitations
As far as it goes the library is III every
particular a model one, but its crying
needs are many. During the past year,
however, many strides forward have been
taken, and the good Work is steadily and
surely progressing The library is invaI-
liable to teachers as it is, and it will and
must grow inevitably. Though not OneOfthe
best pedagogical libraries in the country,
there are reasons for hoping it will
keep apace with library progress.

"God be thanked for bocks"-E e. Claiming
THE teachers library is a unique fea-
ture of the public schools of Wash
ington. There are few cities of the
Union that can boast of a Ii
brary devoted exclusively to the use OF
the public school teachers. The need
of such library had long been felt by
the teachers of this city, and its establish
ment three years ago was considered a
great boon to their progress It's central
location in the Franklin School building
makes it accessible to all who would refer
to it. The library room is situated on the
same floor with Superintendent POwell's
office and the school board room, and COM
municates with the latter. II Is large,
airy and Well lighted, and is tastefully fur
nisbed in light browns.
The library had it's humble beginning in
Prof. Powell's office, where by degrees
books were added until the walls were lined
with them. When they grew to such num-
bers that it became evident there was not
room for both the superintendent and the
library in the same office, and that one
or the other must leave the premsiSes, it
was prudently decided to give the books
space i'll which they might spread them
selves for years to come.
II was then, i'll 1892, that the new room,
formed out of schoolroOm anda cloakrOOm
was fitted up Its walls and alcOves are
lined with bookshelves which afford
space for the library to double its numbers
This is one OF the best features OF the &C
comodatiOnS OF the room, for in this day of
great books library must be capable OF
great expansion. In the past year it has
grown vigorously, adding many scientific
| and philosophical works to it's shelves.
| The library at present numbers about 81
200 bound volumes and about 3 3,100
pamphlets.

Books on all subjects taught in the graded,
high and normal schools are Included among
its numbers. The purpose Of the library is
TO aid the teachers in every subject which
they have to teach in the public schools. 1t
is mainly a reference library. Books on
history, art, the natural sciences, pedagogy,
mathematics and philosophy are among those
in constant demand. Reports and courses
of study from all the centers OF education
in the country contribute to the practical
pedagogy of the library. Magazines and
educational journals are subscribed for in
great numbers and are much read.
The history of education in the United States
as comprised in the reports OF the educational
associations of the country are invaluable,
and these reports are owned by the library.
The library is patroniZed by hundreds Of
teachers, and its popularity increases as
the teachers become familiar with the
treasures il contains. The library has been
without a catalogue, but dictionary cata-
logue is now III preparation. Through the
aid of this the library Will disclose TO the
most casual observer the information il
contains on any subject.
The dictionary catalogue in connection
with the Dewey classification system Of
numbering and shelving will enable a hur-
| ried reader to find all that the library con-
tains on any subject in a very limited space
of time. For instance under the head
lllE. GtyStTS, Will Ut arranged III dllQd-
betical order a list of all the works on
geysers together with cross references to
| magazines and books containing articles
on geyseTs. The librarian has been working
on this card catalogue since January The
work, however, is vast, and it VIII neces-
sarily take several years to complete it.
The librarian, Miss Nina Goetz, entered
upon her duties on January l 1895 She
graduated from the Washington High
School in IS, and began teaching in Sep
tember of that year. She continued teach
ing through the school year, ending in
June, '93. In the fall of that year she
Went TO Wellesley College, Massachusetts,,
where she took a special course in philoso-
ply and German, accomplishing the work
of the graduating class in these studies.
Returning to Washington last fall, she
| resumed her teaching in the public schools,
but was transferred at her request 10 the
position of librarian at the teachers IL
brary. The plan of cataloguing, shelv-
ing, and arranging the library is OF her own
choosing and has met With universal
satisfaction.

Couture for an Elderly Lady.

When hairdresser was asked how
elderly women should dress and orna.
mont their hair. she replied: swell,
everybody is going to wear her hair
potnpadour this winter, and there is
such variety in the arrangement of
this style that it can be made just as
becoming to the woman with long,
lank face and cadaverous eyes as TO
the one with the round face. But
when the crows feet begin to scratch
around a woman's eyes and the curves
in her face begin to settle into lines,
she should be very careful in the ar
rangement of her hair and the selec-
ton of ornaments. She should not fail
TO pull soft little curls down on her
forehead, and unless she is remarkably
well preserved, must not wear brilliant
ornaments Medium-sized combs in
tortoise or jet are becoming. but pearls
never in gray or white hair; and as for
the beloved diamonds, they bring out
the wrinkles.-St. Louis Republic.
