pointed to make Investigations regard
ing suitable quarters for the library.
Miss Stearns was present and aided the
Board, her large experience Ill connec-
ton with libraries enabling her TO offer
valuable suggestions. She insisted that
the success of a library was dependent
more upon the selection Of proper per-
son for librarian than upon any other
element essential to a library. The IL
brarian should be familiar with current
literature. so as to suggest what books
to purchase from time to time. She
should be systematic, 'tactful and SYM
pathetic. Her influences should be felt
throughout the community. The library
itself was only an instrument In the
hands of the proper person. She offered
many valuable suggestions as to the de-
tailed management of the library and
promised to give all the assistance she
could to make the Manitowoc library d
model one.

was thought best not to appoint perman-
ent committees at the first meeting as
haste might result in error. The spirit
manifested was excellent. The thought
of all was that results We're the only
thing to look for and that show was not
TO be thought of unless it contributed to
results. The treasurer, Edwin Schuette,
was instructed to collect the subscrip-
tions. The work of establishing the Ii
brary is to be prosecuted steadily and
energetically with a view to having 1T in
existence promptly but also in such a
manner as to warrant its success. The
Board adjourned to meet Tuesday even

J. Nash.

ticio and Albert Guttman as representa-
tive of the city schools. The principals

THE city of Milwaukee is now doing
something more than getting excited
over street railway franchises. A mass
meeting of merchants and manufactur
ers was held recently and a committee
appointed to make inquiries regarding
securing terminals for a railway compa-
ny which desires to enter that city. 1t
was learned that the Wisconsin Central
did not intend to renew its lease with
the Mil & ST. Paul for the use of its
terminals in Milwaukee and at once cor
respondence was opened with President
Whitcomb lnquiring whether the Cen
trail would take up the project of secur-
ing its own Milwaukee terminals and
make proposition to the citizens of
Milwaukee
There was both hope and fear fer the
people of Milwaukee in the report that
the Central would not renew its lease.
If it meant that the company would Sc
cure its own terminals in the city, the
news was good. If the offices were to
be moved to Fond du Lac it meant prac-
tically an abandonment of Milwaukee
by the Central Mr.. Whitcomb says
there is no foundation for the rumor that
the company offices will be moved from
Milwaukee,
Manitowoc's interests are so largely
depenuent upon Ine IeHtfdl uOlngS
that all its movements have local inter
est for us.
