afterwards replenished through the
purchase by congress of the library be-
longing to ex-Presidenl jefferson, en-
bracing 1000 volumes.
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
In 1851 the national library contained
LOCO volumes and by an accidental
fire in that year the whole collection
was destroyed except 10000 volumes.
1t was rebuilt in 1852, when $4,000 was
appropriated in one sum TO replenish
the collection. The library is recruited
by regular appropriations made by
congress-the sum for 1898, $4,000, also
by additions received by copyright,
by exchanges and from the Smith
sonian institution. The library of the
Smithsonian institution has now been
deposited in the library of congress,
where it is secured against fire. The
library is also enriched by the pre-
sentatiOn to the government in 1882
of a large private library of the late
DR.. Joseph NJ. Toner, of Washington,
numbering over q 900 volumes, besides
nearly as many pamphlets. The libra
rian Of congress is also register of
copyrights. In 1898 there were $4,000
entries in the copyright department
alone. The library embraces 800, 600
printed books, in which is included a
law library OF 10000 volumes. There
are also 240,000 pamphlets, $4,000 orig
inaI manuscripts $4,000 graphic charts,
2lG.OOO pieces of music, $4,000 bound

PUBLIC LIBRARY BUILDINGS
The
Funshd s
Now

The developments of the next few
days Win doubtless give TO the citi-
zens OF st. Paul assurances of a new
library building, one which VIII rank
among the first institutions of its kind
in the country. Rumor has said for
several days that a number of gentle
men We're to give TO the city buildings
which would cost many thousand of
dollars That this was the motive
which led both the municipal bodies to
act SO promptly in turning the market
house property over TO the library
and 1t is safe to say that short time
Will see definite plans made for the
early construction Of a library build
iEg.
This Will be good news TO those who
have so strongly urged the necessity of
library building in the past Just
where il is to be located and the kind
of buildings which will be put up is
not known. but il is sufficient to say
that, through the munifcence of GER
tain liberal St. Paul gentlemen, this
city will at last be given an institution
which Will be an ornament to the city
and great benefit TO the community
Such an institution is diSinctively one
OF the people, where all can share alike
the treasures of master minds It
is there that the struggling student
and the literary man can go and pursue
the favorite branches of their calling.

times prevent the Burlington from forging
to the front. We have constant appeals from
churches along this line for helD in new
communities, as some part of the territory

expected that this line may push out into

According to a report submitted by
Inspector Corning, of the real estate
committee, 1t costs little more than
one-half per capita to run the schools
today of what it did in 1891. In 1891
the total enrolment of children was
1880, with a per capita of $32 40 per
pupil; this year the total enrolment is
2f.000. with a per capita cost per pupil
of $3.50. The following table show
ing the per capita cost each year since
1891 and the total amount expended
for school purposes will be of interest:

A comparison of the two tables
shows that there was greater pro-
pertionate decrease in the total per
capita cost per pupil than there was
in the average teachers salary. This
would indicate that the teachers have
not been Disseminated against as has
been claimed, but rather that they
have been favored by the board. The
necessary retrenchment extended to
all branches of the school work. and
President Corning stated that there
had been greater reduction in the
other funds. than there had been of

It will be seen from the above table
that the per capita cost OF maintain
ing the schools has decreased gradual
ly every year until it is about half
what 1t was eight years ago. The
largest decrease in one year was in
1893, when the board first commenced
the pruning process, which has kept
right on to date.
