Linn and Marshall conventions in the
Fifth have been held. Linn instruct

shall, although without instructions,

under the influence of liquor at this
time and at other times during the

would be hard to substantiate, as a

LIBRARY SCIENCE.
A New Department which Has Made
Great Progress Since Its Origin
Fourteen Years Ago.

Library work is becoming an exact
| and exclusive science, says the Chi
cago Record. 1T was just IA years
ago." said Herbert Putnam, librarian
of congress, shat the first regular
department of library science was es-
tablished, and that having its origin
in Columbia university, New York,
under the dictum of the college libra
rian, Melville Dewey. When he re-
moved to the state library he took
his new department, students and all,
with him to Albany and formed the
New York state library school, which
has since attained such high stand
ard. Only some 20 or 80 of the best
qualified students are admitted out of
the hundreds of applicants. In all the
library schools the number is neces-
sarily limited, 80 being the maximum
number.
'0The course is two years in most
of them, sometimes three. Out of all
the schools combined last year there
were not more than 600 graduates.
Every one of the schools is main
tanned in connection with a library
that the students may have the prac-
teal side of the instruction as well as
the theoretic.
There are now schools in Brooklyn
at the Pratt institute, in Philadelphia
at the Drexel institute and at the
University of Illinois, while summer
courses are given at Amherst and at
the University of Wisconsin at Mad
ison. The one that was formerly con-
fad
teal sire of the instruction as we'll as
one in Los Angeles abolished"
Columbia university has had a spe-
cial department of library science for
the last three or four years, at which
lectures are given by Ainsworth r
Spofford, Mr.. Cresnell, of the bureau
of educat ton, and Mr.. Cutter, the Ii.
brarian of the agricultural depart
ment. This year there are nearly 80
students taking this course in addi-
ton to their other college work
Mount Vernon seminary is one of the
new private schools in the country
which have established this library
course in their curricula. Here it is
under the instruction of one of the
graduates of the New York state
school, Miss Ames, who is also in
charge of the library, and it has be-
come a most interesting and valuable
course to the students in literature
and history.
1t is a question whether Mr..
Carnegie or Mr.. Rockefeller has given
away the more money. Probably Mr..
Carnegie's total will be the larger
when his plans for the Carnegie in
stitute at Pittsburgh have been de-
veloped. but Mr.. Rockefeller's gifts to
the Chicago university alone have
reached nearly $1O,OOO.OoO.
Mr.. Rockefeller's wealth is esti-
mated at $3.50, 100000; Mr.. Carnegie's
at $2O0,OO0,00O. Mr.. Carnegie's inter-
est in the steel company which bears
his name amounts to $146,25O,00O. His
own estimate of his wealth is $780,
25OOO0
