Typewrlting Contest.

About two years ago what is called
touch typewriting was adopted in the
shorthand department at St. .Johnsbury
Academy. BY this method of writing the
keyboard is memorized, and the student
writes from the sense of the location of
the keys, the same as is done in piano
playing, thus saving the necessity OF con-
stantly looking back and forth from the
notes to the keyboard. During the past
three weeks special contest in this work
has taken place among the pupils of the
entering class, the object being to see who
is able to turn out the greatest number
OF perfect pages in given length OF time
Throughout the entire contest the result
has been uncertain, and much interest
has been aroused. Some pupils, who
were backward in the beginning, forged
ahead; while others, during the latter
part of the work fell back somewhat

New Catalogue at the Athen@um.

The re-classifying and card catalogu'
ing of the library has Just been COM
pleted. Some idea of the work required
by modern methods appears in the fact
that it has taken the full time OF an ex-
pert cataloguer and her assistant a
year or more to accomplish it. Every
book had to be carefully examined and
analysed, and the subject matter dis
tri5uted under separate heads on special
cards. Thus each book has not only its
author card and title card, but exactly
defined subject cards, sometimes six or
eight in number, each properly filed in the
card cabinet. which has a capacity of
$4,000 cards. Take, for an illustration,
James Russell LowelIs book entitled
My Study Windows" which is cata-
logued under eight sub-analyt ical titles
besides the regular author and title,
making ten cards in al so if you are
looking up any subject included in this
volume, card in the cabinet will refer
you to Lowell's treatment OF it. There
were 1862, volumes on the shelves
some have been withdrawn as no longer
needed, and the working value of the
library as it now stands is very greatly
increased by the new classification.
The system used is known as the Dewey
decimal, perfected by Melvil Dewey, d.
rector OF the New York State Library at
Albany. All books excepting fiction are
classified and shelved under numbers
ranging from DOL to 1000, in ten main
divisions OF hundreds Thus, sociology
is placed under 800, science under 500,
useful arts under 600, history under 900,
ETC., each sub,divided to tens, units and
declmals. Here then is Riis Battle with
the Sums, 331; The B c OF the Tele-
phone, 654; Longs Fowls OF the Air,
59S.2 2; Our Navy in the War with Spain,
973.8; and to these figures the initial
letter of the author is in each case APP
pended. Bound periodicals, reference
books and fiction are arranged by them
selves, fiction being shelved not dec
finally but alphabetically according to
authors, beginning with About, ending
with Zschokke. 1t will be seen that any
book or subject may be readily tracked,
and all are cordially invited to make
themselves familiar with the books as
arranged on the shelves, and with the
use of the catalogue cards.
Miss Bertha Hathaway, who has had
the cataloguing in charge, returned last
week to her home in Stoughton, Mass.
She will be affectionately remembered by
all who knew her here.
