Of Islam being one of the most momentous
events in the story of both peoples through
the early centuries, moreover, the language, or
at least the literary language of the country,
was constantly changing, so that it is abso-
lutely requisite for the modern student to have
at least a smatterng acquaintance with such
tongues as Avcstic, Sanskrit Assyrian, PahlaWi,
Svriac and Chaldean, and a thorough knowl-
edge of modern Persian, Arabic and Turkish.
A large portion of Arabic literature has
been produced by Persians. so that COM
prehensive view of Persian history necessi-
tates more than a dip into the history of
the former country. All this tends to make the
narrative highly interesting to the reader. but
proportionately more difficult to the writer.

his task is eynced by his treatment Of such por

in AID OF SILK CULTURE
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT is
MAKING NEW VENTURES.
SiIk-Reeling Machines Imported, with
French Experts to Teach Meth
cd Of Operation.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-Secretary Will
son exhibited on his desk in the Agricul-
tural Department to-day the first hank Of
silk reeled from the silk Keeling machines
recently purchased by the department.
There are three of these machines, though
only one of them has been put in operation
the intention being to send one of the two
remaining machines to Tuskegee, and the
other to some other place where sufficient
interest may be shown TO learn how to
operate it.
Cocoons have been purchased from all
over the country and two expert female
French operatives have been brought to
Washington TO teach the operation of the
machines. 1t is Secretary Wilson's desire to
have the people of the South, especially
of the comparative cheapness of that labor
Arrangements already have been made TO
have some girls come to Washington to
learn the machines and they are expected
daily.
Secretary Wilson says the department
is prepared TO do everything possible to
encourage the industry and that silk worm
eggs well as young mulberry trees will
be supplied to persons desiring to engage
in the business. The department at present
is buying cocoons whenever offered, but
Keeling centers will be esta bished as fast
as possible and each of these will be a
cocoon market. The silk produced is of a
very fine quality. The department is pre-
pared at present to turn out about twelve
hanks per day.
1--WE hope soon to have enough to make
a flag for the President" said Secretary
Wilson. THE United States imports s75.-
0uv,OO0 worth of silk annually and il be-
hooves to do all we can to establish
the industry.

session this mordning to miscellaneous bus
mess, which consisted largely of reports
from committees. NJ. l.. Jennings, d. D.,
of Pittsburg, Pa, editor of the Methodist
Recorder, spoke at length on the church
publication. He said the paper lacked bat
500 of having doubled its subscription in the
last ten months. In the report of the Ger
man committee the lack of a separate de-
partment for the German members of the
church was complained of. For this reason
the German members are in favor of afilia-
ton with the Congregationalists and
United Brethren churches, as those
churches have better facilities for German
members. The obituary committee re-
ported that but two members had died in

END OF LIBRARY SCHOOL

HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL.

. EARSAW, Ind. Aug. 2l.-The school for
librarians. so successfully conducted by the
Indiana Public Library Commission, under
the direction of Miss Mercia Hcagland, of
Indianapolis, closed it's sessions at Winona
Lake to-day. AS only librarians in posi-
tions or under appointments to them were
admitted, after their applications had been
signed by their library trustee, the class
was composed of earnest young men and
women having had more less experience.
The limit of twenty-five students was
reached before the school opened on July
6. In arranging the course of instruction
the need of the libraries represented was
studied. No attempt made to have
the study of literary methods a compare
tive one. but rather to give the librarians
some practical insight into library science,
which they could easily adapt to their in
vidual libraries. Miss Mercia Hoagland,
corresponding secretary and organizer of
the commission, was dean of the school,
and brought TO it valuable experience in
pra ctical library work. She gave a series
of morning talks on what it Means to
be Librarian and other important topics.
The commission was particularly fortu-
nate in the selection of it's instructor, Miss
Anna r. Phillips, a graduate of Vassar
College, and of the New York State Library
School. Having taught for a number of
years and having had experience as a libra
rian, Miss Phillips particularly fitted
as instructor, and has been untiring in
her class work. The course of study took
up in outline what is comprehended i'm a
years course in regular library school,
SO that those attending the Winona school
spent eight to ten hours I'm daily study.
The commissions library for instruction
afforded opportunity for practical work in
accessioning, classification, book numbers
shelf lists, card cataloguing, photography
reference work, etc. So many of the new
Carnegie library buildings have children s
rooms, especial attention was paid to the
work with schools. Miss Harriet M. STAN
ley, of Brooklyn, Mass, gave most in
structive course of lectures on reference
work with schools. which was illustrated
with the best books. The experiment tried
by the State Library Commission has been
satisfactory In every particular, and it is
probable the work will be continued next
year.

Maitre Labori caused considerable SEN
