OF the best in the State. she approved the

the proper administration OF the library.
such as the arrangement of desks. etc.
The library commission is preparing to
hold three more library institutes early in

these institutes were conducted in the
spring. one at New Albany and the other at
South Bend. The first OF the November in

interest in public library organization and
to create new centers for travelling Ii
