stance, collection Of shells, which is
perhaps the best in the transmississippi
country. We intend to bring these down to
the childrens room where the small people
can look at and handle them while they are

have here a good specimen, which is cut

Brooklyn and some ether cities they have
childrens museums and story telling

take nothing so elaborate, but will still be
able to teach much in regard to these
things and cause healthy interest in the
museum. / often think that children form
a distaste for Dickens and Scott because
they try to read these books before they
can understand them. We hope by our
stories to prepare for such reading.

have made OF each meeting a complete

have the same children in attendance on
consecutive days. We hope some time TO
have alternate classes each Friday, having
different subjects. In this way we might,
say, devote every other meeting to the

The building is a fine one. beautifully

STORIES STIMULATE READING
New Plan of Work Adopted by the
Public Library.
AIDS CHILDREN TO DEVELOP TASTE
Miss TObitt Explains the Aim and
Method of the Scheme that IL
Now Showing Good
Results.

In the children's department Of the city
library Miss Tobitt and her assistants, es-
pecially Miss Alice Egbert, the children's
librarian, and her co-worker, Miss Kate
SwartZlander, have been this winter try
ing the STORY telling hour" for the i'm
provement of the children who frequent the
library, and feel that they are meeting with
success. The idea is not new and in some
cities has been worked out to a degree and
scope far In advance of that at
tempted here. Nothing of the kind has
been in the Omaha library before this sea-
son. The present work is to some extent
experimental and will be so until the sum
mer puts an end to the talks; then next fall,
with the knowledge gained, work can be
taken up systematically.
The idea of the story telling Is to in
terest the little folks in meritorious books
on various subjects. After listening to a
talk on some subject they are sure to show
interest in regard to one or another phase
Of the topic and the children's librarian
can thus supply them with good books,
which they like and in reading which a
taste for standard works is formed.
Topics Already Covered.
The first of these story tellings came
late In the autumn and dealt with giants
some Of these being real giants-steam and
| electricity-and others the fcticious mon
sters OF the fairy tales. Next, shortly be-
| fore Christmas, came THE Story Of the
other Wise Man" and other Christmas
stories. The third OF the series was a
talk on birds, during which the speaker
initiated the calls OF the flying creatures
and told Of their interesting habits. Last
Friday was devoted to the little children,
and Kate Douglas Wggin and other writ
ers of stories for small people were drawn
on. Two weeks later there will come a
talk on shells, illustrated by the shells
| from the museum. At the first two story
hours forty children we're present, but al
the third and later meetings about ninety
heard the stories. The children have
evinced an interest by repeated questions al
to the time for the next meeting. The sub
ject and time OF the story telling is made
known by tickets which are given out tc
the children coming TO the reading rooms
during several days preceding the meeting
These are held in the afternoons shortly
after the closing of school, The stories 50
far have been told by patrons Of the library
who have been interested IN the work and
others have volunteered their services.

It first became known that dandruff is the
result of a germ or parasite that digs into
the scalp and saps the vitality Of hair at
the root, causing falling hair and badness,
biologists set to work to discover some
preparation that will kill the germ. After
a years labor in one laboratory the dan
druff germ destroyer was discovered, and It
is now embodied in Newbro's Herpicide,
which, besides curing badness and thinning
hair, speedily and permanently eradicates
