tear to pieces in the halls of justice The judges who refused to hear him, the jurors who unanimously declared him guilty, the spectators who in the presence of the court threatened and cursed him, the lawyers in caps and gowns who snarled about him in the corridors of the courthouse like angry dogs tearing his garments, the assas~ sin who waited for an opportunity to throw Zola into the Seine-none of these will be present when the ashes of the great man are borne in triumph to their last resting place. The, change of sentiment in great metropolis is like the variations in color of the chameleon. The scene in Julius Caesar when Antony changes the sentiment of the rabble with a great speech is very dazzling, but always entertain
 ed unconquerable doubts as to it's truth. I have attended many public meetings, in this and ctners countries; I have heard orators like Burns and Hyndmall, lake Ganlyetta and Jaures, but what always observed at these meetings was that the masses came with fixed ideas. To these they clung tenaciously and went with them to homes. When the speaker spoke as they thought they shouted for joy, if he deviated in the smallest degree from their standpoint they protested and mrrmured. Gamlttta failed to convert the Bellevillers when they threw wine bottles at him, and Clem- enceau was equally unsuccessful in Toulon when his hearers roared- 'Ah, yes, in his face. The addresses which were delivered in the Senate show that the party of crime 'ad morem Dei gloriam' has not departed one hairs breadth from its former standpoint. They hate Zola as deeply as ever for having awakened the conscience of the French people. They lacked the cour- age to oppose him on that account in the Senate, so they attacked him as an author and dragged his works in
 the mire. In the name of dencency { they arrayed themselves against the author of Mana and Pot -Bouille, but 1 they knew full well that France had In mind to honor the author of the pro- phetic 'Jaccuse.'

But I say again he enters there not as a man of the pen but as one of deeds, and as such he will be l the greatest of all who have preceded him to the noble sepulchre Marceau, 1 Lannes, Latour d'Auvergne Lazare and Sadi Carnot not excepted.

THE children 5 library, separate department
OF the city library, originated with the Brooklyn
public library in 1900 Work with children began
In an unused room in the basement. Their plan of
a separate children succeeded. Three years
later Minneapolis established library for children
IN which were listed twenty thousand books This
is still the largest chdrens library in the country
Boston, New Haven, Seattle, Omaha, and San Fran
cisco all opened either reading rooms circulating
libraries for children after. Since then most of
the large libraries and many of the small ones all
over the country have provided special rooms for
children.
In pleasant room, which is the childrens ex-
cusvely, they find person always willing assist
them Most of these Librarians have taken, besides
the regular library work, special course preparatory
to working with children.
At the Carnegie library of Pittsburgh the train

IN this department. This includes, besides

The course also gives practice in the work of story

IN real literature. These stories tales from The

and The Nibeungen1ied," from Shakespeare,
legends of King Arthur and the Round Table, tales
of Robin Hood and his Merry Men, and from old
English and Scotch Ballads
Prior to the meetings of the Conference of
Libraries at Narragansett Pier in 1906 a list of
questions was sent to hundred of the largest
libraries, asking about their work with schools
The following statistics compiled from the
answers:
Thirty-seven have separate collections of books
Tor use in schools; twenty-seven make work with
schools part of the library work; forty-eight send
books to schools In their cooperation with Schools
the librarians try have books upon topics used in
study, also convenient and conspicuous pictures
illustrating such studies at the psychological mo-
ment On the day the child reaches Japan in his
geography work for instance, he finds in the library
about the walls colored photographs of Japanese
scenes and people. To the child this seems Won
derfully happy accident but it is really due to a
plan for systematic and timely help worked out by
librarians and assistants.
Among the other devices that the modern school
lied is the Home Library, a small case Of books
placed in chd's home. At stated time each
week ten twelve children of the neghborhood
meet about the case, and visitor from the library
gives out the books, and in various ways makes the
library hour pass pleasantly, with profit to the
children.
The Home Library has almost attained the M
portance of movement; that is to say, it has
to be regarded a distinctly social and moral in
fuence. In cooperation with the Social Settlement,
juvenile courts newsboys homes, and other similar
institutions it penetrates out 'of the way corners
of the city, alleys, and runs carrying the
perence Of the human family in story and his
tory-that larger Bible of the race-to those
who most need the knowledge of those experiences
to make them happier and more ambitious for
better living.

vague recollection of doomed men cheering and of

United States, Germany, and England had their
ships at Samoa because of the international COM
plications concerning the Hawaiian Islands. The
three American ships Trenton, Vandalia and
Nlpsic were lost with four officers and fortv-six
men; and the German vessels Adler, Eber and
Olga went down, with nine officers and eighty-seven
men.

sufficient Roadway against the wind to steam awav
