any card which is used in a card index.
At one end of the card is the classifi-
cation number and the title of the
book. When the book to which each
card belongs is in the library the card
remains in the pocket on the cover
When a book is loaned from the Ii
brary the borrower is first requested to
sign card giving his name. residence
and address. after which he makes a
selection Of the book he wishes to Dor
row. When he has done this the card
is taken from the pocket in the book
by the clerk and after the name Of the
borrower and the date OF the loan has
been recorded on the card it is placed
in the filing case. The date OF the
loan is also recorded on the pocket in
the book. Books are allowed to be
kept out Ct the library three weeks
When the book is returned to the Ii
brary is it but moments work to
hunt up the card and return it to the
rocket. The new arrangement SIM
plfies the system to a marked degree
and renders the work of keeping run OF
the books loaned very accurate.

| State HOUSE.
The Little Town Of Per-
| kins in Trouble.
Only School in Town Has Been
Closed by Law.
Dates for Fairs Next Fall are Com.
ing In.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR,
Next Meeting Of Governor and Council,
Tuesday, May 7. at 10 A. M.

Attorney II. r. Drew of Richmond
was at the Capitol Tuesday for the
purpose of consulting with Assistant
Attorney General Philbrook regarding
school in the town of Perkins, on
Swan Island. This school, which is
the only one on the island and in the
town, has been closed by law since the
conclusion OF the winter term, and Mr.
Drew's visit to Augusta was in the in
tereSts Of the inhabitants Of the town
of Perkins. with a view Of bringing
about the opening of the school.
The closing of the school was in ac-
cordance with the provisions of Sec.
> Of Chap. il of the Revised Statutes.
which provides that schools shall be
suspended when the attendance for the
previous year reaches an average of
less than eight scholars. Some of the
other sections of the chapter would
seem however to be in contradiction
70 the above, as Sec. IL provides that
towns shall appropriate annually q
certain sum per capita for the support
Of common schools therein, and Sec. II
prGvi.trs that towns shall make pro-
visions for the support of their Schol-
airs fer al least 20 weeks during each
Hear.
!hr. Drew's position in the matter is
that the Legislature never contemplate
cd that Sec. would apply to towns
such as Perkins, having but one school.
and that the section applies to towns
which have several schools, SO that in
case one school should fail to show an
average attendance of eight scholars
the scholars of that school could Ee
transferred to some other district in
the same town. He further thinks
that the several sections of the law
cannot be harmoniZed unless that con-
Struction can be placed on Sec. 2.
TIL. assistant attorney general was
of the same opinion and it is believed
that writ of mandamuS can be brought
to compel the school board to reopen
the school.
AS the matter stands now II Is
source of much inconvenience To the
scholars of the town, especially 10 the
smaller ones, as in order to attend
school they must travel u distance OF
four miles each day to attend the
schools of Richmond, and also cross Tie
Kennebec river twice, and it Is the
hone of all concerned that the matter
NAV soon be Strengthened out ana me

Railroads of America De-
mand Better Product of
the Steel Trust - Rails
Break by Hundreds.

New York June Especially As
a result Of the enormous increase in
the number of broken steel rails on
the railroads of America which have
resulted in heavy loss of life and prop
erty, the railroads of the country
have determined to start efforts look
ing toward forcing the United States
Steel corporation which supplies the
steel rails for practically all of the
railroads. to turn out more reliable
and stronger rails.
The American railroad association
has appointed n committee to inves-
tigate the matter and to open con
ferences with the United States Steel
corporation. The committee Is per
haps the most powerful ever appoint.
ed and is supported by the combined
strength of all the railway lines Oh
the continent.
The Southern Pacific reports that
during the month of February alone
4I9 steel rails broke on its lines.
