SECURE LIBRARY FOR $l.25.

II is little known function of the
state library at Lansing that on formal
application and the payment of small
fee it will put books in the hands OF the
pupils in every school in the common
wealth. The teacher of any school, no
matter how small and remote the district
or how large and important the city, may
procure a library OF 90 selected volumes
merely by sending along with the request
the sum of $I.25 to apply toward the
freight charges. The sum, while made
quate to cover the transportation charges
in meny cases, is made uniform through
out the state.
If the teacher desires certain special
books. these will be sent, or she may
merely indicate the grades of her pupils
and appropriate books will be chosen for
them. For the convenience of teachers
the librarian has drawn up many speci-
men lists which she will send upon re-
quest, and which the teacher may choose
from i'll ordering a fresh consignment.
With the books there comes good oak
case, card catalogue and other para
phernalia. And it is not only the public
schools which the state is willing and
eager 10 help in this way.
Suitable collections of books will be
sent to Sunday schools, oranges, study
clubs or to individuals desiring TO make
investigations along any line of study.
Another excellent feature of the move
ment is that the books loaned to the
schools do not have TO be returned dur
ing the vatation period. They may be
left in the care of some responsible per-
son in the community, to be loaned out
at all times, instead OF lying unused at

MICHIGAN CONFERENCE
Or the Methodist Episcopal
Church Convenes in Albion
September 18th.

The Michigan Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church is held this year
at Albion.
The Michigan Conference at Albion
and the Detroit Conference at Detroit are
in session the same week, both opening
September 10th. This will also be the
year for the session of the lay conference.
At this September session will be
chosen delegates from both the lay and
ministerial bodies which will help make
up the general conference which convenes
May Ist, leoS, at Baltimore.
Michigan Methodism dates from 1910
when Rev. William Case was first known
at Detroit. The growth, after a few
years of discouraging conditions, became
rapid. In 1855 the membership showed
IS,4o7. One year later the conference
was divided. The charges east of the
principal meridian Of the state, together
with those of the Upper Peninsula, being
constituted the Detroit Conference and
those west of that meridian together
with the Indian mission in the Lower Pc
ninsula) being erected into the Michigan
Conference.
The completion of the first half CEN
tury of the conferences will be fittingly
commemorated this fall, when Michigan
meets at Albion, under Bishop Mellow
ell, presiding at the same time that
Bishop Berry presides over Detroit con-
ference in the city of the straits. On
September 18th delegation from Albion
will join with the Detroit brerhren in
their jubilee celebration, and on Satur-
day, Sept. Ia, at Albion college. The
Michigan and Detroit conferences will
fraternalize in a stirring series of meet
ings, inSuding banquet, receptions and
two great mass meetings.
Bishop Berry, whose early home was
Detroit, and who last year presided over
the Michigan conference, says in regard
to the coming Detroit conference session:
Personally am looking forward to the
session with mingled feelings of pleasure
and anxiety. 1t will be a JOY to meet all
my brethren again. But the burdens Of
administration, especially that of fixing
the appointments, will be much heavier
than at the average conference, growing
out of the fact that / sustain to almost
every man in the body such close per
sonal relations. / feel perfectly sure,
however, that everybody will seek to
make the task as easy as possible, and
that together we will work out a good
scheme of appointment. Some churches
and some pastors will be disappointed.
1t is always so. But let MS hope for the
minimum of disappointment and the
maximum of satisfaction"

THE BEST OF THEM ALL.

In the account of the St. Louis Sugar
Co.'S picnic held last week. the St. Louis
Independent of last week said:
The finest weather. the largest crowd,
the best music, the most enjoyment,
sums up the Fourth Annual Picnic given
the farmers and patrons of the St. Louis
Sugar Co. on Tuesday.
The excursion train from the east
brought the first delegation, and headed
by Wesche's Saginaw Band, opened tn.
occasion very auspiciously. Then the
excursion train from the west was met
at the depot by Yerington's College
band, of this city. and another crowd es-
corted to the city and factory.
BY noon the largest crowd of people
that ever attended one of these occasions
was present, estimated by good judges to
reach 10000. Every building and every
floor, the large lawn at the factory, the
half mile of sidewalk on both sides of
the street leading to the factory and the
city was just one crowd of people, all
good natured and happy.
At the noon honr basket dinner was
spread of which nearly all participated.
The afternoon was passed in dancing,
with the Wesche band and the Hungar-
ian orchestra furnishing music, which
attracted the younger people, while 9TH
ers were entertained by the free enter
taiyment of the moving pictures" in
the cooperage building. Those who had
sporting blood in their veins were at the
gun shoot and the ball game between
Fox's Grove and Beebe.
While Wesche's band was furnishing
music inside the building, the Yerington
College band we're entertaining the large
crowd on the outside from a stand that
had been erected for their convenience,
and many were the werds of praise we
heard spoken for the excellent music
nished by the two bands.
Manager Case, with his force of able
assistants, are certainly expert manag-
ers of picnic of large dimensions.
