Almost any OF these books not OBJ

hde students OF education, either
through the local library or directly
from the Bureau of Education, I'M

should be made to the librarian.
Another important assistance rem

other than that of going to washing

Old Textbooks Wanted.

The government wants gifts of old
or rare textbooks-at least. the gov
eminent Bureau OF Education does.
Government bureaus are so in the
habit of giving away documents in
stead of receiving them that u re-
quest like this warrants attention.
Tho point is that the United states
Bureau OF Education is endeavortng
to get together the finest possible
collection Of textbooks in English,
French. German. Spanish, Italian,
Scandinavian, Dutch and Greek Ian
guages published within the last two
centuries, ana hopes that possibly
some of the many educators and in
vestigators who have been recipients
of the governments bounty by re-
ceiving valuable documents in the
past may return the compliment now
with an occasional textbook of by
gone days. An antiquated speller
or musty Xenophon may be just
the DOCK needed to fill an important
gap in textbook history. The Ii
brary of Congress Is aiding in the
task, and the bureau would appreci-
ate gifts from individuals as we'll.
when this library is completed,
says Commissioner Claxton, "It
should become the mecca of all stu
dents Of this phase of education"
In the meantime, the bureau con-
tinues to be generous in its oppor-
tunities to Investigators. 1t now has
one of the largest and most COM
plete libraries OF education in tho
world, containing about 10000
bound volumes and $4,000 or maze
reports, pamphlets and periodicals

Nothing Is more valuable than
time 1t is the greatest asset than
man can have. In this connection
II Is interesting to note that Mich
igan ieweler has spent several weeks
at the task OF engraving the entire
alphabet on the head of pin. This
is nothing unusual, however, as
men have spent weeks and months
writing the Declaration OF Independ-
ence on the back of postage stamp
or carving the constitution of the
United States on the butt end OF n
door key. -'3s
Men have spent time trying to
solve puzzle pictures, string puz-
zles ana pigs in clover" sufficient t"
have dug the Panama canal, built
the pyramids OF Egypt and changed
the course OF the Gulf stream.
Can anybody imagine j. Pierpont
Morgan sitting down and engraving
the ten commandments on the clasp
of q safety pin or writing the book
OF Genesis on a postal card? Can
anybody imagine Theodore Roose-
welt spending weeks at time trying
10 write L!ncoln's Gettysburgs adj
dress on the surface OF robins
egg?
The man who wins is the man
who is there when the bell rings
and the man who trails along in the
wake Of prosperity is the one who
fritters away his time trying to do
puzzles that come with soap wrap

Comet HUNTING as a Vocatlon.


Prof. William Brooks, who holds
down the chair of astronomy of Ho-
bart College, sat up late the other
evening and discovered a new comet,
not as much of comet as Halley's
celebrated skyrocket, but comet
nevertheless. Prof. Brooks is per-
haps the most eminent cometer in
this country, as the new comet is the
twenty-seyenth that he has discov-
cred and down in his notebook.
Ut is of course, fine and inspiring
TO see a man like the professor at
lending strictly TO business even
during the wee small hours and he
furnishes a good example for the
young. bu5 the public will be in
clined to doubt the usefulness OF
comets. Comet hunting is not a
lucrative occupation for any young
man to undertake if he is just mar
ried and has bought a house and lot
on a contract and furniture on the
installment plan Comet hunting is
not even so lucrative as is duck
hunting or frog leg hunting. 1t is
almost impossible to commercialize
a comet. 1t does not hold stiff long
enough. 1t can not be cornored and
confined in a tent for exhibition pur-
poses, for when 1t shows it occupies
a stage which is visible to the entire
world
This was one of the main faults
with Ialey's comet upon its last wis.,
TO the earth The heirs and assigns
of the late Prof. Haley could not
charge an admission. Prof. Brooks
has a whole flock Of trained comets
now lodging about here and there,
but he can not get them together for
a performance vaudeville. ANY
man can sit on his back pooh and
look at a comet without money and
without price and the man who dis.
covers and owns the finest comet in
the sky can never make cent out
OF it. -,
