And again:
Another great advantage of this
branch of the schoolhouse is that 1t gives
every home an almost ideal means or
communication with the library-and that
is one of the unsolved problems in a large
library-how the home may communicate
with the library. Thousands OF little
messengers travel every day from the
home to the school. All that is needed are
proper finding lists, and the children do
the trotting for a tired or busy father or
mother. AS means of communication
It is ideal, and nothing like 1t as means
of reaching the homes now exists. Think
that over few times. l am sure the
more you think of it the better you will
think It."
The possibilities of the school as a
music centre DR.. Howe believes can hard
ly be overestimated. He points out that
the old-fashloned singing school was
an outgrowth of the demand for COM
munity music, for folk singing, for which
the modern social centre again makes
provision.
THE public schools already expend a
substantial sam in the teaching Of music.

THE JUMEL RELICS.

Some further material of great interest
was at one time brought to this country
by the wife Of Baron Jumel, who later
became famous for her marriage with
Aaron Burr. When Napoleon was sent to
Elba he intrusted a number Of his be-
lorgings to Baron Jumel and later forgot
about them. Jumel, feeling that his posi-
ton was unsafe, gave them to his wife,
who brought a number OF them to this
country. For long time portions OF this
collection were to be seen at the Jumel
mansion in this city, while part OF
them was bequeathed TO Nine. Jumers
granddaughter.
Napoleon is always in order for the
collector and the extent Of his operations
makes many fine collections possible. To
those who take pleasure in the achieve
ments of another whose personality gives
lustre TO the garments, jewels and boot
Jacks and documents that were associated
with him Napoleon is treasure trove.
For, as Emerson has written concerning
the Emperor, "he has left library OF
manuscripts, a multitude OF sayings,
every one of widest application"

John Collier, secretary Of the National

THE problem of expense in introducing
the motion picture film into the school Is
complicated at present by the fact that
the school has to deal, In ordinary cases,
with the regular film exchange; has TO
pay relatively high rental for films
which ii uses once or twice day, and
has to fight for the right to select its own
films. The commercial manager is in
different to the programme. takes what
the exchange gives him, and runs the

high rental. The remedy for this con-
dition lies in organization; in the estab-
