An Irish library which will contain
a collection of books relating to the
history. literature and economies OF

been subscribed for the purchase of
the hooks. To arouse enthusiasm in
the movement ST. Patrick's day cele-
bration viii be held at music hall at
the university at Madison on the night

The idea Of establishing the library
originated with Dr. Richard T Ely OF
the university during his travels in
Ireland last year While in that coun-
try he communicated with Rev. P. p
Knox of st. Patrick's church. Madi-
son, and upon his return home took
up the matter with Father Knox
Doctor Ely was greatly impressed
with Ireland and he concluded that it
would be an excellent thing TO estab-
fish library in Wisconsin containing
books relating TO the history. litera
ture and economics of the Emerald
isle
Through the efforts of Father Knox
the Ancient Order of Hibernians Of
Wisconsin created and provided the
fund necessary to obtain the books,
The obtaining of the fund was taken
up in connection with the special
study of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans OF the literature and economic
conditions Of Ireland The establish
ing of library was first discussed at
dinner given by Doctor Ely to Sir
Horace Plunkett upon the latter's visit
to Madison. In the library it is pro-
posed to hang upon the walls two
paintings of Irish scenery, the work
of the Irish artist George w Russell
of Dublin. Arthur l.. Peabody, the
university architect has prepared an
artistic book plate for the library

Mechanics Given Scholarships.

The demand for professionally
trained mechanics to teach in indus
trial schools has led the regents of
the University of Wisconsin to create
10 industrial scholarships, carrying a
special honorarium of $40. The hold.
ers OF these scholarships are to be or.
gEni2ed into mechanics institute on
the campus Of the university from
March 8 to April 9, to give intensive
practice in special lines of shopwork
and drawing, and to give detailed
teaching problems
The necessity for such an institute
Is manifested by the fact that men en-
rolled in the special industrial and
trade teachers courses given in Mil
mauken and in Madison by the univer-
sity for mechanics interested in teach
ing have. in many instances, been
urged to accept appointments to teach
ing positions before completing pre-
paratory work
Three courses will be offered. Two
will be three hour courses. daily. One
will be I'm shopwork, and the other in
drafting and free hand perspective. In
each emphasis will be placed upon the
development of courses OF study and
the appropriate method of demon
strating them. A one hour course will
be given in which the problems OF or
ganization and maintenance of indus
trial school work win be discussed.
and in which demonstrations will be
outlined. In connection with this
course all members of the institute
will observe the work OF regular in
structors In the continuation schools
Of Madison and in the high school
classes in the department of manual
arts at the university. Each member

assistant instructor in the high school
classes of this department.

tongue. and who speak it in soft, pleas
ing voices. Perhaps it is because the
other races have generally failed to
understand the people of Ireland that
the inhabitants of the land, although
cordial, assume a reserve with
strangers. If, however, a tourist
boasts OF a relationship with one of
their countrymen he is at once taken
into the hearts of the people, who
love to feel a fellowship with their
guests.
The traveller who selects the city
of Dublin for his sightseeing in Ire
land Will never feel that he has seen
the land Excepting the fact that one
hears there the soft, musical voices of
the people and sees at the hotels aris-
tocratie old ladies' often wearing long
white wells extending from the backs
of their heads to the trails of their
dres.ss In the style worn by Queen
Victoria, and excepting the fact that
one eats corned beef and cabbage

middle Of a very hot summer and yet
enjoys it, one would hardly realize
that he is IN Erin's isle.

TIERNEY RE-MEASURED.
MAY Get COPS JOB

Francis X. Tieney, who failed in the
physical examinations for position ON
the local police force owing to the
measuring board at Chief Blacks office
showing he was under height, this
morning passed the examination and
will now undergo the mental examina-
tion. Following the rejection of Mr..
Tierncy and Sergeant Joseph A. Davis,
both of whom according to the measur-
ing board of the police department,
were about one or two-eighth inches
short of the required height, there was
some dissatisfaction over the board.
In order to straighten out the mat
ter the police commissioners requested
the city engineers to measure the
board. This they did, with the result
that the board was found inaccurate. It
is Thought that Sergeant Davis will now
be remeasured.
