erhauling and those in condition unfit
for further use removed and new ones
substituted The volumes in the school

hauling and listing. After this is done
several new volumes will be added if
they do not already appear on the
lists. This is possible through the
kindness Of the Humane Society
which has donated considerable num-
Der Of volumes, and the revision Of the
lists will save duplication that would
have otherwise resulted.
