NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES. i I'h.la.erLeins and Agonians united tid> fiii r a reception to their new

ppy as wneu his shelves « ere ful1, but that was changed, and every facility was now afforded for circulation of good books.

The State school library had its origin sixty years ago in a law which allowed school districts to tix fiennelv.-s fjr libraries. This law was fouid to be in­operative—school districts would not tax themselves for this purpose. Then iu 183$ another law was passed appropriat­ing $55,000 a year to assist schoil libraries—the State saying to scioo! dis­tricts: "You give for libraries, and we will give as much more," and this went ou untiL over a million dollars had been spent, and about as many volumes had accumulated- Thea a provision was made allowing school districts to use their portion of the library fund for pay­ing teachers' wages, and the result was that after forty years more, during which about a million and a half of dollars had been spent, the number of librarj' books had been running down, and it was said the library system was a failure, not only in New York, but in several other States whtre the sxrne plan had been tried. Uuder the Jaw of 1892 the principle of central supervision was brought in, and thus what is b<;!ijv,id to have been a fatal defect was remedied. Under this law towns may establish libraries by vote, villages and school districts may do the same, and trustees of villages and boards id education may also establish libraries without a popular vote. The step3 neces-sarj' to be taken are as follows : in either eu^e trustees of the library are appointed, ar.il a cer ta in a m o u n t of m o n e y is a p p r o -

, priKttd: then appbfitiou is made to the • Regents of the University, and if all is satisfactory, the Keren's vote a charter, a n d t h e l ibrary is m a d e a part o f the [Tm-verMfv of ;he S've of Sew York, and S2'o is furi.^bt.1 annually by the State, '<> mat! h a like :.m mnt raised by the library.

Mr. Eistman alluded britfly to the traveling library system, by which sets of one hundred or £f y books from the State

| L;lirary are furnished to any locality wiih-' out a free librarj-, on payment of the ex-I pensts of transportation. His address i was listened to with close attention by i the and ence, and it is believed to have \ won many friends for Pittsburgh's future

adequate public library, which let us hope is not too far off in the future.

The State Normal School at Oaeonta was burned Feb. 15. lioss $150,000, in. surance STo.ODO. Tne Oneonta SLzr says:

The cause of the fire is as yet a mystery. All thit is known is that it stirt<jd in tha basement in the room in which isk^o: ths waste paper c illicted from the different room? in the building. The ro.im was next to the boiler and coal room, and o n -nected with it. Mr. Whitney, the engi-

j neer, was in the b tiler roim at 5 o'clock, i and Mr. Fern, the jtnitor, w n in the j waste paper room at atnut the sama timi.

Dr. Milne and Prof. Lynch left the school | building at 5.18, and hid only reacbtd the j bottom of the hill when Mr. Rjwe drove ! by them j'elling that the Normal was on j fire. T h e K e a t l e m e a hurr ied back t o t h e I bui'd ng, but were unable to eater it on

aecounfof the density of the stnike, al­though when they lift it about five min­utes before not a sign of smoke was notice­able.

Impossible as it was to enter the build­ing, nothing was saved, not even th; rec­ords of the school.

New quarters were secured at once for the Training Department in a business block, and for the Normil Department in the Oneonta Armory, and the regular woik of the school was resumed on Mon­ti ty, Feb. lit. New buildings for the s.-hool will De erected.

The opening of the Plattsburgh District Preachers' Institute on Monday evening, Feb. 19:b, proved a grand success. Rsv. S. M. Williams preached a very appropri­ate sermon on the Descent of the Holy Gbost. The preacher waxed warm and eloq lent and the congregation listened witu profoundjst attention.

O J Tuesday morning the members as­sembled: after a short devotioual service Rev. Joseph C. Booth read a paper on Preaching. What? How? How much? This created a very lively and prolonzed discussion in which every clergyman present took part;

The Rev. I. C. Fenton followed with a paper on the "Djctrine of Divine Provi­dence," which was very mush enjjyed and appeciated by all who beard it.

la tbe afternoon a very profitable time Wkg spent. Rev. J. H. Bond read a very valutole paper on Christianity vs. Church-inity. Rev. H. A. Durfee proved a good leader in the discussion.

"Mttico in Transition" Was reviewed by Rev. C. F. Van Sant.

Rev. £ . L. Ferris showed his power* of discussion in the remarks he made on ''The Superannuate and his Claim."

A very fine Exegesis was given by Rev. G. L. Thompson, on Rom 6, Chap. 1 to 11.

la the evening there was a verse plat­form meeting. Several very weighty sub-

, . - . - . . jicts brought before the people. "S*ve of one hydrant three streams, sometimes l a e Cnristiaa Sibbath" bvJ. L.

piyers, $745 00. Our old department used to cost us

$500 more than this sum. Tbe bast fig­ures we can make, takintr the rating of towns around us, and comparing them with our own, show an advantage of f?,000 to the insured. This sum, With the $500 saved in operatine the depart­ment, makes a total of f8 100 net gtin to our iahabitanis, saying nothicg about its better protection to that portiou of prop­erty which is insured by ourselves over what companies carry.

sonally by the companies: 1 four-wheel cart, owned by Citizens Hose. 1 - - - " Belief 1 " " " '" ITorieon " Edr]i company is supplied with a spray or cut-off

nozzle, necessary wrenches and tools. During the year I have furnished each of the

companies with a Siamese connection, which, in case of a lar»e fire, when large and powerful streams of water are needed, could be used to ad­vantage.

During the year there have been 14 fires and alarms which were responded to as follows:

April 11, Bromley & ioemeritfs. Bridge St. May 11, dwelling ou Oak St., occupied by3f.

Gonyea. Slav SI, Hart well blacksmith shop. May 23, >lay 25, Delaney coal sheds. JuneK, June K>. Mrs. F. C. Culver's millinery stock,

alarms were rung. June 5th. Mrs. Merritt's barn. Court St. 3fov. 26th, Stackpole's building. Kiver St. The losses and insurance on the above were as

follows: Mrs. P. C. Culver's millinerv stock, loss, 5577.90;

insurance $750; insurance paid. $577.90. 3. A. Uagar's dwelling, etc. . loss on barn. $385;

insurance. $300; insurance paid. $385. Loss on slock. $750; insurance $500; insurance paid, $500. Loss on dwelling, $15.00; insurance $2,500; insur­ance paid, $15.00.

Staekpole's building. River St.. loss on building. $30,011; insurance, $4,000; insurance paid, $30.00. Dustonsmith's loss (no insurance) $100.

During the year 1*8 two of our most important inanufauturing establishments, viz: Baker Bros' mill and the William's iHanufacturiog Co's factory have been equipped with automatic Bprlnklers of the dry and wet system combined. This improve­ment makes these establishments as thoroughly protected against interior fires as modern inven­tion can.

The village water system has also been extended during tbe year and now covers a large territory just annexed and uuite thickly populated south of the river and is well supplied with hydrants, but k quite remote from the apparatus. The bandings of the new gorernment barracks in this district will add to property t o be protected and I would reoominead that a cart and hose and a are alarm bos be local sd ia this district as aooa as possible.

WHAT TNET AIC SAY IRQ. Mr. Charles Frohmau, the well-known

manager, is credited with telling a young friend to "observe the postage stamp, the usefulness of which depends on its ability to stick to one thing until it gets there " He might have pointed tbe moral a notch further, aud told him that sometimes, as in the case tf the great, original, purple, prodigious, and only Columbian, the diili culty is to find anything to stick to.

At a recent auction of coins, an Amer­ican dollar of 1804 sold for 1(1,1)00.

A scientific authority urges that people sleep iu the wrong position, and the pil­low should be under the feet.

la her lecture before rum sis, a day or two ago, Madame Kurany, the Syrian del. egatetothe World's Congress of Repre­sentative women, said, am iu_r other things, tbat she was glad Syri m wooa^n did not have receptions, and that she thought them senseless things, and that women would not look so care-a-orn ff they did not have so many of them to at­tend. "You just go there and smile and bow, and tell peonle you aie glad to s<e them, when you are not." and, she added, that she wished she could get New York women to start the f v-hion of not hav ng iheui, she believed lln*y woul 1 be happier.
