Chicago, Nov. 30, — Teachers. of 'journalism from fifteen Americ; universities, colleges and other edu- cational institutions met here today {at the Hotel Sherman to form a per- manent organization and to discuss various questions as to the best meth- ods to be employed in teaching prac- tical journalism. Prof. Fred Newton Scott of the University of Michigan, Dresided and the following institu- tions were represented-at the gather- ing: University of Michigan, Colum- bia University, University of Wiscon- sin, University of Illinois, University of Missouri, University of Oregon, In- diana University, De Pauw Univers- ity, University of Kansas and the state agricultural colleges of Iowa and Kansas. Dr. Talcott Williams, director :of the Pulitzer school of Journalism of Columbia University, delivered one of the most important addresses, on “Technical Instruction in' Journalism.” FORTY-SIX MILES OF BOOKS British Museum'’s Library ls Greatest In the World and Keepe on Growing. Many Americans must have studied as well as sat beneath the great dome of the British museum, and few of them will fail to remember the cour tesies which were always so gener- ously extended there by D. G. K, Fortescue, the ‘“keeper of printed ‘books.” The retirement of that official, after forty-two years of service, focuses new attention upon what has been called the greatest library in the world. When Panizzi took charge of the museum 'in 1837, it had a collec- tion of 250,000 volumes, all of them badly arranged and poorly catalogued When he relinguished his charge, thirty years later, order had been brought out of the chaos, and there were 1,500,000 books in the library. Doctor Fortescue succeeded him in 1579, and since that time the contents of the museum have grown by leaps and bounds, It now holds about 4, 000,000 volumes, arranged pn shelves which, if put end to end, would stretch A distance of 46 miles, with the num- ber increasing at the rate of 50,000 volumes a year. In 1880 work was begun on the great catalog, and there are now 98Q volumes of it, from 16 to 20 being added every year. A complete set of these printed lists—and they have not yet been brought up to date— costs nearly $500. It is an interesting fact that this mighty collection of books 18 the youngest of the great libraries of Europe, and began with- out any regular income.—Boston Herald. GOATS WILL PROTECT SHEEP Penneyivanian Keeps Two Angorag to Drive Away Panthers and Other Animals of :Prey, In order to frustrate.an attack on kis flock of sheep by a catamount, or panther, David Glover of near Haney: ville has purchased two Angora goats, The pugnacity of these .goats is such that no animal of prey dare attempt to despoll a flock. The sheep raisers of that wild seo tion have suffered ‘severe losses tq their flocks of late years since the big Increase in black bears and cata mount, and now with a real panther In the neighborhood it became neces pary to do something desperats. Mpn Glover hit upon the Angora goat idea, and it seems to have settled the prob lem.

As to 8pelling, Consolation for people whose spell ing is faulty was contained in the ad- dress delivered recently by Sir James Donaldson, prineipal of St. Andrews' university, to the education section of the British association in. Dundee. Nothing like our spelling existed any- where, he said. Other nations had phonetic: spelling, but we were terri- bly behind other nations. “We are slaves of the printers. If we do not spell according to them, they change Jus over and over again—and there is no redress.” The right way for teach: jers was not to regard spelling as a [valuable exercise at all. Everyone hould be allowed to spell as they ked, just as Shakespeare did, just as r ancestors did, and just as many ents of the present day would like eir children to learn.

When 4 set of one hundred has been reached a special premium of $25 will be given. Thus for one hundred subscriptions the society securing them will have received a cash gift of $125. If a club secures but seventy-five yearly subscriptions, it will receive $75; if but fifty yearly subscriptions, $50; and if only ten are secured a cash gift of $10 will be made. For one six months subscription to the Daily Pioneer, fifty cents will be paid, and for each additional six months subscriptions secured the rate will be paid the same. Thus, when two hundred of these six months subscriptions have been turned in, an addi- tional gift of $25 will be given. A six months subscription counts just half of a yearly subscription for the Daily Pioneer. One yearly subscription to the weekly Pioneer counts same as ix months to the Daily, the only difference being ‘the subscrip- tion price which is $1.50 a year. The Daily for six months is $2 and the Daily for one year is $4. Free Premiums will be given to every subscriber.
