READY FOR THE SHRINERS What the Committees Are Doing to Insure a Great and Svocessful Week, KNIGHTS TEMPLAR WHO WILL VISIT OMAHA pects for n Magnificent Ovation to Vis- & Nobles—Oth Soclety News in Which Thousands of Peo- ple Are Directly Interested, Prov it Secret All the committees appointed to prepara for tho coming of the Suriners are actively at work and last evening the raports made by the various bodies working in harmony with the exccutive committee showed that details were well advarced and a big crowd of Striners and Knigbts Templar will be in Omaha August 1316, Omaha should take a lesson from Denver in the manner of caring for the representa tive secret society of the world, for it is quite within the range of possibility that our own city will be a strong candidate for tri- ennial conclave honors in six years, cer- tainly in nine. Courtesics extended now will come back to us fourfold in the coming years and the good people of Omaha will o6 richer in reputation than ever before through their offorts made to vroperly entertain the “high rollers’ of the Mystie Strine. 3 “The transportation committes last evening reported that they had succeeded in securing & one and onc-third rate for Omaba during the visit of the imperial council within a radius of 250 miles, a rate which the, would like 1o have re- ducod to one fure, but which was antagonized by several Kansas roads. This rate, however, was made upon the idea that a groat proportion of tho crowd to stop off here on the days above menticned would wavel on Kmghts Templar tickets, but Colonel Akin stated that western lowa and even towns in Nobraska would be largely affected by the rate and although not exactly what they wanted was very mucn better than notning, upon the economic principle no doubt that “taifa loaf is better than uo bread.”” Chairman Crumb of the caravan com- mittee made a lengthy report which was full of cheer for the members of the executive committee, and showed features that would prove big winners on the night of the varade. Temples all over tho country are preparing for the parade and it would not be surprising 10 see, iu addition 10 several eiepants, a big herd of camels add realism to the passing of the caravan, Whilo money has been raised to proverly entertain the members of the Mystic Shrine tho committce on ways and means is not recciving any great en- couragement in raising a4 necessary fund 1o take « of tne Knights Templar who will be the zuests of th visit of the imperial council.” People are slow to make donntions for the reason thut whey bave been so umversully ‘“fim- flammed” duriug the past six mouths that it seems udding insult 1o injury to ask them to dounte uny more money toward a public en- tertainment. But cven under these diseouw aging circumwstances the committee believes thiat when the numoer of visitors is definitely kuown the peovle of Omaha will aid materiatly in properly ontertainiue the visiting Knights Templar, for which o fund of $10,000 15 de- sired, The comuittee of tho Shrine is actively at work on the program for the visit of the im- perial council, but will not have it com- pleted before next week. By that time it may be possible to publish a fist of tke tem- ples coming and the number in ench temple. >cnnsylvania Deaver club of will arrive in Omaha_on , At 2:30 p. m. from Den- we at 5 o'clock same day by way of the Chicavo, Burlington & Quincy for Chicago.

It is proposed to have a train of five most elaborately decorated cars, consisting of three exhibition cars, a baggage car and a Puilman sleeper. Space will ve allotted thirty countics, and those which first apply will be first served, so that the counties which wish a representation would do well to send 1n their applications. tach county represented will be requived to furnish at 1 5,000 copies of advertisig pamphlets, aud these are to be gotten up in such artistic shape tnat they will be moro likely to be pre- served as souveuirs thau o go into the wasto nsket, “The train will start on the week following the state fair, so that work doue for the ex- hibition there may be made to answer a double purpose, The proposed route to be traveled will take the train througn to Boston and the cars spen to inspection in the states of Ohio, New York and Massachusetts.

Wentz, 1607 Douglas streot. i ANNOUNC to not more than Something like two or three years ago Prof. Gentry came 0 Omaha with a dop show. He spent a week in this city, e took his dogs all over town oue day, walking them, the next day taking them round in carriages, the bright and handsome animals being beautifuily decorated with gaily col- ored ribvous, Thoy attracted a vast amount of attention wherever they were seen, and they were daily exhibited in every part of tho city. He gave three performances, one Friday evening, one Saturday matinee, und the closing performunce Satucday evening. At the matinee on Saturday the audience, which was composed largely of ladies and children, commenced to gather soon after 1 o'clock, und after the doors were opened an incossaut throng of people poured into the house. I'wo vox oftices wero opened and ad- ditional tickets wern sold in the lobby. The curtain was due to go up at bhulf past 2, but so great was the crush that it was impossi- vle to rmse the curtain until at 3:15 o'clock, when the house was packed to its utmo capacity, and a throng of people four to five deep, extending for a block from tue house, and wway o the corner of Cupitol avenue and Sixteenth street, was not able to obtain adwission. It was the wost remarkabio watinee over given in Omaba, The next time that Prof. Gentry came to Omaha bo brought with him ser erai ponies, in aadition 1o his dogs, and he was again favored with lurge nudicnces at the Grand. He has sinco bis last visit cousiderably eularged his show. until it hus become too lavee for n theater. He exhivits under a large tent, which will bo spread on the corner of Eighteenth and Faruam streets, and ho will gIV0 therein o performance every night this week, commenci tomorrow night, with Wednesday and Saturday matinees. All the hundreds of ladies aud children who hereto- fore have seen the suow, and 1n addition the largo number who have heard of its excel- lence, will desire to seo it agalo this week. The show veiuw given under a tent it will bo much cooler than in an opera house and more enjovable on that account. The admis- sion will Do 10 and 20 cents. William J. Sayers and his company of su- perb specialists, which be has recently or- ganized, are at present in the city, arriving yesterday. They will rehearso’ the ‘new prece entitied “Cupid on Wheels" on the stage of the Boyd and on August 5 will give its tirst production at that theater. Toe first performance of the season at Boyd's new theater will be Neitie McHenry in hor new play called “Fuu_at the Circus,” which will be seen there on Sunday evening, July 24, ¥red Peel, Miss McHenry's man- ager, will be in the city tomorrow.

BOOKS THE CHILDREN READ How the Public Library Might Be Utilized Under the Teachers' Guidance. MENTAL PABULUM FOR OMAHA'S PUPILS of Interest dicted for Lack xtraseholastic Dovelopment Sehoolma‘ums r the of T s holars' Min “Best' Books. That the question as to whether the public library shall supplement or rival public school education, especially in the grammar grades and the two grades next below, is oune of absorbing interest, and one which overy city of any pretensions will be called upon to consider seriously or be distanced in tbe race for education, is obvious from the atteation which has baou called to this sub- ject allover the country As long agoas 1583 was published a col- lection of adiresses which include: “The Public Library and the Public School," by Charles Francis Adams, jr., to the teachers of Quincy, Mass.; *“I'ie Relation of the Pub- lic Library to the Public School,” by Samuel 8. Green, librarian of the Worcester, Mass., public library, read beforo the American Seience asscciation, 1880; “Libraries as E cational Institutions,” by the same, embodied in his yearly report before the American Library association at Cincimnati, May, 1882; “The Public Library as an Auxiliars to the PublicSchool,” real by Robert C. Metealf, mast the Wells school, Boston, bafore the an Institution of Iustruction, Saratoga, 188 “A Plan of Systematic Trainirg in Roadlng at School,” by W. E. Foster, published in Library Journal, 1383; "L'ue Relation of Libraries to Schools,” read by William K. Foster boforo the Rhode 1sland Institute of lnstruction, 1850, This httle volume of about 100 pages is worthy of the careful attention of superintendents and teachers and were it widely read and attentively considered by the latter would' no doubt revolutionize and muke a change for the betler in the reading of our bupils. The several methods by which the public library and the puolic school may becomo complementary to each other are troated of at somo length, Mr. Adams said in effeot “that the most that any teacher could do was to start a pupil on the road to eaucate himself, yot not one teacher in twenty does this; the way to do it is to leave the mechanical and consider tue individual, and it 1s iu this part of educa- tion that the public livrary should becoms a valuablo aid if the teacher could and would direct and oversee the reading of the pupil.” Carrying out this theory, the public libra- ries in some castern cities have granted un- usual privileges to pupils and teachers. A “Peacters Card” has been issued which permits the owner to draw several books at oue time; the teacher is invited to muke a personal inspection of the shelves aud chooso such books us sho thiuks proper to use. Many of the children bring their cards to school; the teacher chooses the books to be read, lus them brought to the schoolroom I from thence distributes thew to the children, This way apoears to bo an admirable ono and need not necessarily emoarrass any teacher even if she be a poor judge of books, for the Librarians aro always able and will- ing to help such. In Mr. R. C. Metcalf’s address he describes the mode of procedure in what we may term a lesson in_“‘how to read.”’ Mrs. Whitney’s story “A Summer in Leslie Geldtnwaite’s Life' was reaa by the entiro class who took a fow uotes and then dis- cussed the merits and demerits of the chal acters, showiug plainly by their remarks that thoy had been impressed by the saticnt points of thie story. This is good work, only it seems tike wasting good ammunition on small game to chooze suck: a story for discus- sion when one chapter from*‘Les Miserables” would have giveu them thoughts for u lifa time, s well as the benefit of the discussion. Not that the story meutioned is not a pure and wholesome ove, only it could have been read by the pupils without any but the slightest passing notice. ‘The subject matter of the reading must bo rogulated by what the children ave, and yet it seems that even the veriest dullard inust ve sbarpened by the constantfriction of minds which would be the result of a continued line of reading conducted on the above plan. Last year the Omaha public library sent towach teacher a catalogue of reading for the young and many ot taem have been returned to the library 1 such a state of newness as Lo warrant the assumption that they had been little used. The catalogue is well made, the selections are first vate and a live or twoof explanation after the ttle shows exactly what the book contains, It further coutiins an index to periodicals by which this valuable literaturo may play its part when its day of freshness is past, ‘Ihere is evidence that the catalogues have been used by many of the children. One teacher was in the habit of occasionally ask- ing her pupils, “How many of you are read- ing some book now?’ or, **What books are you reading ’ and the 'unswers at different times, besides a good deal of lighter ficuicn, iucluded this list: “Don Quixote,” *Ivan hoe,” *“Ben Hur," *The Brido of the Nile,” “The Boy Traveler in the Kast,” “Blue Jackets of 1512, “Conquest of Mexico.” On the whole, the reading of Omaha'a boys and girls, as shown by the records of the public library, is commendabie and shows a steady advance in the kind of read- ing matter choser, and this encouraging stute of affairs 1s OWing in a great measuro to the entbusiusm and zeal of the librarian, Miss Alian, whose good judgment, tact and patience bave led many a httlo’ Omahan from the husks of juvenile literature to tho best at the king's tublo, Ono fact 1s apparent and that is that the books written especially for boys are_ away ahead of the ‘namby pamby sLufl cal ks for girls,” which, with fow exceptions, are the quintessence of inan- ity, Hereis afield for a teacher. Get the pivls Lo reud the boys' books; vhy not! They eat the same food ; they study the same los- s0us: indecd one bright little girl was heard wsay that she ‘“nover tooka girls’ book from the library-—there was nothing to ‘em.” The boys know when they have s good thing and make constant calls for Maurico Tuompson’s delightful books oo outdoor sports, the Zigzag series of travels in many lands, Stevenson’s “Travels With a Don- key,” Stockton’s “Personally Conducted,” Stanley’s travels in Africaand Paul du Chaillu’s adventures 1n different countries, Greely's *Wonderful City of Tokio," Lieu- tquant Schwatka's books on the unknown north, Ober's travels in many countries, Kuox's oxcellent sories on tho same subject. Historical literature is very popular, and 10 this line comes ths following list of 'superior books: Willis J. Abbot's United States series (six copies of these are kopt going), Coffin’s, Drake's, Towle’s on the samo sub: ject, Dickens' “Child’s History of England,” i A, Henty's choico array, Brooks' *His- toric Boys.” Bulltineh’s “Ago of Chivalry" aud “Age of Fable," “Robin Hood,” by Howara Pyle, same by John B, Marsh, Sid noy Lauier's fine compiiations woich unionk some of our finest old literawure, Of course, fiction, which 1 named last, comes first; aud here, with the boys, stories of adyenture have preference. Mayuo Reid, Maryatt, R H. Dana ano many lesser Lights ure always asked for, Miss Alcott's works are popular with both sexes. Thirty copies of ‘“Little Women” are kept 1o circulation. “Little Lord Faunt- leroy’' is a favorite with a youuger class and twolve copies of tnis book are kept. All of Mrs. Burnett’s children’s stories ar eagerly sought for. Bodley books of travel by Hor- ace Scudder and Falmer Cox's Brownie stories, the latter with thelr tuking aud mirth-provoking illustrations, are a sourco of unalloyed pleasure. A good many of the girls choose trasby books writton for adults; there is no special reason why the girls sbould read the books made for them, for, oxcept au epitomized edition of Miss Strick: 1and’s *\Jueens of Englang,"” whioh is above criticism; *Historie Girls,"” vy E. Brooks: *“I'he Girls' Book of Outdoor Sports,” by Maurice Thompson; Mrs. Champney's' Vas- ar Gir) series, whioh does Lot compare with the poys' books on & like subject, the list ends abruptly for the purpose of comparison. It may seem oda, when Omaba's remoteness from the ocean is remembvered and cousider- 11g that the Missouri river is uot extensively HA DAILY BEE used for boating, that the boys seem to have @ craze on the subject of ships, yachis and ' canoces, and in this connection R H. Dana's SUND On scientifio anh)a]ln, electricity comes the front, many of the boys baing engaged in reading on this fascinating subject and mak- ing practical experiments. Natural history has its students, the the most readers, Eajry tales nover lose their charms for the #bdron and we find a man of Georg Ebers' stamp recommending them in terms of thé highest praise.

Anexporiment wasHiléte lately by thelibra- rian, which though protvctive of no tangible results was worthy §f, success and in tho Bands of ‘an Intorestel teacher might havo been the means of*Homg an incaleulable amount of good. Twenty-five good books (no fiction) wero sent to a certain with tho request that the elder pupils be por- mitted to examio and handle thom, the theory boing that books thus known make an impression where the printed name ina catalogue means nothing, The books were returned without comment, Itis impossiblo to estimate the influence which a teacber may make on the minds of ner pupils in_encouraging them to read good books, but when a High school teacher sends her class to read “*One Summer'* 1t is & mat- tor of wonder what she expocted them to gain from it.
