Five hundred books of interest and profit to children from the nucleus of ttiis collection, which it iB trusted will be rapidly increased by donations of either new or secondhand books from all who are interested in funtiering this means of education.

Ml children will be welcomed to this department and will be assisted in the selection of books At the beginning of the current year the stenography and English rooms were remodeled, and the desks and chairs which had been in use in these rooms heretofore were set aside, to be given to any one who would like to make use of uhem.

As they will be donated to any one who will remove them it is trusted a suitable applicant mil soon appear.

The Foot Ball Association of the Polytechnic on Wednesday held its annual meeting at the institute Henry R. Codwise. 'HS, the retiring president, called ttie meeting to order, and the election of officers for the ensuing year was at once proceeded with, resulting in the election of D. O. Towle, '99, as president and Howard Xot man, 191)0, as secretary and treasurer.

Tfae attenvUuiee was considerably less than is usual at Polytechnic athletic meetings, and indee cl it was with difficulty that a quorum for the transaction of business could be secured. The cause for this lies in the fact that for title past three years no foot ball team has been maintained by the college, and therefore the association lias had only a nominal standing. 13tit had been hoped that sufficient interest might have been evinced to warrant plans for a representative eleven in the fall. The only circumstance tfoat now can conduce to this will be the entrance of enterprising players of the game with the incoming freshman class. Although it must be admitted that the Polytechnic seems rather to be losing tSan gaining in athletic interest in this particular field yet the outlook in other branches is very encouraging.

The game which High School had arranged with Lawroneeville with so much trouble was given up because of the lack of. funds.
