Training School for Children's Librarians
The spring term of the school closed June 16 and the summer
term began June 25. As heretofore, the practice work of
the summer term will be devoted almost entirely to work in
the library deposit stations in the summer playgrounds and
vacation schools.
The students have been enjoying a course of instruction in
the practical details of printing, given them in this Library's
Printing department by its superintendent, Mr William H.
Schwarten. This department is now in its new quarters with
most of its new furniture finished and in use.
