Describes Library Work
In Dr. Ada'ns' lecture, "Some
Treasures of the William Clements
Library," he gave a brief resume of
the types of materials collected,
namely: maps, manuscripts, books,1
and, more recently, newspapers. ;
Dr. Adams said that the Williaml
C. Clements library possesses many1
very rare, old books, among which is
a copy of "Americanos." printed in
1544 in Mexico City, which was the
first book printed in America. At the'
present time, there are only 5 known+
copies in existence, he said.
Prof. Thomas H. Reed last night
at the League deplored the fact'
that more attention was spent by
teacher-training institutions in me-

tional training of teachers.
He blamed the educational system

Foundling Tricycle
Left With Lost And
Found Department
The University lost and found de-
partment has never had a tricycle
turned in. At least not until yester-
day. Now a nice shiny new green ve-
locipede adorns the counter in Sec-
retary Smith's office, providirj a
touch of variety among the many
textbooks and fountain pens.
It all happened this way, Dr. C. W.}
Edmunds, of the Medical School, had
his car parked behind the pharma-
cology building. His daughter, Ann
Edmunds, "33, noted campus actress,
started to drive home at noon, and
was astounced to findf a tricycle
parked in the back seat of the car.
Cross examination of B & G attend-
ants, who admitted having seen bi-
cycles and roller skates galore, failed
to reveal any trace of a young gentle-
man seen riding a three-wheeler.
So if some little boy wants his
tricycle back, it's over in Room 3,
University Hall, much to the dismay
of the office force.

Eight to Be Republicans
Thirteen are to be named and
eight must be Republicans. The bal-
ance of the commission will be
named later when the Governor has
completed a check to determine
whether all those he had in mind
met the qualifications laid down by
the law. It requires that no member
of the commission be intrested in
the manufacture or sale of beer or
wine.
The Governor hopes to have the
list completed in time to send to .the
Senate for confirmation Friday
morning. He may call a special
meeting of the State Administrative
Board to fix the amount of bond re-
quired from members. Before the
commission can start to function
funds must be filed and approved.
The Senate must confirm the ap-
pointments, and a "managing direc-
tor" must be named by the commis-
sioner.
