TOPEKA SKETCH CLUB.
This club was organized in 1885. It is composed of artists and lovers of art. Their object is mutual improvement, and the development of their branch of science. Weekly meetings of the club on Wednesday evenings, in Library Hall. The officers are Seymour Davis, president; George M. Stone, sec- retary.
In addition to the numerous clubs described above, Topeka has political clubs, base ball clubs, flambeau clubs, polo clubs, bicycle clubs, whist clubs, stuffed clubs, policemen's clubs, and every kind of a club in existence. In fact, clubs have been declared trumps in this vicinity by special act of a large num- ber of the members of the last Legislature.

WASHBURN COLLEGE.
The grounds and buildings belonging to this college are sit- uated on an eminence one and a half miles southwest of the State House, and are accessible by street cars from the city.
IZICHICAGO
The site includes over one hundred and fifty acres. Street cars run regularly from railway depots to the college grounds. The location is one of the most healthful and desirable that could

be secured, sufficiently near to enjoy the advantages of a city of 30,000 inhabitants, and at the same time favored with the retirement of a suburb.
The college was founded under the auspices of the Congre- gational churches of Kansas. It is not a sectarian institution. Its object is to give the highest and best culture. It fosters moral and religious influences as the best safeguards of youth.
BUILDINGS.
The main edifice, shown above, is complete as represented. The building is of stone, massive and substantial, and is one of the finest edifices in the State. In addition to this, three other buildings have been erected-one hall for young men, and two cottages for young women. The trustees purpose to erect soon a library building and a ladies' hall.
The collegiate courses are: the classical, the scientific and the literary. The studies prescribed in each, and the requisites for admisssion, sufficiently indicate the standard of scholarship. The order and grade of studies compare favorably with similar courses in the best institutions in the land. The Chas. Bos- well fund of $10,000, the Moses Day fund of $2,500, the Wm. Hyde scholarship of $1,000, the Chas. B. Botsford scholarship of $1,000, the Smith & Wood scholarship of $1,000, and the E. A. Bartlett scholarship of $500-total, $16,000-are funds established by the respective donors whose names are indicated. The interest on these funds is appropriated in aid of students who need and deserve help. This aid is usually given as a re- muneration for work. In this way the income of the funds inures to the benefit of the institution, while at the same time the student earns the money received. The income from some of these funds can be applied in aid of young women.
Young men having the ministry in view, if in need, are aided by the American College and Education Society to the amount, usually, of one hundred dollars a year. This aid is not available until one enters the collegiate course, and may be received as a gratuity, or as a loan payable after the recipi- ent is settled in the work of the ministry. Should the recipient not enter the ministry, the money so received is to be refunded.
Other information regarding this college may be obtained by addressing Rev. Peter McVicar, president, at Topeka, Kas.
THE COLLEGE OF THE SISTERS OF BETHANY.
The College of the Sisters of Bethany is so well known throughout the country, that an extended history of its origin and object is deemed unnecessary in this work. Its growth and development during the past ten years has been very rapid and gratifying. Its management has been entirely satisfactory, and its future prospects are bright and promising. With

patronized, not only by the members of the church of this diocese, but by all the people of our State. As the only in- stitution of the sort under Protestant control in the State, it ought to be regarded by the Protestants of the State, of what- ever denomination of Christians, as their especial pride; so they ought, by their liberal cooperation with us in their pat- ronage, to make it in every respect what it ought to be.
This institution contains a kindergarten school, a primary, a preparatory and a collegiate department, enabling it to begin and complete the education of girls in the substantial as well as ornamental branches.
BUSINESS COLLEGES.
Two well established business colleges are located here, where young men and women may receive a practical business education, under the tutorage of able and experienced teachers. Circulars and information regarding scholarships may be ob- tained on application.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
This city takes just pride in her public school system. It includes primary, grammar and high school departments. The course of study is complete and the instruction thorough. Of the work of each department in the system, Superintendent Tillotson, in his last annual report, says:
"Our course of study extends over eleven, or from one to two years less than that of most cities. Realizing that few

pupils can devote that time to school work, we have divided it into three divisions, each as complete in itself as may be. The primary division covers a period of four years, and is arranged to meet the wants of those who can give but a short time to school. It is intended that those who complete the primary course shall be able to read and write readily, shall be drilled in composition and letter writing, the fundamental rules of arithmetic, including common fractions, and shall have a good general notion of geography. The grammar division covers a period of three years, and is arranged to give a good, practical English education; and the high school department covers a period of four years, and is arranged to give a good academical or preparatory training to those desiring it.
"Eleven years sounds like a good deal of time, but a pupil may complete our full course at eighteen; and, if he wishes, he may complete a collegiate course at twenty-two or twenty- three. How many men has the world produced who were fully equipped for the duties of life at twenty-three? Not one. Maturity cannot be secured by forcing. It requires time. Pre- cocity is undesirable, because it never meets the expectation of its friends, and in the long run is surpassed even by well- applied mediocrity."
The graduates of the high school department number 77, and are organized into a society known as the Alumni of the Topeka High School. Its members rank among the most worthy young people of the city.
Fifty-five teachers are employed in the schools; in another year over sixty will be needed. The daily attendance is about 3,000 pupils. In order to secure the room that the crowded condition of our schools demands, the Board will invest about $50,000 in school houses this year.

LIBRARIES.
TOPEKA FREE LIBRARY.
No other institution in this city has found more favorable public sympathy, encouragement and general favor than has her public library. It is the city's pride, and is held in high appreciation by the thousands who constantly avail themselves of its valuable privileges: In 1880 the A. T. & S. F. R. R. Co. and the Union Pacific R. R. Co. donated to the library $25,000 for the purpose of erecting a magnificent building for its use, conditionally that the building be erected upon the State House grounds. The proposition was submitted to the Legislature the following winter, who granted the privilege, and the hand- some building was completed and thrown open to the public on the 7th day of April, 1883. This munificent gift of the railroad companies stands, as a memorial of their good will to Topeka and their liberality, in the northeast corner of the Capitol square, and about equal distance between Jackson and Van Buren streets. The building consists of two stories and base- ment, and is of cream-colored stone, tastefully trimmed with red sandstone, the roof being covered with Akron tile. Its general dimensions are 100 feet by 55 feet, and it is handsomely fin- ished in walnut, ash, and white pine. The first floor, set apart for library purposes, is divided so as to furnish reading rooms at either end, and the necessary apartments for the work of the librarians and the board of directors, all of which are elaborately and conveniently furnished. The library now has over 8,000 books on its shelves, and has accommodations for ten times that number in its handsome and commodious quarters. The second story of the building is designed for an art gallery, and is complete in all its arrangements. The library is free to all citizens of Topeka, subject to the rules and regulations that have been adopted to govern it.

LIBRARY OF THE STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
This library was established for the object chiefly of collect- ing in the State Capitol the materials of the history of Kansas, in respect to its antiquities, its political career, its institutions, and its material development. It contains upwards of 20,000 volumes of books, pamphlets and newspaper files, and many thousands of manuscripts. It has the portraits of many public men and of persons distinguished in the history of Kansas, and pictured views of stirring scenes in the early events of Kansas history, and many relies of early Kansas times-of the War of the Rebellion, etc. This library and museum is in the west wing of the Capitol. It is the property of the State, and is being made up and cared for by the Kansas State Historical Society. The history of every portion of the State is repre- sented in the newspaper files and other documents in this library.
SWEDISH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.
Was organized in October, 1879, for the purpose of collect- ing Swedish, American and German literature, and to be conducted as a circulating library. The association is in a prosperous condition, and is adding new books constantly to supply the wants of its fast increasing membership. The library is located at 147 Kansas avenue; Alex. Rudoff, presi- dent; Andrew Johnson, treasurer, and John Watts, librarian.
STATE LIBRARY.
As its name implies, it belongs to the State, and is located in the east wing of the Capitol building, under the supervision of a librarian appointed by the Governor. No books are allowed to be taken away except by special permission, but free access is allowed to all to inspect or read them in the rooms belonging to the library.
WASHBURN COLLEGE LIBRARY.
For the benefit of its students, the board of directors of this institution of learning have provided a handsome and valuable library, now comprising over five thousand volumes of carefully selected literature, to which is constantly being added scientific, historieal, poetical and biographical works. It is destined to become one of the largest and most valuable collections in the West.
