But we Advertisements are a part of every paper which should be read, as well as the regular reading matter. We keep our advertisements strictly separate from our reading matter for the convenience of our subscribers in binding the volumes of the Journal, and to insure them the full amount of reading for which they have paid. One publishing firm refuse to advertise with us unless we will agree to put their advertisement on the same page with our reading matter and no other advertisements on the same page. prefer to lose their advertisement rather than to rob our subscribers. We try to protect our subscribers also from all immoral or fraudulent advertisements, and are constantly refusing such as fast as they are offered to us. We ask our subscribers in return to read carefully each advertisement. Frequent changes are made in them, and you cannot assume that the advertisements are the same from month to month. This month for instance, there is scarcely anything which remained exactly as it was last month. Hotel Elmore. SAFE. Nearly all the World's Fair hotels are dangerous fire-traps, as is proved by the enormous rates of insurance charged upon them. Do not risk your life in them, but go to a cottage hotel where there is no danger from fire. SANITARY. Although it is not likely that the cholera will come, there are equal dangers from impure drinking water, and from sewer gas and other sources of contagion in large buildings and great crowds, as well as from sitting around in cold and damp rooms in bad weather. We furnish fire when needed without extra charge We sterilize all the water used for drinking and for cooking. We furnish pure air by natural ventilation. We take the utmost care of the health of our guests. A large part of Chicago is built on a marsh. We are on a dry sandy ridge. QUIET.-Get away from the noise and confusion all around the exposition grounds, night and day, into a quiet residence section. After being in a crowd all day you want quiet at night. Comfortable.-Comfort is worth something. It is worth something to know that you are in a religious and moral residence section of the great city-far away from the slums with their vice and crime, far away from saloons with their annoyances-and that you are among a class of people with whom you would be glad to associate, and that you are close to churches where strangers are cordially welcomed, which is not the case down-town. It is worth something to be able to get a seat on a car and to get to your destination in a few minutes, rather than to wait ten minutes in a perfect jam of people before you can even get standing room, and then stand up in a crowded car in motion. If you wish to stop, while at the World's Fair, in a safe, sanitary, quiet and comfortable place, go to the Hotel Elmore. We can furnish cheaper accommodations which will not have all these advantages. We can furnish more expensive accommodations. But we can best recommend the Hotel Elmore to the readers of the WISCONSIN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION, as what they wish. Mr. Wright, our president, expects to make that his home during the Exposition rather than any of the other places which we shall either manage ourselves or be agents for. If engaged in advance the cost of rooming will be $1.00 a day each for two in a room. Board can be obtained in the hotel for $1.00 a day or fifty cents a meal. A day's board will include two good meals and a lunch to be taken to the Exposition. Electric cars run from the Hotel Elmore to the Exposition in a fifteen minute trip, at a cost of five cents. Remember it is an hour's ride by cable car from the Exposition up town, and much more if you go over on the north or west side of the city.

Its aim is, by personal recommendation, to supply vacancies with teachers. I cannot be of much service to any teacher whom I do not know well enough personally or by reputation to recommend on my own responsibility. I want to become acquainted with competent teachers in all grades-from the kindergarten to the university. Such teachers are always in demand. Superintendents and employers of teachers may always depend on satisfactory service, and correspondence is solicited when vacancies are to be filled. Teachers may obtain enrollment blank by sending a 2 cent postage. stamp. No fee for registration. Address S. R. WINCHELL, 262 Wabash Avenue, Chicago.
