70 The Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
. SIN: Tho position takoh by mo. as a membor
Of tho Board Of Directors OF our Public Library,
In regard to tho list Of books presented by A1r.
Onahan to tho Librarian, and by him ordered to
be purchased, is simply this:
Ffrst-Nclthcr an individual member Of tho
Board nor tho Librarian las right to order tho
purchase Of any list Of books without tho pro-
Yious order Of tho Board OF Directors. In tho
chso under discussion, such an order was not
had.
Second-To present List Of Catholic pub
locations for purchase Was novelty to mo. The
Board heretofore were unanimous on thts point,
TINT books were to DO purchased beoauBo they
wero such as ought to be found In q
public library, DO thoY books OF 4 Catholic,
prosostant jewish, or Athoistio nature; and not
because Catholics as such, protcstants aa ouch,
Jews as such, or 1nf1dolB As such, desired that
such purchases should DO made. In the lnttor
case, We would have to allow all tho diGorent
denominations md sects to como in md claim
their share OF the books, probably in certain
proportion to tha tax paid by tho followera Of
eaoh denomination; and the interests Of the
Public Library would layo to be subordinate to
tho requirements Of tho different religious or
ifrcligious bodics. Under our rulo, tho interests
Of tho public ut largo guido s in our selections,
and aectarianism must bo subordinate. Respect-
fully, JULIUS RosENTnAL.
