ONLY EXPERTS CAN BE USED
Librarian Spofford Talks About Ap-
pointments TO Be Made.
OF Three Thousand Applicants Only
so Per Cent Can Be Con-
sideTed.

A little learning leads some men into
grayest trouble; others, it makes wise in
their own conceit.
Thousands of people believe themselves
fully qualified to assist Librarian Spofford
In the management of the Congressional
Library; yet, OF that number, so per
cent never studied inde king, cataloguing G
or classifying. Seventy-five per cent read
no other than the English language, and
that not very perfectly. Each has a sys-
= tenn of his own for the indexing of publ
cations, and there are some who would
venture to give the experts pointers.
The great mistake made by all the
applicants for appointment in the Con-
gressional Library is, that they lose sight
Of the fact that these positions require
expert knowledge 1t is amusing to see
how large is the number of applicants
whose only recommendation is that they
have lead great deal, or that they love
books.
i have quit counting the number of
applicants" said Mr.. Spofford yesterday
to a Times reporter. Every day adds
another hatch to the pile which has run
from the hundreds into the thousands
"of, say 5000, Mr.. spofford, how many
come to you having any weight, what
ever" asked the reporter.
al should say not over 90 per cent he
responded. ''Of that number l have to
select only thirty or forty for the cata-
logue work, classification, and the service
OF books and information to Congress and
the public. This number viii be in addi-
tion to the present force. In the copy
right department there are to be employed
but six additional clerks, each one OF
whom must be specially fitted for the
service / shall employ only those known
to possess the necessary qualifications for
work in the library" said Mr.. Spofford
s.There is one thing you might say and
that is, that every appointment will be
probationary. 1t will take but a short
while to determine the value of the man
employed We must have clerks and at
tendants ready to go ahead with their
duties. We cannot unde ertake to teach
them how to perform their work.
1t is an erroneous idea that the IL
bTarian has the appointmen of all the
employees of the new Library All persons
to be engaged in the care and custody of
the building come under the control of
the superintendent of the building, and will
be appointed by him.
The preliminary work of removing the
books has already begun. Up to this time,
10000 volumes have been removed
These publications are not for reference,
however. but are known as copyright ma
terisl, to be stored
The real work Of conveying the books
from the Capitol to the new Library build
ing will not commence until Congress adj
journs. Otherwise there would be serious
interference with the use of the library
by members of Congress, as it must be
closed absolutely during the morning
period
1t is hard to determine just exactly how
long the library viii be closed to the
public, but an idea can be gathered from
the statistics OF the Boston Public Library,
