TO PROMOTE PUBLIC LIBRARIES.
N. J. Library Association Issues a
Circular Asking Aid.
The New Jersey Library Association has
issued the following Circular

The New Jersey Library Association has
issued the following circular
AT the Atlantic City meeting of the
New Jersey Library Association the ques-
ton of a Library Commission for the
State of New Jersey, similar to those ex-
eussed and a committee was appointed
to undertake the work usually performed
by State Commissions, which are appoint
ed by the Legislature and which receive
State aid.
The principal work of this committee
will be to publish and distribute through
out New Jersey, where libraries are not in
existence, the laws relating to the forma-
ton and support of libraries, the statistics
in relation to the number of libraries in
the State, the number of towns without
libraries, and such other matters as would
be of interest in stimulating the growth
and increase of the number of free public
libraries, and to encourage the establish
ment of the same under municipal con-
troll.
In order to do this work, financial aid
is required, for printing, postage and
clerical assistance, and the object of this
communication is to ask you IL you are
sufficiently Interested in this subject to
contribute something toward the expense.
If our contributions are sufficient the
cost being about $50 each), we would like
to establish a few travelling libraries. 1t
is doubtful whether the State Committee
on Appropriation will feel justified in
making an allowance. for the objects
specified in the act passed at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature relating to travel
ing libraries. as the appropriation bill
made no provision for carrying 1t into
effect. Therefore we recommend individual
contributions for that purpose.
We hope the time is not far distant
when this work will be assumed and car
ried on by the State, the same as in New
Hampshire, Connecticut. Massachusetts,
New York, wisconsin and other States.
In the meanwhile we are DESTROYS Of pro-
crossing as far as possible with the work.
We will appreciate any e-ncouragement
which YOU may give us. Kindly send
whatever amount you may feel disposed
to contribute to Miss G. G. Lambert.
Treasurer, Public Library. Passaic, N J:
If YOU wish your contribution to be used
for any specific purpose. please
SO state. otherwise 1t will be used at the
of the committee.

No Slow Coach Warfare.

The Spaniards sail on and the war
stands still. The time for one decisive
blow has passed, and one more episode
passes into history to prove hat there Is
no virtue in councils of war.
Within a month after the outbreak OF
the Franco-Prussian war, the army OF
Marshal MacMahon had surrendered al
Sedan, Bazaine with his army was smut
up in Metz, and the Uhlans were scouting
in the outskirts of Paris.
THAT is the way to wage war at all
times. 1t is especially the way to wage
modern war. Above all it is the way TO
wage war with a weak and unprepared
enemy. If the King of Prussia ana ms
great strategist. Count Won Moltke, hau
given the French time to overcome the
handicap of their lack of organization and
preparation, the battles of Wissembourg
and Worth would never have determined
the fortunes of the war, and the struggle
would never have been ended within a
year. Indeed, as France actually raised
larger armies and did at least as good
fighting as the Germans, the cry. "A Ber-
lin. might have been verified had not the
lightning promptitude of the Germans
forced on what was really the decisive
battle inside a week after the outbreak OF
hostiities.
That one sentence of Nelson's epitomizes
the art of war: ssTime is everything"

High School commencement SUR
prise.

The announcement that there is to be
only one address at the High School conn
mencement, this year. the valedictory, has
created great establishment and wide
spread dissatisfaction. The members of
the graduating class are indignant at
being deprived of their opportunity for a
little display, and the friends of the school
are about equally angry.
Nobody seems to know what the motive
for the abolition of the honors is. Com
mon rumor has it that the members of
the Board of Education want the time in
order to make speeches themselves. If
SO, it is a very mean and a very i~ll-judged
proceeding. The public would much
rather listen to the bright promise of the
young men and women of the class than
to the prosy dullness of the Commission
ers, and those who make use of the time
which should belong to the pupils to adj
vertise themselves will find themselves de-
cidedly unpopular by the time they sit
down.
This is a matter in which the pupils
have rights which they are entitled to
enforce. If they are to be frozen out of
all share in the commencement. they or
their parents should refuse to subscribe
one dollar for it. They can be handed
their diplomas very well at the closing
session of the school and the gentlemen,
who want to talk, can talk to them there.
II there is to be a public show. let the
young folk nave the enjoyment and adj
vantage of 1t to the fullest extent.
