ELIHU BURRITTs LIBRARY.
New-Britain. Conn. March IS (speclaD.-The place
OF IongfeOw and Whittier In American literature
IS by no means secure In this town for they have
both been in imminent danger OF being ebowed
out OF the school library by Mark Twain At
recent meeting OF the School Board the Burritt
School Library was the subject OF discussion and
special action A communication read from
Principal Whippe. asking for the purchase Of
books for supplemental reading in the schools.
The list presented by him included chiefly history.
and brought from Judge Roche the comment that
'Huckeberry Finn" had been ordered out OF tho
schools OF Massachusetts. c. l.. Andrews. another
trustee objected Longfellow and Whittier
'seventeenth-rate poets. who in one hundred years
or so would be as dead julius Cesar" Trustee
W. H. Walker thought the principals list an ex-
cellent one. He had read nearly all OF them, but
had not read any by Mark Twain.
This second reference TO Mark Twain brought .
defence from Mr. Andrews who thought that more
Of Clemens's books should be included IN the list.
Many Of the books the list" said he. ARE Of
no use except for kindlng fires"
After 500 had been appropriated for the purchase
OF books a contest onsued the question as 20
whether the would-be burner OF the poets should
be placed on the committee buy the books He
was finally voted of the committee on the ground
OF his objection to Longfellow and Whittier who
II was decided recognized the best poets
OF the country. The directors thought the poets
all right but the trash" OF the list-meanng Mark
Twain. Il is supposed should be taken out
Thus Mr. Andrews lost his case, though by close
vote 70 T.
The Board also considered the subject OF the
collection OF Elhu Burritt, which had been left 70
the town a public reference library. The special
committee mad found that there were IN all two
hundred and ifty volumes. in nfty-three different
languages. many OF them beautiful specimens OF
book making and binding. some Of them very
cient and OF considerable value. The collection
had been locked mp for thirty years, the key being
lost the greater part OF the time. The committee
urged that the books should Immediately be re-
moved as they are infested with bookworms and
the bindings being ruined by dust. IL was
thought that these two hundred and nfty volumes
were only part OF the Burritt library and IL was
voted that an should be- collected and deposited In
the new library building OF the New-Brtan inst-
tute soon 10 be completed. Mr. Andrews presented
no resolution favorng the burning OF the Burritt
