Lecture On This BEoIeic by DIR. Fried

The thirty eighth regular meeting of the
Libray Association Of Washington City
was held last everine1ht Columbian Uni
versity. The prestGbtu DR.. H. c. Bolton,
occupied the chair. and Mr.. w. L. Boyden,
the secretary. kept thadminutes.
The chair annouAced That Mr.. Wilhelmus
B: Bryan had been unanimously elected to
i9ed im9eenbership by IN eMeutive committee;
by the una unanimous 1pte n the association
of Congress gave vi etertains t,1fapS taIT oS
The Literature of Porto Rico" The
speaker said he was SEPT to Porto Rico by
the the,,,lh1 late M Mr. Joh1 llfssell Young who
ment of the government was searching the
island for information relative; to it's own
particular field, the Library of Congress
ought also to be represented there When
DR.. Fredenwald started for Porto Rico he
had an idea, he said, that his search would
result in the discovery of old Spanish books
such as missais, psalters, etc. He did not
suppose Porto Rico had a literature of its
own. What books he found, which were
few in number, were of doubtful import
ance The most valuable was a BibIiothea
printed in San Juan in 1887 =. --.s...-
DR.. F'riedenwaid found the literary men
o. San Juan to- be highiy-,cultivated 1t
was their custom when any sof them wrote
a book to have it printed at hts own ex-
penSe and the copies distributed among his
friends. There are three public libraries in
San Juan. The lafgest-the Municipal-is
located in the municipal building, and con-
tains about 1000 volumes. The library is
open from l to 3 and to 8 pm There is
no catalogue. The other two libraries be-
long to literary societies and contain from
$500 to 5000 volumes each.
Porto Rico, Dr. Friedenwald said. is full
OF poets. Every man who writes for the
public occasionally breaks out into poetry
They seem to be unable to prevent such at
tacks. The women are also poetically in
clined; Most of the. men who are poets
are also politicians. OF the 100000 native
said, that 90,999 were politicians
The first printing press was set up in
Porto Rico in 1907 The best paper pub
ished there is the Porto Rican Review
There is also an annual pamphlet called
the ASuinaldo Almanac, which was inter-
preted to mean New Years Gift
Mr. William L. Boyden read a paper on
"A notwithstanding Device" and
Mr.. w. P. Cutler spoke on 1.-The Literature
of Tobacco
