An address of great value was delivered
Friday afternoon by Melvill r. Dewey,
state librarian of New York, whose sub
iect was "The Modern Library in Public
Education and Its Right to Public Sup
port"
The emphasis of Mr. Dewey's address
was laid upon the public library as a means
for continuing and perfecting the education
of adults. In developing his theme Mr..
Dewey classes the means of education for
the adult masses under five heads: First,
the library; second, the museum, meaning
by this collections of objects of art, sculp-
ture, natural specimens, ets., which teach
through the eye without recourse to the
printed page. Third, the study class /;
fourth, the university or teaching extern
sion. Under the fifth head he said he be-
lieved there should be some test and certi-
cate provided certain amount of study.
Objections are raised by many to giving
any diploma of this kind, but it satisfies a
natural feeling TO have mile posts placed
along the way and to the fact acknowledge
ed given number of these posts.
In the use of public library by the peo-
pie as a whole Mr.. Dewey saw the greatest
sphere of usefulness in the travelling libra
ry, meaning that system so successfully
used in some of the western states under
which sections or cases of books are sent
out from library centres to rural commune
ties and remote neighborhoods, thus carry
ing public library to the people instead OF
requiring the people to come into the Ii
brary.

larger purposes, with broad and generous
life, means to every member OF 1t. The
mission of a great school Is to accomplish
a like result in every member.
We want to make the school as such, every
school, a spirit, asentiment, an atmosphere
that every member of 1t may feel. We want
to enlist the enthusiasm of every school boy
in this purpose. We want to make 1t an OBJ
ject of ambition and pride 10 be distin-
guished school boy, as much as to be a
distinguished man in any business or profess
sion. We can do this as we try to give a
more ample meaning to the period of edu-
cation, as we learn to look upon ourselves
as a distinct unit of time, and not as a
fragment; as we acknowledge the fact
that it has its own distinct work in organ
izing mind and character, as great as any
which may follow, and we give TO this
world of early struggle and work and sport
and fellowship its appropriate and well
earned right.
And this result, If It comes at all, must
be brought about from within. This is
why 1 am speaking to you who are teach
ers or friends of education. We can make
Just as big a place for the educational
spirit to inhabit as we are capable of max

illustrate. | have gone about town where
the schools were of no value without eff
cheney in training, without enthusiasm in
study or play even. Again have seen the
same town with a well organized system,
suitable buildings, and teaching that gave
impulse and growth. The justification for
the old state of affairs was that the town
was stingy, and the people indifferent.
The reason for the new state of affairs was
that a live teacher and organizer had come
into the community and begun his work.
The community could not Withstand him.
Interest was awakened and money follow
ed as a matter or course.
have seen like results in the effect up
on the young life of community. Schools
which were left as soon as the growing boy
could break away from them, changed in
to schools which held him to the end and
then sent him to college. And the change
had the same reason. There is nothing
