public Libraries; its examples of great

public libraries; its examples of great
library catalogues and the ingenious
American periodical indexes, the
latest OF which the CumnLah9e Mder,
keeps this great mass OF literature
continuously indexed down to the
month preceding that OF publication.
In a word the library is SIMPLY invalu.
able to the student of American IL
brary history, methods and progress.
The limited space allows little room
tor library appliances. There are
several volumes OF blanks showing
forms used by the Chicago, Boston
and St. Louis public Libraries, the New
York state library, ETC.; examples of
various methods of classification, cat
alogulng, charging of books, ETC.; an
interesting collection OF printed cards
illustrating one of the most useful
methods of library cooperation and an
attractive collection of picture bullet
ms, new device tor attracting atten.
tior and entcing people to read.
One of the latest features of Ameri-
can library work and the one which
is perhaps making the greatest pro-
gress today, that of the travelling Ii
brary, inaugurated by Mevil Dewey,
at the New York State library in 500,
is shown by the travel-stained case
and well-worn books of the "Stout
travelling library, No. go" sent by the
Wisconsin Library Commission, and
which has been in actual use in the
hamlets and remote farming districts
OF the state. Another branch of this
same work of sending books to the
people is shown by the Carnegie
Home Library, which has done for
the poor districts of Pittsburg wha,
the Stout library has done for the
small villages of Wisconsin. The
question of how to get the people to
read good looks, or IN other words,
get books to the people, is one of the
most vital and interesting problems
with which American libraranship is
now dealing. The American library
association exhibit not only concerns
itself with tile history of the past, bu,
it is careful, well thought out and
well arranged study of the modern Ii
brary movement in America, a move
ment which keeps America ahead to
day in library methods and admins
tration, as it has stood at the head
from the first, since Benjamin Frank
lin founded it in Philadelpnia,in I745
the first public library.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1900-08-09

missionaries in China have been pur-
suing an extremely risky and regretta-
BILE policy. The originator and leader
of the Tai-Ping insurrection was a
pupil of the English missionary, Rob-
erts, and, though there is no proof of
any direct connection between the doc
trines taught by the missionary and the
insurrection of Hung, there is never
theless no doubt that large number
of English missionaries, including Rob-
erts himself, sympathized with the Tai
Pings almost to the end of the uprising,
and even expressed their sympathy
publicly.
During the unfortunate and i'm
practicable reform movement of 1898
English missionaries also played a
leading part, just as they did recently,
their zeal being manifested in an en-
deavor to show that every movement
in China, even though it may have no
political significance, is directed
against the empress. For this rea-
son, it is not to be wondered at that
hatred and mistrust of England
should manifest themselves by many
tokens, both great and small, and
there will be less surprise If we bear
In mind the fact that most China
men are naturally disposed to hate
and mistrust England, and that as far
back as 1s42 n league was formed in

SOCIETY OF BOXERS.
Originally 1t Was a Lawful and
Patriotic Organization.
Former German Minister TO Pcising
Writes About the Genesis of the
Revolutionary Movement
In the North of China.

Herr Moritz Won Brandt, former
German ambassador at the court of
Peking, has Just written a clear ac-
count of the Chinese Boxers.
"The word Boxers" he says, "is either
an erroneous translation of the Chi
nese name of that society or is a pun
upon that name. The Chinese name Is
Tachuan, which means the Society of
Confederate Patriots. Chuan. however.
also means fist. 1t is absurd for the
Novoe Nremya to assume that the men
are called Boxers because they con-
stantly practice athletic exercises sim
liar to those of the German turn
vereins, but ii Is quite possible that
Englishmen have given them the name
Boxers because they spend much of
their time at athletic exercises. The
motto of the society is: Support the
government; drive out the foreigners,
and therefore II cannot be charged with
being hostile to the government. One
can readily understand, however, how
the attitude of foreigners in and toward
China, combined with frequently
published report which seemed to i'm
ply that the integrity of the empire
was in danger, may have given birth to
wave of patriotism the result of which
may be seen in the assaults on the two
things which the Chinese regard as the
most important factors of foreign in
fuence--namely, church missions and
railroads.
