five books. This case is placed in the
home of some child who wishes to be
"librarian," and who lives in the
densely populated or poor districts of
the city. Some society girl who wishes
to devote part Of her time to some
serious work is then selected to take
charge Of this little library branch.
She comes - the house where the
books are kept once week and un-
locks the case and allows the little
hostess to distribute the books among
her friends. Then she reads to them
or plays games with them. The child
who acts as hostess invites only her
own friends to join her library circle,
for the laws of caste are nowhere so
inexorable as in Poverty Flat and any
social friction would be fatal to the
end in view. When the host is col
Ored child the six or eight guests are
apt to be colored. and when the host
is a Jew the whole group is made up
OF Jews. Eventually the children
thus interested are apt to come to the
central or branch libraries.
So far the plan is certainly a good
one, but all kindergarten theorists
are apt to run to extremes. For some
reason or other when people begin to
theorize about the training of the
youthful, whatever sense Of humOr
they may have had departs and they
recognize no restraint.
A new ruffle has been added to the
children's librarians duties in the
shape Of what is called the "story
hour" Children whose mothers have
little time to give them are assembled
once week and the librarian devotes
an hour to story telling. To this plan
there could be no objection; but tn
enthusiastic librarians have conceive
gigantic plan Of reducing all liter.
ature to the kindergarten dimension.
They tell the story Of the Trojan war,
omitting the story Of Helen's elOpe-
ment; the story Of Faust expurgated
for the youthful mind, the story of
NapOleOn's energy, maintaining
careful silence as to his ambition.
In short; these enthusiastic libra
rians simply abolish the elements OF
evil from literature for the benefit Of
the "pure young mind" This would
be well enough II they could also ban.

children must live, but it is doubtful

helped to clean their fathers razor

A Tutor Who Maintained His Dignity.
Dr.. Chalmers always had a high
sense Of personal dignity. When 4
young man, he was engaged as tutor in
private family. His young lady pu-
pills resented his strictness, and the
mother foolishly took sides with her
daughters. In petty spite when COM
pany was invited to the house young
Chalmers was shut out from the table,
and dinner was sent to his room.
He made no protest against the
treatment, but when it was attempted
again he told the servant he had order
ed dinner at neighboring town and
should need nothing. When this had
been done a few times, an explosion
came. The master Of the house called
Chalmers to account for insulting his
family. Chalmers replied that he had
been insulted by banishment from the
table. The young teacher conquered
and ever after held his place as one Of
the family at all social gatherings.
