WILMINGTON
LIBRARY.
Wilmingt ton Institute Free Library,
NNiI,,, naf 10n1

Wilmington Institute Free Library,
Wilmington, Oct. 3, 1901.
Sir:-I wish to make 40 appeal to
the citizens OF Wilmingt ton who are
interested in the educational work
which is being attempted through
the agency OF the Wilmington lnsti-
tute Free Library. No one feature
of our childrens S room is fonnd to be
more Interesting than the pic
ture bulletins which have from time
to time been prepared.
The good people OF Wilmington
are constantly sending us unbound
magazines and those which are illus.
trated are largely drawn upon to
supply the pictures for these bulIe-
tins. But we need many more of
the illustrated magazines. such as
"Colier's 4" "Leslies 4" "Harper's
Weekly and monthly" Scribner's'
"Century' and "McClure s." Dur
ing the present school year we Shall
attempt not simply to prepare pic
ture bulletins for the central library
and the Rockford branch but it is al.
So our purpose to prepare picture
bulletins TO send out to all the pub
lie schools of the city for use with
the little libraries which are to be
placed in every school room.
In other cities, notably Buffalo,
extensive use is made in the public
schools of pictures which have been
mounted on Manila paper and sent
out To them from the public library.
1t will be seen that geography les
sons may be made more interesting
If the portions Of the country under
consideration can be made real to the
children by means of pictures of wa
ter falls. public buildings. cathedral
and monuments. Pictures of ami
mails, child life and reproductions Of
the commoner and more easily un-
derstood masterpieces of art will fer
nsh entertainment and valuable in.
struction to the children.
If the citizens of Wilmington will
cooperate with us by sending US
such Illustrated periodicals as are no
longer wanted in their homes. at a
very slight expense for material and
time valuable aids to instruction may
be furnished to the children of this
city.
Not illustrated periodicals alone
are wanted but standard magazines
Of almost any sort will be useful to
us. This is particularly true just at
this time, following the extensive
mutlation oTnearly every bound set
of periodicals in the library. From
such contributions we couIdundoubt.
edly suppy many Of the mutlated
parts, thus saving the library large
expenditure which otherwise could
scarcely be met at present, particu.
larry with the increasing demands
that are made upon us for the pur.
chase OF books for schools, study clubs
and individual readers.
In any case where it is not conven.
lent to send the periodicals to this
library, a note addressed to me re.
qucsting someone TO call for the bun.
die will meet with prompt attention.
GEORGE +. BowERMAN.
Librarian.

THE three additional assessors
appointed by City Council to make
a new city assessment have thus
lar added about $1,000, 900 on the
assessed value of Wilmington real
estate. THIS means there will be
some big howlings when property
owners receive their tax bills next
year This may be more popular
manner oil raising additional reve.
nue. by cur city fathers and thus
keep the tax rate down. Where
property ia assessed at over two
thirds of its value. it Is assessed
entirely too high. In Philadelphia
the pan is TO assess about two.
thirds Of property's value. or
what 1t would bring at public sale.
The tax rate in Philadelphia is
One.fourth less than in Wilmington.
Then look what we Wilmingtonians
get for cur money, and some people
say Philadelphia Is governed by a
lot Of swlndlers.
