SMALLER
Number Of Books
Circulated. !
Miss N. P. Edgerton's
Annual Report.
Receipts and Expenditures Peril
ously Close to Balance.

The annual report Of the librarian
at the Akron Public library, Miss NJ.
p. Edgerton, shows among other things
that the number of books in circulation
last year was smaller than the number
for the year before. 1t also shows that
there is much expectancy regarding
the establishment of the new library.
The report was presented to the Ii
brary Board at the last meeting. 1t
follows:
To the Honorable, the Public Library
Board.
Gentlemen-I have the honor to sub
NIT to you my annual report, the report
for the year ending June 1, 1902. The
library has been open as usual, on all
days except public holidays, the read
ing room being closed during the Sun
days of July and August. The. register
of ticket holders numbers 6,6O0 names.
The circulation of books was distrib-
uted as follows:
Fiction, 30,415; juvenile, 10,S57; Ger
man, 1850; biography, 1,51S; religion.
426; travel, 1,254: history, 1,402; sci
enec, 2,O12; poetry, 1,os7; miscellan.
eous, 1854.
1,OS4 volumes of music have been in
| circulation. The total circulation OF
53,957 volumes, shows a decrease from
that Of last year. This may be due in
measure, to our meagre purchase OF
books. We had reached point where
a complete card index of the library
was necessity. To meet this added
expense, there seemed no place fol
retrenchment except through the pur
chase of books. In fiction, however
which seems the storm center of pub
lie libraries, the purchase has beer
fairly generous.
Just what proportion Of the bool
fund should be devoted to fiction is the
subject of endless discussion. Some
librarians contend that only those novels
that survive a three years popularit,
should be purchased, while others In
sist that public libraries supported b.
public money should meet the public
demand as far as possible.
The usefulness of the library, II
permanent value, must be considered
and its development made with eau
ton. Some libraries have solved tn
problem by buying duplicates of popu
: lar novels and loaning them for few
cents week. The Book Lovers, Par
melee, and other subscription libral

candor, patience and singleness Of purpose
he has displayed during the prolonged coal
strike. From the beginning he counseled
moderation in the making Of demands and
throughout he opposed anything like a re-

sought to obviate the calling Of a strike by
negotiation, and has consistently advocated
arbitration for its settlement. The miners
overruled his judgment in declaring the
strike, but throughout it's continuance they
have accorded to his leadership devoted and

The point Of the governments case is
that the merger operates essentially in

President Hill fails to meet this point.
although he tries hard to do it. 1t is
doubtless true that he can specify some
specific reductions in the printed rate

the merger was conceived. But he does
not show a single reduction on any other
basis than the old one of charging all
the traffic will bear, and the merger
necessarily takes away n check of
competition, so far as the merged sys-
TENS are concerned, which existed when
their fundamental interest as independ-

possible away from each other. 1t will
be better for all merger managers to
