Fletcher.

Librarians Listen to Talks by Super.
| intendent Crane and Mrs. T. J
| Fletcher.
Three addresses were made at the
afternoon session. The first was thai
of Mr.. A. r. Cooper, of Cedar Rap
| ids. on What is the Free Public LII
brary Doing to Justify Its Support by
Public Taxi
The speaker stated that he thought
the question had been most fully and
satisfactorily answered by the various
speakers who had preceded him-not
not Intentionally, but necessarily done
and no one was to blame. Turning to
his subject lie stated that if the public
library is honestly striving to put good
books into the hands of the citizens
of all ages and to furnish them good
facilities for study and research. its
support by tax is amply justified.
He showed how it is supplementing
the work of and co-ordinating with
the fine public schools, and expressed
the hope that In the very near future
the library would be in charge of a
room in each school building wherever
there is a library.
The library boards he said. are em-
ploying educated, refined and trained
librarians and assistants, are furnish
ing well-located, well-furnished and
we'll heated, lighted and ventilated
rooms for the use of the library and
its patrons and are using every en-
deavor to bring the attention of the
masses to the facilities and advantages
of the people.
The trustees and librarians are max
ing the free public libraries q peoples
university, where all branches are
taught including the useful arts and
all grades from the kindergarten to the
post graduate course and where the
citizen remains in school thru his ma
tural life from the cradle to the grave.
DEPRESSING from the subject he raised
the question whether the free pub
lie library should not secure legisla-
ton requiring-like the public schools
the organization of libraries every
where there is municipal or township
government and electing the boards
direct by vote of the people and allow
ing each board to determine the
amount of tax necessary to it's sup
port.
Mr.. cooper was IolloWeu NY MIS-
T. j. Fletcher, OF this city. president
of the Iowa Federation of Womens
Clubs. Mrs Fletcher spoke on The
Relation of the Free Public Library to
Study Clubs.
She said that the first object of the
Iowa Federation of Women's Clubs is
for mutual helpfulness towards the in-
tellectual advancement OF the women
of our state and feeling the need Of
reference books, the first standing
committee created was 'the library
committee. This committee was help
full in securing a system of travelling
Libraries for the state, also in securing
a state library commission. 1t Was
found necessary. in order TO secure the
highest usefulness of the travelling II
braries to put them in charge OF the

for. During the last year about 100 IL

with regard to the historical func-

ISOLATION. Miss Wheeiock told of the
Iowa Summer School of Library Train
ing. She said in substance. that the
Iowa Summer School for Library
Training has become an important fac
tor in library work in the state during
the last three years. The school was
one of the early projects of the COM
mission, and was first held III 1901, In
connection with the summer session VI
the state university The establishment
OF this school came about thru the ne
cessity of training many librarians for
the work in the libraries of the smaller
towns, many of which are not properly
organized, and the rapidly increasing
number of towns which desired 10 es-
tablish libraries. but had no
one with sufficient knowledga
of the methods available to
place in charge as librarians
Miss Alice S. Tyler was made director
of the school and Miss Esther CraW-
ford of Dayton, o., was secured as in
structor in cataloging Miss Minnie c.
Bridgeman was assistant instructor and
reviser. During the last two years the
school has had as lecturers and instruc-
tors men and women noted in their par
ticlllar branches of the work.
The Iowa school Is one of the eight
established In the United States, while
there are four regular schools where a
three years course is given. The aim
is to give brief course in library
