LIBRARY MATTER
People Think None But a Viz
gilman Should be the
State Librarian

The general Impression, so far as 1t
can be gathered from expressions heard
on the subject, seems to be that the Stale
Library Board OF Directors should, II
practicable and compatible with the
proper Encouragement and classification
Of the library, choose Virglnlan for the
position Of librarian. Several who have
been heard to express an opinion on the
subject assert that the library needs to
be properly classified and catalosued and
put in first-class system. but they be-
leve that a yirginian can be had who is e
capable of doing this satisfactorily. If
such man can be had among the appll-
cants for the position It Is preferable
that one of them be selected If 1t be
necessary. however. to go outside the
State to get man to put the library In
proper condition. such man should be
employed only for such time as may be
required to do this
One gentleman expressed the opinion
without qualification that mon emnently
competent could be had In this State.
and tina under no circumstances should
the board go outside the State to secure
man. ''If you get nm outsider In once
you will never be able to get him out"
said he. II am opposed to going outside
the State to get mon to teach us how to
run our library or anything else. If
competent man cannot be had among
Vlrglnians think the State had better
close the library."ti
This Is fair specimen OF some of the
expressions on the subject. Another gen
tleman, who Is quite familiar with the
library and with tho value OF the books
and historical documents therein. ex-

still another gentleman interviewed
stated without qualification that whether
the board employed 'an outsider tempo-
rerily or not, It must select librarian at
the meeting October 3D., There were
three men, he said now applying. any one
of whom was entirely conpetent to put
tho library In fIrst-clnss condition.
A great many persons asked for nm ex-
preston on the subject We're not suftl-
GENTLY familiar with the situation to
warrant them In expressing an opinion.
IT is said that It ought not to take
more than two months to classify and

when 1t meets next Saturday week, will
probably elect a librarian and employ
