grounds and public parks. All, however,
recognized the right of the public to de-
mand what they wanted to read from the
hands of their servant, the librarian. The
&c. D. duplicate system wasi dorsed
heartily, althO our Boston friend decried
it as a rival of the Booklovers' and Ia
bard Inn. This brought the st. Louis
librarian to his feet with his testimony
of a satisfactory use of the system for
thirty years, in which the public had been
furnished with books at small cost to
them and none to the library, which in
this way helped it's patrons to pursue
their studies in any line of work. He
cited instances of the purchase of a dozen
copies of expensive books, costing IS or
study at a tax Of cents a week; of mu-
steal and literary works of immense value
to students, who otherwise could not OBJ
tain them. They also welcomed the
Booklovers and Tabard Inn as a legiti-
mate method of supplying the reading
world with felton, trusting the day would
soon come when this department might
library might give its full strength tc
purely literary and educational work.
Honors for Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, as is often the case, re-
ceived more than her share of the honors
in the election Of officers. She has fur
nished in the past two presidents-Her-
bert Putnam and DR.. Hosmer. On Fri.
day J. r. Wyer, Jr., the efficient secre.
tary and a, former resident Of Minnesota
and student of the University of Mime.
sota,. was reelected. Miss Gratia Coun.
tryman was elected to; the council, DR.
Hosnaer was retained on the executive
hoard as ex-pres1dent and Mr.. Putnam
was elected president, thus giving thu
Minneapolis library three Representatives
| in the association.
/ Mr.. Putnam has lately received an LII
d. from two colleges and is the leading
librarian in the country.
It was decided to hold the next meet
/ ing In st. Louis in October, 1904 and a.
/ it will be an International affair, Mr.. Put
nam was the unanimous choice for Thu
important position. The retiring presi
dent. in handing over the gavel to hi
successor, said:

Twelve years ago Mr.. Putnam turned
over the Minneapolis public library to me.
AS one good turn deserves another, I now
turn over to him the American Library
association
AS some of the most valuable Members
Of the association are librarians from
Canadian cities, a fitting close to their
silver jubilee, was a monologue reading
by a Canadian poet, DR.. W. H Drum
mond who gave choice selections of dia-
lect poems from his own pen, rendered
with great feeling and dramatic power
entering wonderfully into the spirit Of the
| .Habitant' life of Lower Canada. Dr.
Drummond does for Canada what James
Russell Lowell, James Whitcomb Riley
and Joel Chandler Harris have done fol
the United States.
| Listening to the voice of this swee1
singer Of Canada, accompanied by the
ceaseless murmur Of the river that divide:
but does not separate his country from
the United States, one could but hops
that another link had been forged in thu
chain of good fellowship that binds Can
ada to the United States.
