LIBRARY BENEFITS
Purpose of the Entertainments at the
 Doris Opera House.

As has been previously mentioned in this paper, the pupils of the Phoenix schools are to give two entertainments one on Friday night and the other on Saturday afternoon at the Doris opera house, the proceeds of which will go to the treasury of the grammar school library. A word of comment or explanation concerning the library is therefore pertinent. The entertain ments it is believed will be worth the money but even if they were not the purchaser of tickets should never re- gret it for every dollar of it will go to a most Iaudable purpose.
 The grammar school library now contains about 22OO volumes of the most carefully selected literature for young people and of a varied nature. There is also a supplmentaI library of about 2000 volumes maintained main ly for the benefit of the lower grades These supplemental books are partly in the nature of text books. That is they are used by the lower grades in conjunction with their school readers and are furnished to all pupils alike. There are also a number of nature study and similar books for the use of the teachers in these grades. In ad- dition to this there is always a small supply of text books kept for the use of poor children who can not buy them.
 This library, that is the general li- brary, has been in process of accumu- lation for the last seven years and Professor Cole has been it's patron saint. That is it is one of the favorite enterprises he saw the need of and did the best he could to further its in- terests. Every year except last year, the library fund has been augmented by from $10O to $500 through the ef- forts of the pupils themselves in the giving of an entertainment and as there was no money raised last year the li- brary is more than ever in need at this time.\ That its privileges are made use of is well shown by the fact that the librarian spends two days of each week, Tuesdays and Fridays, from morning until night, giving out and taking in books. And the books on the

shelf are able to speak for themselves as many of them are in bad condition and almost beyond the point of use- fitness. And their condition comes from use, not from abuse. One odd and at the same time fortunate thing is that most of the books in the worst condition are those bearing early mum bers in the library catalogue. It ap- pears that most readers begin at the head of the catalogue and read the books they desire to in numerical order As all have read the books at the head of the list they have fared the worst. The fortunate thing is that a few of

full to the committee aud TO his per-
sonal and loyal friend, Mr.. Arthur A.
Schomburg, to whose intelligent ef
forts the success OF the dinner was
largely due. Mr.. Bruce touched up
on the question Of amalgamation
which is being discussed by some of
our race men and journals and point
ed out the impossibility of absorption
Of II or l5 million Negroes, and said
that the Negro has been in America
almost since the day of its discovery,
and yet had not been quite absorbed
by the white or any other race, that
no new race type had resulted from
constant iteration and reiteraiion Of
the advocates of this theory. :
Mr.. Bruce ended by saying, The Ne

flesh and that we are indlssolubly
linked for veal or for woe, whenever

were greeted with rapturous applause.
