II is a question il more than one per
son in five hundred who uses the Olney-
willie Free Library is familiar with the
method there adopted for arranging the
books on the shelves. The library uses
n classification known as the Dewey
decimal system, which has been very
generally adopted throughout the coun-
try. 1t is one of the simplest and most
practical arrangements possibly for a
public or private library. The deci-
nal system divides the field OF know
ledge into nine main classes, which are
numbered from 100 10 600 Cyclic
pHdias, periodicals, etc so general in
character as to belong 10 no one OF these
classes, rm tenth class. 900 The
classes are arranged as follows; 600
General Works, 100 Philosophy; 200
Religi II, 800 Sociology; 100 Philology;
500 Natural Science; 800 Useful Arts;
TOO Fine Ats, 500 Literature; and 900
History. Each OF these classes is sub
divided into ten divisions. Where a
closer classification is needed, each OF
the 100 divisions is again divided into
ten sections, and the process is repeated
as often as necessary. Each book is
numbered according to the group in
which it falls, and all the books are ar
ranged on the shelves in simple numer-
ical order Since each group or subject
has a definite number, the books on any
subject must stand together Thus $40
meaps Class S 'Naiural Science Divi-
sion 10 Mathematical and every book
on Mathematics Is numbered $40. One
great advantage Of this plan is that each
class may be sub-divided TO any degree
desired without reference 90 the others.
A library that has made a specially Of
Botany, for instance, may classify its
books on that subject with the greatest
minuteness and yet carry the rest of
its classification no further than the
first subdivision.
