TO HELP IMMIGRANTS
PLAN SUGGESTED AT LIBRARIAN
ASSOCIATION MEETING.

( NARRAGANSETT PIER, r. l., July e.
A recommendation that every public IL
brarE In this country should be equipped
with books intended to help immigrants to
become citizens was made to the American
Library Association today by James III.
Garfield Of the Columbia University Law
Library. He said:
Immigration TO this country has become
so enormous. and is affecting so directly
all the conditions of urban ife that we
must assimilate these people by the most
rapid methods. It is a mistake to consider
their presence a menace. There ought to
be in every public library in every city of
any size at least the classics in several
languages. to win the confidence of these
people and to draw them to these Libraries.
Once there. they should find elementary
text books in civics and other literature
that will be helpful to them In their new
relations, translated from English into their
own language. In other words, securing
them as patrons of the public library by
their own classics. we should minister to
their needs precisely as we minister to the
needs OF our own people. No such texts
exist. even in English. 1t is this very point
upon which discussion ought to turn-what
this association may be able to accomplish
in the way of preparing or securing the
preparation OF such texts
Harrison w. Craver of the Carnegie Ii
braries should equip themselves for service
to workingmen by adding books on tech
noiogy of a rudimentary and practical type,
and intelligently selected by some one
trained in industrial work.
Emma r. Neisser of the Free Library at
Philadelphia. told of the desirability OF
home teaching for the blind in connec-
ton with departments for the blind In free

And 10 the presence in the room he said:

And with a look made all OF sweet accord.

entertainment closed by the audience rising

o'clock all the guests were conveyed to
Sligo station and the special cars brought
them back to the city.
Perhaps no feature of the days enter
tainment was more generally discussed by
the returning guests their way home in
the cars than was the tribute paid to Mr..
Crosby s. Noyes by Gen. John NJ. Wilson,
L. S. A, retired. when he presented the
associations loving cup to the host. So
many of the Oldest inhabitants expressed
the wish to secure verbatim copies of the
address, and so many requests were made
that it be printed entire, that Gen. Wilson
was asked for the copy, and the speech is
given In full below.
Gen. Wilson's Address.
The general said:
"Mr. Noyes, Ladies and Gentlemen:
THE poverty Of language Is never more
impressively felt than when one finds
himself selected to present token of af-
lection to one like your own dear self
who combines all the attributes of true
Christian manhood with all the character
istics of the able, honorable, noble, high
minded and accomplished gentleman
when the Association OF the Oldest In
habitants so highly honored me with the
invitation to assume this delicate but
pleasant duty. 1 told my friends not to
expect the eloquence of our beloved COM
panion, Mr. Ross Perry, not to look for
well-rounded phrases, but that I would
come to you, not as an orator but as
soldier devoted to his profession, his
country; to this, his native city, and to
the flag he had followed for over half
century: and that, in my own feeble way,
I would try to tell you how completely
you had won the respect, admiration, es-
TEEN and love of us all.
