AT THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Changes in Returning Books-Appli
cations for Apprentice Class

change just made at the Washington
Public Library is the returning, as well as
the issuing of all children's books in the
chldrens room. This, 1t is explained, will
materially lessen the congestion caused at
the returning desk during certain hours of
the day, particularly during the hours di-
recty after the closing of the schools
Additional assistants have been assigned to
the childrens room to meet the new de-
mands made upon it.
Owing to the frequent changes and the
need of a larger library staff to cope with
the yearly increase of circulation 1t became
necessary to employ those trained in the
service of the library to meet it's require
ments. AS the object throughout is to guar
antee efficient service. and to attract to the
work those who show themselves most
capable by personality and education to do
the quality of work required, apprentice
class was started in 1904, with a systematic
course of instruction. The results have
been so satisfactory to both library and
applicants during the two years of It's eX-
istence that third class will be taken on
November /.
During the first years experience with
such class there were not enough mem
bers to fill all the vacancies. The second
year opened with much larger class, six
teen being admitted By promotions dur
ing the year vacancies occurred which were
filled from the apprentice class, so that
only four graduates remain on the eligible
list at the present time.
For entrance to this class a competitive
examination is held. The applicants are re-
! quired to have completed high school
| course or it's equivalent. Several persons
| with college training have been enrolled in
| former classes.
The course covers six months, during
| which period instruction is given in each
! branch OF the library work under the gen
eral supervision of the chiefs of the various
| departments instruction Is also by lee
| lures on library technique. on literature.
| through papers prepared by members of the
| class on current events, and by pursuing
| courses of assigned reading

Continued from last week.)


The German censuSeS are particularly
reliable because they have been collected
for many years with great care, with
view to eliciting the degree OF assimlla-
ton of the Jewish population. During
the four years 1901 to 1904 there were
contracted in Germany 15,635 marriages
between Jews and Jewesses, and 2,7OO
between Jews and Christians The mixed
marriages constituted consequently 17.27
per cent. Of the pure Jewish marriages,
or one-sixth Of all the Jews who married
married Christians 1t was also found
that SOL per cent. of all the Jewesses
and 9.26 per cent Of all Jews in that
country married Christians. In other
words, every twelfth Jewish bride and
every eleventh Jewish bridegroom mar
ried Christian.
The largest number Of mixed mar
riages in Germany are contracted in the
province of Prussia. There statistics for
twenty-eight consecutive years are avail
able (1876-19O4), during which 71,16O
pure Jewish marriages were contracted;
4.74O between Christians and Jewesses
and 5,O62 between Jews and Christian
women 1t is also established that the
number of mixed marriages is constantly
on the increase, as can be seen from the
following figures:

In an article in last weeks paper
headed, Sugar Beet Information al
omission occurred. We reproduce the
entire paragraph corrected:
"Now will ask aquestion to close with.
"All things considered, which is the
best width of rows TO plant beets is, 20,
% or 2S inches apart?
"Now, will close for the present hop
ing to be criticised by some so good bye. !"
"In answer 20 the above question will
say that on just ordinary land, we think
that.beets drilled in rows 2S inches
apart will give the best satisfaction.
Especially is this true with new begin
ners, as they are not used to cultivating
rows any closer together than rs inches
We.do not think it advisable TO drill less
than 20 inch rows on even the best of
our land. 4 If beets are sown early so
they have plenty of time in which to
ripen, we fail to find any difference be-
tween the testing of beets grown in 2S
incl lrows from those in 20 inch rows.
Ii beets are sown very late so they grow
very rapidly and do not have plenty OF
time 30 I'll en-, then the beets that are
small from being too crowded always
seem to test better than the large ones
that have grown more rapidly on ac-
count of having plenty of room with
available plant food to grow.
