Mrs. Thompson is Hearty in Favor Of
A. |. A. Meeting in the New
State

An effort is being made by the
Librarians of the new state to have
the next American Library A.so-
citation held IN one of principal
cities. Mrs. ]. A. Thompson, our
local librarian is enthusiastically
in favor OF It. In speaking of the
mater. Mrs. Thompson said:
T c American L brary Associa-
lion should be invited to meet in
The new state Of Oklahoma in 1908
Ottawa, Canada and ot. rau., !,
Ainn.. will be our most prominent
rivals for the honor. 1t is not to
early to begin agitaing lie ques.
tion for already one invitation has
been given for 1909 All the Ed
ucators, club women, Commercial
clubs, Librarians and lihrarv trust
ees should unite in vigoraS cf
fort to secure the conference. II
IS body composed OF 1900 library
workers, the usual attendance is
usually between 800 and 1000. Ok
lahoma can draw larger attend
ance than any other state in the
Union. Within a radius of 500
miles of Central Oklahoma there
are 500 library workers who have
never had the inspiration of attend
ing a Conference, who could and
who would meet in Oklahoma.
The giants in the east and the
west will travel across the contin-
ent to meeting as readily as any
shorter distance. Oklahoma is in
the miad of the world now and
every DodY wants 10 see US. AS to
sightseeing our prairies can divide
honors with the ocean in inter
est.
"At the last meeting, Narragan
sett Pier was favored with the pre-
sence Of Gov. Utter, Pres, France,
of Brown University. the writer
Owen Wister, not to mention Put
man, Dewey. Dana, Abern, Plum
NEE and the other immortals who
have made library science what il
is. There might be post confer
ence trips by small groups of Wis
tors to all towns from which invit-
ations are received.
Miss Phelps. Of Oklahoma City,
Mr.. Ferguson, of Norman and Mrs
Thompson of Chickasha would be
glad to hear the opinion of readers
