Maryland Backward In Library
Movement

The fifth annual repoS. OF the Mary
land State Library Commission con-
tains the information, CLEANED BY one
OF the field secretaries OF the Com
mission. that the mass OF the people
IN Maryland are not reading people,
and that Maryland. in comparison with
many Of her sister States is far back
ward in the so-calcd literary move
mcnt."
In Baltimore, from statistics fur
sishcd by the Enoch Pratt Library,
conditions are different.
As to the rest OF the State, II Is safe
to say that what has been the expert
encc Of Baltimore since the foundation
Of the Enoch Pratt Library will be the
experience OF the countics--tiat is 10
say. probably in the counties OF the
State there Is need for reading which
will not become a want until libraries
are established.
The experience OF the Washington
County PuDac Library, in Hagers-
town; the Hurlock Library, in Dor
chester county. and OF the Queens
town Library, sufficiently proves that
the people OF the State are eager to
read books after they have been once
given library facilities.
In its report the Commission enters
an earnest plea for the passing OF the
proposed revised library law By the
coming Legislature The proposed
law provides for an appropriation large
enough TO employ field secretary for
the whole year. and to make donations
OF books to each new library establish
cd. The revised law corresponds in
sense to the State aid roads law, in
which aid IS given by the State to work
nauguratcd by the counties.

pins. They are not much bigger when
hatehed than man's thumb nail and
are as soft as dough. They crawl
around pretty lively and begin to hunt
for their food, consisting of small fish,
crabs, etc. The first summer they are
quite small, and about the first to the
middle Of November they go into their
winter quarters. These consist Of
some soft mudhole In the marsh or
on the bottom Of some stream. Here
they sleep until about the middle Of
April or later, when they come out and
are Of quite respectable size, say four
inches in breadth. The next year they
are six inches and the third seven
inches in breadth. 1t is undoubtedly
