Library Notes.

The wide benefit and need which a
great central library, lending its books
over the whole state of Vermont, would
fill, is evidenced, says the librarian of
the Billings Library Of the University of
Vermont, by the calls coming constantly
from all quarters. Had the Billings
money to buy the proper books, and
staff large enough TO do the work, an
immense circle OF borrowers would
spring up everywhere in the state, all
eager to get books to use.
II any ex Vermonter wishes to make
famous some little village. his birthplace,
let him establish there such a central
lending library from which ministers,
club members. artisans students in every
occupation and class may obtain serious
books to study.
In combination with this. should the
penny a pound postal for library books
become law. the information and culture
gained from good reading could enter
each remotest hamlet and raise the tone
of the community.
The work OF the widely lamented Miss
Sarah Hagar in the Fletcher. Carnegie
library at Burlington has been ably
taken up by her successor. George Dana
Smith. MIR Smith brings with him q
great enthusiasm for library work, and
a wide acquaintance with books and
experience in the best libraries Of Abassa
chusetts.

The files of the reports of the Smith
sonan Institution, the United States
Geological Survey, the Fish Commission,
and the Bureau of Ethnology are nearly
complete.
The drought of the late summer and
fall has seemed extreme, and the follow
ing items from the weather record kept
at the Museum, may be of interest to the
public. In June 47S inches of rain fell,
the greatest amounts coming on the
18th and 10th. July's total was 81
inches, all in small amounts. The rain
fall in August measured 521 inches, the
4th and 9TH showing nearly one-half OF
this total. September's record was .6S
of an inch, while in October 1.21 inches
has fallen thus far.
AS shown by the Museum reports for
IA years, the June record is up to the
average; July falls short, only two
years, 1894 and 1904, showing less
August is above the average, 1898 and
1902 being the only years in which more
rain has fallen; the September rainfall
was the lightest on the books of the
Museum, last years records of 8.11
inches, showing strangely beside it. The
total rainfall for the four months from
June to October was 1890 inches il
1907, 1878 inches in 1908.

wisdom OF the great Judge, and the
sentiment of the true poet, (tor Judge
Stafford is the author of verse of no
mean quality or reputation).
That Judge Stafford has just entered
upon a field where brilliant success and
great happiness await him is assured.
Drawn by the personality of the man
and his capacity for teaching, great
numbers of students are hocking to his
classroom. At the close of the first
lecture in equity which Judge Stafford
delivered, Dean William R. Vance of the
law school, who had heard the lecture,
said: THAT was the most eloquent
presentation of the early history OF the
court of chancerv that | have ever heard,
or wish to hear"
His call to the faculty of George Wash.
ington University will mean great
future for Judge Stafford. because there
he will De associated with men OF high
repute, like Justices Harlan and Brewer
of the Supreme Court of the United
States. Judge Stanton Peele OF the
court of appeals of the District OF
Columbia, James Brown Scott, J. I. D.,
solicitor of the State department, and
Earnest G. Lorenzer, J. U. D. The fact
that the university is rapidly growing
and prospecting, this year numbering
from 1900 to 1900 students, adds its
weight to the statement that connection
with this university is great and ever
increasing honor for Judge Stafford. On
the other hand, the repute and talents OF
Judge Stafford will prove a great asset
to this university.

New HOnOrS for Judge Stafford.
Appointed Professor of Equity at the
George Washington University at
Washington.
A special from Washington to the Bur
lngton Free Press contains the follow
ing interesting information about one of
our most distinguished townsmen:
Wendell Phillips Stafford LII. D..
Judge of the Supreme Court of the Dist
riot of Columbia, Vermonter, is every
wear adding to his laurels, and rapidly
ascending to the sphere of greater re-
sponsibiltes and honors for which he is
certainly destined,
The latest recognition of his many
talents is his call to the faculty in the
city of Washington. Some two years
ago the trustees of the university had
their eyes on him, but at that time he
was connected with Georgetown Univer-
sity, in the law department. In June,
1907, he severed his connection with
that institution for a year of rest. and
this fall he has accepted the call to
George Washington University where he
will fill the chair Of professor Of equity.
All of this work is carried by him in adj
diton to his work on the bench
AS a mark OF the esteem in which Judge
Stafford is held by the faculty and
trustees of George Washington Univer-
sity and as a token of their appreciation
in having him among their number, he
was asked to give the principal address
at the fall convocation of the Univer-
sity, held in University hall on Wednes-
day afternoon. In introducing the
speaker, Dr. Charles Willis Needhan,
who is president of the university, paid a
high tribute to Judge Stafford as a
scholar, man of letters, judge and man.
Judge Stafford presented a mastery ora
ton upon THE Gospel of Poetry" com
pletely winning his audience both by the
beauty and charm of his presentation,
and by the profundity of his wisdom.
He told his hearers that all men are and
must be poets at times, and that the
gospel of poetry is that the ideal shall
be real to thee"
All who know Judge Stafford know
that his greatness lies in the fact that in
him are combined the calm and dignihed
