In future use the latter institutions
will be rather public storehouses Of

tion and amusement He expressed
these opinions In an address made al
Trenton, n. j., before the New Jersey
Library association on Anticipation

RES" says the New York Times.
'The newspapers will more and more
usurp the work Of Ibraries," said Mr..
Dana. "They will be printed in larger
type and on better paper They VIII be
systematically arranged and will have
a digest and indices. In their maya
zine departments they will publish

the cogitations Of the best philoso-
pliers, the anticipatlons of the best So

"The Sunday supplements already
