IT CONCERNS ALL.

The most important question for the
public library is what books shall we
buy" In many towns the reading
committee Is a recognized adjunct of
the library, and the librarian has the
verdict of several different minds for
aid In his task OF selecting new books.
Most OF the voluntary readers are like
ly TO be women, and the service they
render the community Is real one, II
their judgment and taste are sound. On
the other hand, complaisant com.
mendation Of book as "very inter
esting' may do actual harm when the
book lies In the debatable land between
bad and good-the land Of current fc-
tion and trashy juveniles. A great
meeting Of English librarians recently
set forth some general principles which
should help determine the desrabiity
Of books. First, they declared the no.
tlon exploded that taste for good
reading develops from reading poor
books. The very contrary Is true. The
habit Of revellng In cheap fiction Is de-
structiye OF wholesome pleasure In
sound reading. The love of books. like
the love OF virtue. feeds In high. clean,
sweet pastures, not on refuse, and not
even on husks. Again, the demand for
certain books does not require the pub
lie library to supply them. 1t Is a
specious argument that the taxpayers
money should answer the taxpayers
desire. More than sixty per cent Of
the books drawn from public Libraries
are works Of fiction. The thin, taste.
less stream Of modern fiction Is too
often the library's chief Offering to the
community. Certain libraries adopt the
rigorous measure Of buying no fiction
until 1t Is a year old. The librarians
agreed that the rule Is an excellent

ITS GROWTH IS REMARKABLE.

A recent examination Of more than
two thousand school children in New
York City disclosed the fact that the
teeth Of nearly threc-fourths OF them
needed treatment. OF more than thir.
teen hundred pupils, only two had ever
had tooth filed. 1t Is reckoned that
there are more than twenty million
school children In the United States,
hardly any OF whom are wholly free
from defective teeth and as age In.
creases the trouble becomes more con.
spicuous. 1t Is the same all over the
world. Decayed teeth are characters.
tic OF civilization. So general Is this
abnormal condition that dental decay
has been called "the peoples disease"
An interesting movement has recently
started In Boston to combat the evil
by organized effort. A committee known
as the Dental Hygiene Council. repre-
senting the dental profession and socie.
ties In Massachusetts and the Tufts
and Harvard dental schools, has pre-.
pared a small, concise leaaet on the
care and Use Of the Teeth" This was
distributed first through the Municipal
Bath Department. which his charge
OF the six free gymnaslums In the city
and the public baths. The leaaet was
also supplemented by short talks to the
children who frequent the baths and
constitute the classes In the gymnasl.
ums; and since then the instructions
have been distributed by many social
settlements, hospitals, consumptives'
homes and camps, public schools, and
even large business houses. The Bos.
ton tuberculosis Association has incor.
porated a dental exhibit In its travelling
exhibitions and Libraries, and one will
be presented to the National Tuberculo-
sis Congress which will be held In
Washington during the coming autumn.
