Gus prospect of foreign travel, come for

People in ill-health come to consult

health at home; those who must travel
i'm search of it come to ask the altitude.
in search of it come 20 ask the altitude
and the climate of their prospective
homes before taking such a serious

Young men, full of the owe of change,
and older ones forced to change through
sad necessity. seek information about

in the different Western cities and the
scale of wages.
And so to the reference department
come the workers and the idiers-all
who are in need, whether of work or of
relaxation-and the dispensers of the
library's find their keenest
pleasure in sending all away with their
needs satisfied and their questions an

the Question Desk lnfOrma-
ton Is Sought on Every
Subject Imaginable.
.NE Of the busiest bureaus at the


ONE of the busiest bureaus at the
Public Library is the reference
department and several interesting n
unusual reasons are advanced for that
fact.
The reference department represents
the vital work of the library. All other
departments lead to it. At the receiv-
ing desk applications must be written
and recorded, and books must be
charged and discharged at a given rate
of speed in order to cover the business
of the day.
The American is a shy person and
shrinks from stating his or her needs
to a busy assistant often necessarily
absorbed in mechanical work. He re-
gains courage at the sight of a refer
ence desk a little removed from the
busy centre of the room where he is
welcomed by an attendant with APP
parent leisure to listen to any question
