and wholesome form OF diversion
We all need to get away from our.
selves occasionally. To lose ones
self in an absorbing piece of fic.
tion, to be transported to strange
scenes and to watch with breath.
less interest the development of a
dramatic situation or the unfold.
ing of character, to be able to
see where and how the hero failed
or what the elements were which
enabled him to conquer,-this is
an intellectual exercise just as val.
liable as if it were not also pleas
ant. 10 have followed the char
acters of story through difficult
ties to logical and satisfying
conclusion, is to be better able to
cope with the difficulties and de-.
cisions of one's own life.
1t is admitted, of course that to
do this the fiction must be whole
some in tone. To select from the
great mass ground out by the pub
fishing houses those novels which
really are wholesome and desira.
BILE, is one of the librarians most
difficult tasks. No one person
could hope to accomplish much at
such an undertaking, but by CO.
operative effort the situation is
fairly we'll met. The knowledge
of each Librarian is placed at the
service of all, and in the publish
ing of cooperative lists and in the
wedding out and threshing over
which takes place at every library
association meeting, values are
coming to be known and recog-
nized. 1t may safely be said that
there are no other helps in book
selection equal to those published
by various Libraries and library as.
sociations and current in the pro-
fession. Many of these could be
used to advantage by all persons
who buy books. Some of those
which would be of especial inter
est to teachers are: "a $500 re
ference library for schools" pub.

wins of Hartford; the Graded list
of the Buffalo Public Library, in
which large selection of general
literature is arranged according to
the school grades for which each
volume is best suited. Others
equally good could be mentioned
and any request for information
along this line will gladly be an
swered at any time by the State
Library Commission.
Another phase of library work
which is particularly appealing is
that among foreigners. There are
districts in some of our cities
where practically the entire popu-
lation attend churches in which
their native language is used, the
children go to the parochial schools
where the instruction is in their
native tongue. and the public Ii.
brary is almost the only Ameri-
canizing influence in the district.
In such place it's power for good
10 something marvellous. One II.

library ministers. She goes to
market with her neighbors. buys
her provisions from Polish, Bohs.

development of an infant. Mrs.
Brown returned that herself with
the smiling statement that that
baby was very much like hers. 1t
sounded like piece of maternal
complacency but after all, it was
quite right, for the development
of all healthy infants proceeds
along similar lines and her baby
undoubtedly was like the baby so
carefully recorded. After that
she read most of the books we had
on children, including Harrison's
"Study of child-nature," Kate
Douglas Wiggin's "Children's g
rights" Adler's "Moral instruc-
tlon of children" and when 1 left
her she was not reading, but
studying Baldwins "Mental devel-
opment in the child and the race"
Also when she learned that there
is a right and wrong way to
feed babies and why, she began to
wcnder if there were not equally
definite principles underlying the
proper feeding of adults; the
study of food and dietetids natur-
ally followed, then related topics
in domestic management and econ
omy, and as a result there can be
no doubt that her home is more
intelligently and therefore more
economically administered and
that her husband and children are
better nourished and better cared
for and consequently healthier
and happier. When her children
go to school she will not attribute
all their failures to their teachers,
but will study Johnny herself to
see what there is in his mental
development to make him good in
arithmetic and poor in language.
have quoted this instance in
derail simply as an example Of
what librarians all over the coun-
try are doing every day for their
readers. The net result in each
case depends upon the extent of
the Ebrary's resources, Its adap-
tation to the circumstances sur
rounding it and above all the in
telligence with which it is admin
istered.
Does this sound like education?
Well, this is library work.
In manufacturing community
the librarian tries to reach and to
help the workmen of all grades.
She confers with managers and
superintendents, utilizes the help
of every expert who crosses her
horizon, and endeaYors to select
and to make available books which
shall help every workman to move
on to grade higher. In many
cases these books are taken di-I
rectly to the factories, along with

A Trip to the Moon.

Some Ingenious and supposedly vera
cious figurer has made the interesting
discovery that in the last ten years
Taft has Travelled Il distance slightly
greater than that to the moon-or at
least he will have done so when he
completes this tour. Starting when
made governor general of the Philip
pines in 1900. he has been hitting the
road at n clip running all the way
has incidentally promoted peace and
matrimony on the way. This makes
him not only the most Travelled of the
presidents, but lands him in a class by
himself as globe trotter. Back and
forth to the Philippines, to Cuba. to
Porto Rico. to Panama. to the Vatican
and finally around the world he has
gone, to say nothing of the trips he
has made over his own land in outrun-
ming Bryan for the presidency. Will
liam Jennings is something of trav-
eler himself. and when the two of them
got on the road there were hot boxes
and smoking rights of way. The coun-
try has probably never seen distance
eaten up as it was in the last cam
paign. AS for Taft. he has the peri
patetic habit and may be expected to
Guido Roosevelt's record as railroad
patron. 1t may be that before Taft is
out of Office the aeropIane will become
the usual vehicle of travel, and il it
does and if a machine can be made big
HD tc,
1iat ne will take an aerial tour. If
laere are any new ways of going he
WIN be IN on them. as he has tried all
we ways there are in existence now
