A Talk on Libraries.

One of the interesting features Oh
the afternoon session was an inter-
esting and helpful talk by Purd b.
Wright, librarian Of the public IL
brary Of St. Joseph and member
Of the Missouri library commission
who told Of the aid given BY the
club women Of his state In the sue
cessful effort for a library commits
sion and travelling library q rev
years ago. Acknowledging them as
being the orlginators Of the move
ment for travelling libraries in Mis-
souri,, he told Of their work, and paid
tribute to their tireless energy and
helpfulness in the cause generally.
"In addition to the value and in
fIuence for good Of the travelling IL
brary, Of which no club woman IN
Kansas need be told" said MT.
wright, "the next best thing a COM
mission should do, is to render ex-
pert aid to the smaller public library
and the school library in organiza-
ton, book selection, care OF books
and finally, the planning and cree
ton Of buildings. All this requires
the trained worker, the professional
organizer--the specialist, as 1t were.
They produce great returns Tor the
investment in teaching uniformity IN
library affairs, economy in admins
tration, and increased efficiency"
The speaker insisted that the Wo-
men of Kansas need but let their
wants be known to the legislature
in an emphatic way, to secure, not
only such aid as he outlined but
everything else within reason IN
conclusion he urged cooperation win
other educational associations work
ing to the same end.
