contained more money than 1t ever did
before. In other words. the Washington

The Public Library. therefore, he said,
acts as an important agent by furnishing
the means for carrying such education on

the individual to enjoy richer life and to
secure a better livelihood.

juvenile books, carefully selected by
trained children's librarian or selected
from lists compiled by experts in chill
dren's literature. AS rapidly as possible
1t is charging its equipment of books
and periodicals in the field Of engineer

established. stated that 1t was the duty
of the assistant In charge to see that no
one enters the library and wastes valua-
bic time I'm fruitless efforts to find a
vague something. In certain cases even
the searching in the card catalogue is
done for him. and oftentimes assistance is
rendered to such an extent that an arm
full Of books is brought for his selection.
Mr.. Bowerman expressed qualification
that Congress had been persuaded. after
seven yea of persistent effort. to estab-
lish the first branc.. library by accepting
the offer Of Mr.. Carnegie to furnish the
money needed for library building at
Takoma Park. Mr.. BOwerman commend
ed the Y. NJ. c. A. station of the public
